One day, Jack\u2019s 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, \u201cWhat will you give me in return for my cow?\u201d The man answered, \u201cI will give you five magic beans!\u201d Jack took the magic beans and gave the man the cow. But when he reached home, \u00a0Jack\u2019s mother was very angry. She said, \u201cYou fool! He took away your cow and gave you some beans!\u201d She threw the beans out of the window. Jack was very sad and went to sleep without dinner.<\/div>\n<div>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\u2019s wife in the kitchen. Jack said, \u201cCould you please give me something to eat? I am so hungry!\u201d The kind wife gave him bread and some milk.<\/div>\n<div>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, \u201cFee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I\u2019ll grind his bones to make my bread!\u201d The wife said, \u201cThere is no boy in here!\u201d So, the giant ate his food and then, went to his room. He took out his sacks of gold coins, counted them and kept them aside. Then, \u00a0he went to sleep. In the night, Jack crept out of his hiding place, took one sack of gold 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 sometime.<\/div>\n<div>He climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant\u2019s house again. Once again, Jack asked the giant\u2019s wife for food, but while he was eating, the giant returned. Jack leapt up in fright and went and hid under the bed. The giant cried, \u201cFee-fifo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I\u2019ll grind his bones to make my bread!\u201d The wife said, \u201cThere is no boy in here!\u201d The giant ate his food and went to his room. There, he took out a hen. He shouted, \u201cLay!\u201d and the hen laid a golden egg. When the giant fell asleep, Jack took the hen and climbed down the beanstalk. Jack\u2019s mother was very happy with him.<\/div>\n<div>After some days, Jack once again climbed the beanstalk and went to the giant\u2019s castle. For the third time, Jack met the giant\u2019s wife and asked for some food. Once again, the giant\u2019s wife gave him bread and milk. But while Jack was eating, the giant came home. \u201cFee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive, or be he dead, I\u2019ll grind his bones to make my bread!\u201d cried the giant. \u201cDon\u2019t be silly! There is no boy in here!\u201d said his wife.<\/div>\n<div>The giant had a magical harp that could play beautiful songs. While the giant slept, Jack took the harp and was about to leave. Suddenly, the magic harp cried, \u201cHelp master! A boy is stealing me!\u201d The giant woke up and saw Jack with the harp. 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 axe. He began to chop the beanstalk. The giant fell and died.<\/div>\n<div>Jack and his mother were now very rich and they lived happily ever after.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once upon a time, there\u00a0lived a poor widow and her son, Jack.
