Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack.
They were so poor that they didn’t have anything except a cow. When the cow had
grown too old, his mother sent Jack to he market to sellit. On the way to the
market, jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans in his hand. The
butcher told the boy that the beans were of great value and persuaded the silly
lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he
told his mother about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans
out of the window.
When jack woke up in the morning, he
felt the sun shining into a part of his room, but all the rest was quite dark
and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did
he see ? The beabstalk grew up quite close past, Jack’s window. He opened the
window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up like a big ladder.
He climbed... and climbed till at last he reached the sky.
While looking around, he saw a very huge castle. He was very amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path
leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted
her and asked for the giantees, mecy to give him breakfast, because he felt
very hungry. Although the giantees grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a
hunk of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn’t finished when the whole
house began to tremble with the noise of someone’s coming.” Oh ! It’s my
husband !” cried the giantees.” What’s on earth shall I do ?”. Hastily the
giantees opened a very big cupboard and hid Jack there.

The Ducks and the
Turtle
Two ducks who lived in a big lake had a friend who was a turtle. One
year there was a very little rain and the lake began to dry up. One of the
ducks said to the other, ”Soon there’ll be no water in this lake .Let’s go and
look for another lake. “ Yes, answered the second duck, but first let’s say goodbye to our
friend, the turtle,”
When they told the turtle they were going to leave, he said,” I’ll die
here without any water and without any friends. Take me with you. ”The ducks
answered ,”We can’t. We are going to fly, and you have no wings.” The turtle
thought for a minute and then said,” Please wait here.” Then he went away
and found a strong, straight stick.
He brought it back to his friends, put the middle of it
in his mouth and said, ”Now if each of you takes me one end of the stick in his mouth, you can
lift me up and carry me with you.”
“There is
one danger,” said the ducks,” If you try to talk while we’re carrying you
through the air, you won’t be able to
hold the stick, so you’ll fall down along
way and break your shell.”
“All right,” answered the turtle, ”I promise not to talk while
we’re in the air. So the ducks took the
stick and flew away, with the turtle between them. All went well until the were
flying over a town. Then some people saw them and shouted, ”Look, those ducks
are carrying a cat!”
The
turtle got very angry, “ A cat? I’m not …….”he said, but he did not get any
further, because when he opened his mouth, the stick came out of his mouth and
the poor turtle fell to the ground.
