Jack’s Magical Adventure! ✨🌱
Once upon a time, Jack and his mother lived in a small cottage. They were very poor, and when their cow, Milky White, stopped giving milk, Jack had to take her to the market to sell. 🐄💔
On his way, he met a butcher who offered him five magical beans in exchange for the cow. Jack was excited and ran home to show his mother, but she was furious! 😠 She threw the beans out the window, and they went to bed without supper. But overnight, those beans grew into a giant beanstalk that stretched up, up, and up into the sky! 🌌🌱
What Jack Found Above the Clouds! ☁️🏰
The next morning, Jack climbed the beanstalk to see where it led. He found himself in a magical land with a giant’s castle! 🏰 Inside the castle lived a kind but fearful giantess and her husband, the terrifying giant who would roar:
“Fee, fi, fo, fum,I smell the blood of an Englishman!” 🗣️👃
Jack asked the giantess for breakfast, and she gave him food, but warned him to hide. As the giant slept, Jack stole two bags of gold coins 💰💰 and escaped down the beanstalk!
But Jack’s curiosity brought him back to the castle two more times! He cleverly tricked the giant again, escaping with a magic hen that laid golden eggs 🐔🥚✨ and a singing harp 🎶🎵. But during the final escape, the giant chased him down the beanstalk!
A Giant Leap to Safety! 🏃♂️🪓
Jack called for his mother to bring him an axe and chopped down the beanstalk just in time! The giant fell and disappeared forever. 🌌🌱 Jack and his mother lived happily ever after with their treasures, never worrying about being poor again. 🏡💖
