All time favorite and well renowned children tales, which tell of a story about this poor widow with her adolescence son,Jack. There lived in the outskirt of the town with, and the only valuable possession they had with them were their small vintage cottage to live in and a cow to feed provide them with fresh warm mile daily.The story played around with its focus revolving around Jack...

One, day they ran out gold to guarantee substantial provision. It is harder to search for firewood in the midst of winter to chopped and sell. Desperation for solid food was influencing their decision to survive. In the last resort, the widow finalize on selling the cow for exchanging it will gold. Jack opposed his mother decision, but could find no other valid answer to overcome their misery. So the next day, Jack got on his foot early before dawn, bringing along his pet cow to the market in the heart of the city. As he entered the citymarket,the atmosphere seems to be very amusing to Jack. Things he never met or seen before got him so excited. In the midst of all the commotion, he finally found the best bargained. The buyer is willing to trade Jack's cow for magical beans that never had Jack seen before. The appearance of the beans inside the woolen sack seem ordinary, but the man assured him that the beans are potently magical so long as he believe it is magical. With amazement, Jack made the deal taking the beans and leaving his poor sad cow to its new owner.

Jack reached home that day, gleefully and ecstatic to unravel what he got from the trade in the market. The mom was so shocked and broken to received not money from his son hands but 5 dull and bleak green beans. Her sons claimed that its magical and that they ougth to believe its like was claimed to be, but she was so devastated to find out that her son was foolishly cheated. She casted the beans outside the window, and fell on her knee with disappointment and remorse of worrying what will she do next to feed herself and he son. Things was to much for her to handle that night so she and her son sleep early that night.

Despite, everything that had happen..the moonlight above the little cottage, illuminated the surrounding dimly. The night was so quiet, wind swirled and hisses, dry leafs on the dusty ground piled in corners of the land. The casted beans remains stationary....claimed to be magical but showed no sign of miracles.

Morning broke into the night, The morning Sun was rising from the far end of the horizon, bird chirping, and bees buzzed to begin their work while butterfly flutters across the garden. The Widow open the window in the morning to greet the day,but she something caught her attention.She rubbed her eyes twice, but behold lies a new tree with large trunk was found formidable in the backyard of their cottage which will leads to a trail of fortune above the soaring sky........


Haha..That's about all I will unfold. Jack and the beanstalk is a classic story which is not only an amusing book for children..but contains valuable lessons if you analyze it well.....Ok, by now you must be asking why on earth am I blogging about this children story...well,let's just say, it was on my head for quite awhile, and i fully understand a few aspects..

I feel in life we are quite similar to how we would react when something similarly like the magical bean is given to us. In desperate situation..are we like the Widow or like Jack...
Who do your resembles from the tale?
