So Jack went upstairs to his little room in the attic , and sad and sorry he was , to be sure , as much for his mother’s sake , as for the loss of his supper

At last he dropped off to sleep

‘What!’ says Jack’s mother, ‘have you been such a fool, such a dolt, such an idiot, as to give away my Milky-white, the best milker in the parish, and prime beef to boot, for a set of paltry beans? Take that! Take that! Take that! And as for your precious beans here they go out of the window. And now off with you to bed. Not a sup shall you drink, and not a bit shall you swallow this very night.’

So Jack went upstairs to his little room in the attic, and sad and sorry he was, to be sure, as much for his mother’s sake, as for the loss of his supper.

At last he dropped off to sleep.

When he woke up , the room looked so funny . The sun was shining into part of it , and yet all the rest was quite dark and shady . So Jack jumped up and dressed himself and went to the window . And what do you think he saw ? Why , the beans his mother had thrown out of the window into the garden had sprung up into a big beanstalk which went up and up and up till it reached the sky . So the man spoke truth after all

The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window , so all he had to do was to open it and give a jump on to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder . So Jack climbed , and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed till at last he reached the sky
