Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a poor boy named Jack. He lived with his mother, and they had very little to eat. One day, Jack's mother asked him to sell their only cow at the market to buy some food. Jack set off with the cow, but on his way, he met a mysterious man who offered him five magical beans in exchange for the cow. Excited by the prospect of magic, Jack accepted the offer and hurried back home.

When he arrived, Jack's mother was furious. She threw the beans out of the window and sent Jack to bed without dinner. That night, something amazing happened. The beans began to grow, and by morning, they had formed a gigantic beanstalk that reached high into the sky.

Curious and adventurous, Jack decided to climb the beanstalk. He climbed higher and higher until he reached the top, where he found a magnificent castle. Inside the castle lived a giant who was very fierce and owned great treasures. Jack was frightened but also very brave. He sneaked into the castle and saw a golden hen that laid golden eggs. He quickly grabbed the hen and ran back to the beanstalk.

As Jack climbed down, the giant woke up and realized that Jack was stealing his treasures. The giant roared in anger and began to chase Jack down the beanstalk. Jack reached the bottom first and called for his mother. With a quick thinking, he grabbed an axe and chopped down the beanstalk just as the giant was about to climb down.

The beanstalk fell, and the giant was never seen again. Jack and his mother lived happily ever after, enjoying the golden eggs and no longer worrying about their poverty. From that day on, Jack learned the value of bravery, adventure, and the importance of making wise choices.
