Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and his mother were very poor. All that they had to eat from was a cow, and they didn't have enough money to get anything else besides the cow, and so Jack's mother sent him off to sell their cow.
When he went into the city to give his cow, he saw a man that called his name. Jack didn't know how the man knew his name, but he didn't dare ask.
"What?" he asked. "I would like to trade the cow for a bag of beans," came the reply. "Um...what do they do?"
"Plant them, and you'll see," said the man.

So when Jack got home, he told his mother what had happened. His mother was angry. She threw the beans outside the window and sent him to bed without supper (besides the fact that they had no supper to eat).
The next day, Jack looked out the window and saw a long row of pumpkins. "Look, Mother, look! Outside the window! Pumpkins! Pumpkins!" Jack was really excited. He'd never tasted pumpkins, and he was very anxious about what they could do with them. He soon found out what they could do with them; things like pumpkin pies. His favorite thing was a jack-o-lantern, because it had his name in it.

With their first batch of pumpkins, they ate ate them and made things out of them. With their second batch of pumpkins, they sold them, and soon they had enough money to buy two cows!
