Jack and the Beanstalk

Grade 2, Clinton Avenue Elementary School, Port Jefferson Station, New York


Once upon a time, there was a boy named JACK who lived with his mother and a COW named MILKY-WHITE.  They were very poor so Jack traded Milky-White for five MAGICAL beans.  Jack's mother was so angry that he traded the cow for beans that she threw the beans out the window. 

While Jack slept, the magical beans grew and grew into a VINE that touched the sky.  When Jack woke up he was surprised and EXCITED

He climbed up the BEANSTALK, and climbed and climbed and climbed some more.  Finally, he got to the top where he saw a big castle in the SKY

Standing on the steps was a very tall woman.  She warned Jack that her husband, the VERY UGLY OGRE, liked to eat little boys on toast.  She was KIND to Jack and she fed him and HID him in the oven. 

Suddenly, Jack heard the THUMP THUMP THUMP of the ogre coming and heard him say, "FE FI FO FUM, I smell the blood of an Englishman."  But the ogre did not find Jack.  So the ogre took a NAP.  He fell asleep and snored, "zzzzzzzzz."  It was loud as thunder! 

Jack sneaked out of the oven, grabbed the GOLD and FLEW DOWN the beanstalk. 

When they ran out of gold, Jack went back up the beanstalk.  The ogre's wife hid him in the oven again. 

Once the ogre was asleep, Jack stole the hen that LAID the golden EGGS.  He slid back down the beanstalk and brought the hen home.  He said, "LAY," and the hen laid eggs made of gold. 

After a while, Jack went back up the beanstalk for a third time.  This time he hid IN the bread box instead of the oven.  When the ogre smelled Jack the wife told him to look in the oven.  But he wasn't there!  The ogre did not find Jack, so he listened to his golden HARP until he fell asleep. 

Jack stole the harp, but the harp cried, "Master, master!" and the ogre woke up.  He chased Jack down the beanstalk. 

Jack took an AX and QUICKLY chopped down the beanstalk.  The ogre fell down and broke his crown and the beanstalk went tumbling over. 

Jack and his mother were very RICH.  Jack married a PRINCESS and they lived happily ever after.

The End
