[JoCannon]

What was at the top of the beanstalk Jack climbed up? And what happened next?

[mycatis]

The land where the giant lived. Jack stole various things from the giant, golden goose etc giant chased him, Jack cut down beanstalk, so adding criminal damage to his crime spree of trespassing, theft etc

[southportram]

There was a lady giant and she kept feeding Jack, he went back each day and got more food for him and his mum, each day the man giant came home and said "Fee Fi Fo Fum, I smell the blood of an English man, Whether he is alive or Whether he is dead, I'll crush his bones to make my bread" Jack had to hide until the man giant had eaten his tea and then fell to sleep, Jack then crept out and back down the beanstalk. Until one afternoon, Jack got caught and the man giant chased Jack down the beanstalk, but Jack got the bottom of the beanstalk first and chopped it down with an axe, to which the giant came crasshing down and died.

I always thought Jack was a good little boy, my mum obviously tried to protect me from the truth.

jack was a good little boy, mycatis was obviosly told a different version!! see, because jack was poor, the lady giant used to give him food, he didn't steal it! and it wasn't his fault the giant died, he was just trying to protect himself and his mum!

[JoCannon]

So why did he try to steal the golden goose?

[southportram]

i dont remember aa golden goose! maybe it was actually my mum who tried to protect me and i never got told the real stories!!
