Once upon a time there lived q

his mother told him one day that
they should have to sell the old COW

long number Of years.
So Jack took the COW to market,
but he was not glad to do it. Or
his way to the city he met butch.
er who needed some fresh meat fol
the people who bought of i'm. He
knew that jack COW would make
delicious eating, so he told Jack
he'd buy the animal for handful
of beans.
Just then a good fairy came down
to earth, lit on Jack s shoulder, and
whispered in his ear:
Take the beans.''
So Jack took them and gave the
cow to the butcher. OF course
Jacks mother was very very angry
when she saw what her son had
done. So she threw the beans out
of the window and sent Jack to bed
without his supper.
But next morning, when they
woke up. they found that the beans
had taken root and grown over
night. From the place where
Jack S mother had thrown them they
bad sprouted and a big, heavy bean
stalk was shooting right up out Of
The ground. It's top was far above
the clouds. Nobody could see it.
Jack climbed I'D to explore.
When he cot to the top, Jack
found great big plain, with the
walls of an enormous city in full
view. So he went to the city and
told them who he was. A good
fairy came TO him again and told
him about d bad old Giant who liv-
ed in a castle nearby, and said that
Jack ought to 60 and kill the Giant
because the Giant. had killed Jack S
father many years before.
50 the people in the city all
shouted.

the Princess. But the Giant had
learned about the little fellow S
meddling with his affairs. and he
came to the city, captured the Prin-
cess, and took her off to his castle.
Then Jack took command of the
Kings armies and led them. against
the Giant. They had a hard time
of it, and lots Of people got hurt.
but they finally injured the Giant
and rescued the Princess. Then
Jack took her in his arms and began
running as fast as he could, and the
Giant went running after him.
And when they got to the top of
the beanstalk. Jack went down it,
carrying the Princess. And the
Giant came following after him.
But Jack reached the bottom when
the Giant was just about halfway
down. So he rushed to the wood
pile, seized an axe, and began chop

few hundred feet above the ground
the whole thing came toppling over
and the big man fell to the ground.
and Jack rushed in and slew him
with his dagger.
