The Jack And The Beanstalk story begins with Jack and his poor widowed mother living in a home without food. They had no more money to buy food for their cow and their cow had stopped giving them milk. So Jack’s mother had sent him to the market to trade the cow for some money to get food. Then a strange man tells Jack stories about magic beans and convinces Jack to buy some off of him. When Jack showed his mother what he had done, his mother was angry and threw the magic beans out the window and sent Jack to bed without food. The next morning, Jack woke up to find a giant beanstalk growing outside the window. He climbed up, found a castle in the sky and entered to see what’s inside. There he found a giant who smells Jack in the room and says the classic phrase: “FEE-FI-FO-FUM” The giant falls asleep counting his gold coins, then Jack steals the coins and takes them back home to his Mother. Jack and his mother run out of money, so Jack goes back up again to see what else he can find.
