BR-12 Jack and Beanstalk

“Plant them today and you’ll see a beanstalk reaching to the clouds by morning.” (p.10)

Do you know the story “Jack and Beanstalk”?

When I was a child, I used to read this picture book. And I have done a play at theatre when I was a kindergartner. The story is so famous, so you may have heard one or more times.

The main character is Jack. His house is poor. One day, he tried to sell his cow. An old man reached deep into his pocket and took out five dried beans. The beans were “Magic beans”. A beanstalk grew up to the clouds!! The adventure was begun…

If you want to know the ending, you should read this story. I recommend you “Jack and beanstalk”.
