00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:02,060
Jack and the Beanstalk

2
00:00:02,590 --> 00:00:05,800
Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,440
who lived with his poor widowed mother.

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,889
They had sold almost everything they owned
to buy food.

5
00:00:11,889 --> 00:00:14,546
When their last cow stopped giving milk,

6
00:00:14,546 --> 00:00:17,700
Jack’s mother sent him to town to sell it.

7
00:00:17,700 --> 00:00:21,302
On the way to town Jack met a strange fellow

8
00:00:21,302 --> 00:00:24,550
who told him stories of magic beans.

9
00:00:24,790 --> 00:00:29,510
“Where can I buy some of these magic beans
for my mother?” asked Jack.

10
00:00:29,510 --> 00:00:32,505
“I have the last five magic beans

11
00:00:32,505 --> 00:00:36,055
and I will sell them to you because you are a good boy,”

12
00:00:36,055 --> 00:00:38,580
the strange man smiled at Jack.

13
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:41,315
“Well I have nothing but our old cow

14
00:00:41,315 --> 00:00:44,715
and we need the money I would get by selling her for food.”

15
00:00:44,950 --> 00:00:48,125
The man replied, “Trust me, my boy,

16
00:00:48,125 --> 00:00:51,030
these beans will bring you food and fortune

17
00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:53,350
and your mother will be proud.”

18
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:58,030
Jack hesitated but finally traded the cow
for the beans.

19
00:00:58,030 --> 00:01:01,368
When Jack returned home his mother was furious

20
00:01:01,368 --> 00:01:04,531
and threw the beans out the kitchen window, crying.

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,766
Jack went to bed that night, sad and hungry.

22
00:01:09,050 --> 00:01:14,380
He woke the next morning to find a huge beanstalk
growing in the garden.

23
00:01:14,380 --> 00:01:17,894
“The beans really are magic!” he cried.

24
00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:20,890
Jack saw that stalk reached the clouds.

25
00:01:21,130 --> 00:01:24,709
He remembered stories about the clouds containing gold

26
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:28,479
and started climbing the stalk to see what he could find.

27
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:30,920
He climbed and climbed.

28
00:01:31,130 --> 00:01:34,697
When he got to the top he saw a huge castle

29
00:01:34,697 --> 00:01:36,341
and headed for it.

30
00:01:36,550 --> 00:01:40,765
The door was so big that Jack could crawl
beneath it.

31
00:01:41,070 --> 00:01:45,369
Once inside he saw a giant man eating his dinner.

32
00:01:45,369 --> 00:01:46,804
When the giant was finished

33
00:01:46,804 --> 00:01:51,100
he called his servant to bring him his bag of gold coins.

34
00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:52,784
While counting his money

35
00:01:52,784 --> 00:01:56,304
the giant became drowsy and fell asleep.

36
00:01:56,304 --> 00:02:00,700
Jack crept up to the giant and stole his bag of gold.

37
00:02:00,700 --> 00:02:03,043
He struggled down the beanstalk with his money

38
00:02:03,043 --> 00:02:06,662
and when he got to the bottom he called for his mother.

39
00:02:07,299 --> 00:02:09,237
Jack’s mother was very happy

40
00:02:09,237 --> 00:02:11,738
because this money was the same money

41
00:02:11,738 --> 00:02:16,034
that the giant had stolen from Jack’s father many years ago.

42
00:02:16,260 --> 00:02:18,428
But she was also afraid

43
00:02:18,428 --> 00:02:21,194
she knew how dangerous the giant was

44
00:02:21,194 --> 00:02:24,821
and made Jack promise he would never go back.

45
00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:30,100
While Jack did promise, after awhile the money began to run out.

46
00:02:30,220 --> 00:02:34,940
Jack began to wonder if he would find anything
else in the castle.

47
00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:38,825
Once again, Jack decided he would go back up the beanstalk

48
00:02:38,825 --> 00:02:41,029
and back to the castle.

49
00:02:41,029 --> 00:02:43,585
Once again he reached the castle

50
00:02:43,585 --> 00:02:46,170
and climbed under the castle door.

51
00:02:46,330 --> 00:02:51,086
And once again he found the giant eating dinner at his table.

52
00:02:51,086 --> 00:02:56,020
When he was finished this time however, the giant called for his magic hen.

53
00:02:56,190 --> 00:03:01,173
Jack was amazed when he saw the hen lay an egg of pure gold.

54
00:03:01,730 --> 00:03:03,764
While the giant was watching the hen

55
00:03:03,764 --> 00:03:07,780
he again became drowsy and fell asleep.

56
00:03:07,969 --> 00:03:11,787
Jack crept silently to the table and grabbed the hen.

57
00:03:12,119 --> 00:03:13,354
When he returned home

58
00:03:13,354 --> 00:03:17,382
his mother was very angry that Jack had gone back to the castle.

59
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,380
She grabbed Jack’s axe, intent on cutting the beanstalk down.

60
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:24,136
Jack begged her not to

61
00:03:24,136 --> 00:03:27,730
and showed her how hen that could lay golden eggs.

62
00:03:27,730 --> 00:03:29,957
Jack’s mother put the axe down

63
00:03:29,957 --> 00:03:31,887
and watched with delight

64
00:03:31,887 --> 00:03:35,727
as the hen layed one beautiful golden egg after another.

65
00:03:36,050 --> 00:03:39,882
After awhile, Jack’s curiosity got the better of him

66
00:03:39,882 --> 00:03:44,110
and he once again thought about what else he could find in the castle.

67
00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:48,593
Once again, Jack decided he would go back up the beanstalk

68
00:03:48,593 --> 00:03:50,698
and back to the castle.

69
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:53,405
Once again he reached the castle

70
00:03:53,405 --> 00:03:55,926
and climbed under the castle door.

71
00:03:55,926 --> 00:04:00,944
And once again he found the giant eating dinner
at his table.

72
00:04:00,944 --> 00:04:04,701
And once again, when he was finished this time however

73
00:04:04,701 --> 00:04:07,375
the giant called for his magic harp.

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,560
Jack watched as the harp began to play beautiful music all by itself.

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,011
The music was so beautiful that before long

76
00:04:17,011 --> 00:04:21,179
the lazy giant was once again fast asleep.

77
00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:23,819
Jack crept silently to the table.

78
00:04:23,819 --> 00:04:26,117
But as soon as Jack picked up the harp

79
00:04:26,117 --> 00:04:30,554
it began playing very loudly in his strange hands

80
00:04:30,779 --> 00:04:32,593
and the giant awoke.

81
00:04:32,860 --> 00:04:38,601
“Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum,” yelled the giant

82
00:04:38,601 --> 00:04:41,510
and he chased after the boy and his harp.

83
00:04:41,710 --> 00:04:44,869
Jack raced to the beanstalk and slid down.

84
00:04:44,869 --> 00:04:48,645
He could feel the stalk shake as the giant began climbing down.

85
00:04:49,059 --> 00:04:54,529
Luckily his axe was near by and he began chopping
down the beanstalk.

86
00:04:54,529 --> 00:04:58,419
The beanstalk shook and cracked under the weight of the giant

87
00:04:58,419 --> 00:05:00,067
and Jack’s chopping.

88
00:05:00,309 --> 00:05:02,360
Finally the stalk snapped

89
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,399
and the giant fell to the earth never to be seen again.

90
00:05:06,659 --> 00:05:10,445
Jack and his mother lived happily ever after.

91
00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:11,859
The End
