Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk (English: Jack and the Beanstalk) is an English folk tale about the brave boy Jack who defeats a giant.

A widow, forced to sell her cow, sends her son Jack to the market. On the way, Jack meets an old man who offers to exchange the cow for magical beans, supposedly those from which a stalk will grow all the way to the sky. Angered, the mother, finding out about the deal, throws the beans out the window. In the morning, Jack sees that the old man was telling the truth. The curious boy climbs the stalk until he finds a road leading to a certain house. At the house, Jack meets the giantess and asks her to feed him. The kind woman fulfills his request. But then the owner of the house returns— the giant cannibal. The giantess hides Jack in the oven. When the giant enters, he says…

When the giant goes to sleep, Jack leaves home. However, later he comes back to steal the bag of gold and the goose that lays golden eggs. The cannibal giant starts chasing him, but Jack, cutting down the stalk, defeats the giant.
