Once upon a time, there was a hot desert. And a lot of needy families lived there. Jack and his mother were one of the families that lived there. His father had died years ago. In the desert, there was a river. They had nothing to sell. Every morning, evening, and night, Jack needed to go to the river for water.
 Unluckily, one day the river ran out of water. There was no more water for them.

Jack’s mother told Jack to sell the house for money to buy food and water to survive, so Jack went to the desert market to sell the house. Soon, an old man bought the house. They made a lot of money.
 Jack and his mother became homeless and slept outside on the sleeping bags.
He was sad and wanted to use the money to buy magic beans, to grow for good fortune and luck." I want to buy magic beans with all the money", he said. However, his mum disagreed. She wanted to buy a cow."You need to buy a cow for our family" she said. The cow would give them unlimited milk. He did not listen to his mum. He went to the market quietly and secretly to buy magic beans.

Jack came back at night back. His mum was sleeping peacefully. He planted the magic beans in the desert and went to sleep on his sleeping bag. The next day, Jack saw that the magic beans grew up into a large beanstalk that went all the way up to the sky. He was curious. He saw that his mum was still sleeping and decided to climb up the beanstalk to see how far it was and where it grew. Jack climbed the beanstalk with all his might and strength. When Jack reached the top, he saw a beautiful, big castle.

It was huge. He walked towards it silently and slowly. Jack knocked on the door. A few seconds later, a huge ugly lady came out and opened the door ‘Who are you?’ the lady asked . Jack was scared and said softly, ‘I……I am Jack.’ ‘Well, come in then.’ Jack saw a lot of things inside. He saw a table, a bedroom and a lot of things. Then the giant lady used her magic wand to light the fire.
Jack was shocked because he had never seen someone light a fire like this before.

Then, the giant lady began to cook dinner. She went to the kitchen. Suddenly, Jack saw a bag full of coins, so he tip-toed to the bag. He lifted the bag and threw some coins into his sleeping bag that he was carrying along with him.

Jack heard another giant go into the castle. He hid under the bed in the Giant's bedroom. It was another giant. He was even bigger than the giant lady. Now he was looking for something. After a while, he said, ‘Where is my bag of gold coins?’, ‘I don’t know?’, The lady said. 'Then where is the goose?' said the giant. ‘Here it is.’ said the giant lady.

Then, the goose immediately laid golden eggs.
Jack was shocked again.

He sets off to steal the goose.
 A while later, the giants had dinner. Jack was hungry to see a lot of delicious food. However, he could not steal the goose. After dinner, the giants went to bed and fell asleep. Jack silently crept out of the bedroom. He lifted the goose and ran. However, the castle door was locked.

He lifted the goose and ran down the beanstalk. However, the castle door was locked. He needed a key to open it. He went to the giants' bedroom to look for it. He saw that the key was under the bed so he went under the bed to quickly get it. However, the sound of the key was too loud that it made the giants wake up. 'Get him!" The giants yelled. Jack ran as fast as he could. He opened the door quickly. He was sprinting. He climbed down the beanstalk.
He lifted the goose and ran down the beanstalk.

"The axe, the axe. Cut down the beanstalk. He is coming! the giant is coming! "he shouted.
Jack's mum was surprised and ran to get the axe. She gave it to him to cut the beanstalk down. The giant fell down and died.
Jack and his mum used the goose to sell the golden eggs and bought a big new house in the city.       

The End.
