A beanstalk grows, and Jack climbs it to a kingdom in the sky. He meets a giant and his wife, steals their gold coins, a hen that lays golden eggs, and a magical heart. Jack escapes the giant, cuts down the beanstalk, and becomes rich. The title of the story is Jack and the Beanstalk. It was created by Otto the Ham. Once upon a time there lived a poor widow and her son Jack. One day Jack's mother told him to sell their only cow. Jack went to the market. And on the way he met a man who wanted to buy his cow. Jack asked, what will you give me in return for my cow? The man answered, I will give you five magic beans. Jack took the magic beans and gave the man the cow. But when he reached home Jack's mother was very angry. She said, you fool, he took away your cow and gave you some beans. She threw the beans out of the window. Jack was very sad and went to sleep without dinner. The next day when Jack woke up in the morning and looked out of the window. He saw that a huge beanstalk had grown from his magic beans. He climbed up the beanstalk and reached a kingdom in the sky. There lived a giant and his wife. Jack went inside the house and found the giant's wife in the kitchen. Jack said, could you please give me something to eat? I am hungry. The kind wife gave him bread and some milk. While he was eating the giant came home. The giant was very big and looked very fearsome. Jack was terrified and went and hid inside. The giant cried, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread. The wife said, there is no boy in here. So the giant ate his food and went to his room. He took out his top of all coins, cut them and kept them aside. Then he went to sleep. In the night Jack crept out of his hiding place. Took one stock of all coins and climbed down the beanstalk. At home he gave the coins to his mother. His mother was very happy and they lived well for some time. Climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant's house again. Once again Jack asked the giant wife for food. But while he was eating the giant returned home. Jack leaped up inside and went and hid under the bed. The giant cried, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread. The wife said, there is no boy in here. The giant ate his food and went to his room. There he took out a hen. He shouted, meh! And the hen laid a golden egg. While the giant fell asleep Jack took the hen and climbed down the beanstalk. Jack's mother was very happy with him. After some days Jack once again climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant's castle for the third time. Jack met the giant's wife and asked for some food. Once again the giant's wife gave him bread and milk. But while Jack was eating the giant came home. See see fum fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread. Cried the giant. Don't be silly, there is no boy in here. Said his wife. The giant had a magical heart that could play beautiful songs. While the giant slept, Jack took the heart and was about to leave. Suddenly the magic heart cried, help me, help me sir, a boy is stealing me. The giant woke up and saw Jack with the heart. Furious he ran after Jack. But Jack was too fast for him. He ran down the beanstalk and reached home. The giant followed him down. Jack quickly ran inside his house and fetched an ox. He began to chop the beanstalk. The giant fell and died. Jack and his mother were now rich, very rich and they lived happily ever after. The End
