Jack and the Beanstalk
Joseph Jacobs
Jack and his mother are very poor and have only their cow, Milky-white, to help them survive. When the cow stops giving milk, Jack is sent to the market to sell her, but he ends up trading the cow for a handful of strange-looking beans. His mother is angry and throws the beans out the window, but by the next morning, a massive beanstalk has grown all the way into the sky! Jack climbs the beanstalk and discovers a giant house where a scary ogre lives. To help his mother, Jack must find a way to take the ogre's treasures, including a hen that lays golden eggs and a singing harp, without getting caught by the giant who smells the blood of an Englishman!
