Jack and Beanstalk script

Once upon a time, a little boy and his mother lived in a very small house on a poor little farm. Jack’s mother kept their little house neat and clean. Jack worked very hard in his garden, but nothing grew. The only thing they had left was the family cow. Jack’s mother told him to sell the cow for money to buy food. Jack traded the cow for a little of magic beans. Jack’s mother was very unhappy with the beans and threw them out the window. During the night, the beans grew into a giant beanstalk. The next morning, Jack was very surprised and climbed the beanstalk. At top of the beanstalk was a castle. It was the home of a giant. Jack met the giant wife and she was very nice to him. She hid Jack in the closet when the giant came home for supper. “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman!” shouted the giant. “It’s your supper that you smell,” said the giant’s wife. He called for the golden bird that laid the golden eggs and began to hammer into coin. After supper, his magic harp played beautiful music and soon he was asleep. Jack climbed on the table and grabbed the golden bird into a bag. The bird struggled and squawked. Giant waked up and chased after Jack. “Be you live or be you dead, I’ll grind your bones to bake my bread.” Jack ran down the beanstalk as fast as he could. The giant was coming down too, but not as fast as he could. Near the ground, Jack began to yell, “Mother, Mother! Get the axe, quick. Get the axe, Mother!” As soon as Jack reached the ground, he grabbed the axe, and began to cut the base of the beanstalk. He chopped far enough into the beanstalk that it began to fall down. Up above the giant’s screamed and fell through the air. The giant fell to his death. Jack gave his mother the golden bird and they lived happily ever after.
