I read "Jack and the beanstalk". It is very famous children's story. I knew the title of this book, but did't know the contents of the story. So I knew it this time.
Jack is a main character. One day, his mother ask he to sell the cow to the market. However, Jack meets an old man on the road and he changes the five beans and the cow which the old man had. Jack's mother gets angry, and she throw away the beans.
Next day, the beans were growing into a big tree. Jack climbs the beanstalk and arrives at the castle of the giant on the cloud. He meets a giant's wife. The giant eats children. So he is very dangerous. She says to Jack "Be careful!", but the giant came home. Jack hid the oven. After the giant slept, Jack found a bag of gold and he take it.
Next day, he climbs the beanstalk again. He stole the fowl which lays gold egg. However, when trying to take a harp, the harp begins to talk, and the giant gets up. Jack climbed down the beanstalk quickly. His mother cut down the beanstalk with an ax.
The giant fell with a thud.
Jack and his mother were very happy. They became richly and lived happily.
I'd like to be richly, too.
