N ARRATOR: Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack. He lived with his mother in a small village.
M OTHER: We are very poor. We have no money. Our cow has no milk.
JACK: What are we going to do?
M OTHE R: You'll go to the market and sell the cow.
NARRAT OR: Jack left his home and met an old man on the road.
OLD MAN: I will buy your cow. I will pay you with beans. Here, these are magic beans.
NARRATOR: Jack took the beans home to his mother.
M OTHER: You stupid boy. We have nothing now. We are going to die.
NARRATOR: She threw the beans out the window. The next morning, Jack woke up and saw a huge beanstalk outside
his window. It went into the clouds. He decided to climb it. At the top, he saw a castle. Inside the
castle, there lived a giant and his wife. He went into the castle.
WIFE: What are you doing? My husband likes to eat boys for breakfast. You need to hide or he will eat you.
JAC K : I'm so scared . Please help me.
WIFE: Here, climb inside the oven. After breakfast, my husband will fall asleep.
G IANT: Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman.
If he's alive or if he's dead,
I'll use his bones to make my bread.
Hmm. I smell a boy. Wife, are you going to feed me a boy for breakfast?
WIFE: No, I think the smell is the boy from last week. Here's your breakfast.
N ARRATOR: The giant ate, counted his gold coins, and soon fell asleep. Jack got out of the oven, took a few gold
coins, climbed down the beanstalk, and ran to his mother.
M OTH ER: Oh, Jack. You saved us. Now we have money for food. But you are not going to go back to the castle.
The giant will eat you.
N ARRATOR: But Jack wanted more money. Soon he climbed the beanstalk. Again the giant's wife hid Jack in the
oven. The giant had a hen. It laid golden eggs. After the giant fell asleep, Jack stole the hen.
M OTHER: What will we do with a hen? Why didn't you bring more gold coins? Jack, you have no sense.
}ACK: Wait, mother. The hen is going to lay a golden egg. Watch.
NARRAT OR: The hen laid a golden egg.
MOTHER: Oh, you wonderful boy! We will be rich.

harp was playing. It made beautiful music. Soon the giant went to sleep, and Jack took the harp. The
giant heard a noise and woke up.
GrANT: I will catch you and eat you alive.
NARRATOR: The giant ran after Jack. Jack climbed down the beanstalk. The giant followed . Jack took an axe and
chopped down the stalk. The giant fell.
GIANT: Ahhhhhhhhhh!

MOTHER: Now we are safe. The harp will give us beautiful music. My sadness will go away. Our lives will be
happy. You saved us!
