My little friend, welcome to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, where we will take you on a magical journey above the clouds, as young Jack faces a mighty giant with wisdom and cleverness.
Jack and His Mother
Once upon a time, long ago, there lived a boy alone with his mother, and he helped her with everything.
They had one cow, so the mother decided to send Jack to sell the cow, because they could no longer provide food for it.
The Magic Beans
In the morning, Jack went out leading his cow to sell it at the market, and he met an old man carrying a strange bag in his hand, so he asked him why he was passing by.
Jack said: My mother sent me to sell our cow at the market because we desperately need money.
The old man said to him: What do you think about selling me your cow in exchange for these magic beans?
Little Jack agreed and sold the cow to the man in exchange for magic beans. When Jack returned home, he thought his mother would be happy.
Mother’s Anger
When his mother asked him about the price of the cow, he gave her the bag of beans, and she said to him: Where is the money?
Jack replied: I sold the cow for these magic beans.
The mother was very angry and thought that Jack had been deceived because of his young age. He could not bear his mother's tears, so he threw the beans out of the window, then went into his room and slept sadly.
The Giant Beanstalk
When he woke up early in the morning, he saw a large beanstalk in front of him, and he began to think for a while. How did the beanstalk grow? And where would it end up?
So he decided to climb it and investigate, and when he reached the top of it, he found a large palace in front of him, so he decided to explore it from the inside.
Inside the Giant’s Castle
Our friend Jack went under the door and saw a giant sleeping on the bed, surrounded by a group of iron structures that looked like guards. When they saw him, they made a sound to warn the giant.
The giant woke up to see what was happening, so Jack quickly hid behind a chair. The giant went to the kitchen and ate a large amount of meat, then sat on the chair and took out a bag of gold coins from his pocket and began counting them, then he went to sleep.
Jack crept quietly, took the bag, and went down to his house. When he gave it to his mother and told her about everything he had seen, she said to him: This greedy giant has stolen all of your father’s precious things.
The mother advised Jack not to go there again, but Jack was eager to get his father's things back.
So he climbed the beanstalk again and entered the giant's house. Jack found the giant asleep, but the statues woke the giant, and when he woke up, he began to look for the intruder, but he found nothing.
The giant entered the kitchen, ate a quantity of meat, then returned carrying a chicken in his hand and said to her: My magic chicken, lay me a golden egg!
Indeed, the hen laid a golden egg for the giant, who then took it and put it in a basket full of eggs, returned to his bed, and slept soundly.
Jack seized the opportunity and took the hen to his mother. When she saw it, she was very happy, but she repeated her warning to Jack about the giant.
But Jack paid no attention to his mother’s words, and the next day, Jack climbed the beanstalk and entered the giant’s house.
The Fall of the Giant
This time the giant was awake and playing a magic guitar, so Jack waited until he fell asleep. When he tried to grab the magic guitar, it screamed, "Help, sir! Someone is trying to steal me!"
The giant woke up with a face full of anger and began to chase Jack. As Jack quickly climbed down the beanstalk, he called to his mother and asked her to bring an axe.
Very quickly, Jack began cutting down the magic beanstalk, causing the giant to fall hard to the ground, and everyone was rid of his evil.
Jack and his mother lived very happily after he bought a large house, beautiful orchards, and many cows for his mother.
The moral of Jack and the Beanstalk
Good intentions open the door to good fortune, and courage in the face of difficulties is essential. Greed and evil, no matter how long they last, will eventually be defeated. We must obey our parents and listen to their advice. Success requires intelligence, not strength.
