Jack and mom’s vegetables perished one dry summer
So Jack traded their precious cow for some fodder
Along with his bounty were 5 magic beans
Which Jack planted the best within his means
A giant beanstalk sprung from the ground
And Jack leapt right on it without a frown
What Jack found at its top was a castle
In it lived a lovely giant couple
Jack needed food and money
The giants told him not to worry
They gave him half a bag of gold coins
In return for an afternoon of drudgery and toil
Promising to return for more work and reward the next day
Jack politely tipped his hat and went on his way
