JACK AND THE BEANSTALK

Once upon a time there was a boy called Jack. He lived with his mother.
They were very poor. All they had was a cow. One
morning, Jack’s mother told him to take the cow to the market and
sell her. On the way Jack met a man. He gave Jack some magic
beans for the cow. Jack took the beans and went back home. When
Jack’s mother saw the beans, she was very angry. She threw the
beans out of the window. The next morning, Jack looked out of the
window. There was a giant beanstalk. He went outside and started to
climb the beanstalk. He climbed up to the sky through the clouds.
Jack saw a beautiful castle. He went inside. Jack heard a voice
“Fee-fi-fo-fum!” and ran into a cupboard. An enormous giant came
into the room and sat down. On the table there was a hen and a
golden harp.” Lay” said the giant. The hen laid an egg-it was made of
gold. “Sing” said the giant. The harp began to sing. Soon the giant was asleep. Jack jumped out of the cupboard. He
took the hen and the harp. Suddenly the harp sang “Help, master!”. The giant shouted, “Fee, fi, fo, fum!” Jack ran and
started to climb down the beanstalk. The giant came down after him. Jack shouted
“Mother, help!”. Jack’s mother took an axe and chopped down the beanstalk. The giant fell and crashed to the ground.
Nobody ever saw him again. With the golden eggs and the magic harp Jack and his mother lived happily ever after.

THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER
Once upon a time lived a very poor shoemaker.
He only had enough leather left to make one pair of
shoes.
One night before he went to bed, he cut out the shoes so
he could start work on them the next day.
The next morning, when the shoemaker woke up, he
was amazed to find a beautiful pair of shoes standing
on his table, where he had left the leather.
They were made perfectly!
In fact, the shoes were so beautiful that when someone
came to try them on, they paid twice as much as the
shoemaker asked for them!

THE FROG PRINCE
Once upon a time, there lived a princess who adored objects made
of gold. Her favorite toy in the world was a golden ball.
On hot days, she liked to sit beside an old well in the cool forest,
tossing the ball in the air. One day, the ball slipped from her
fingers into the well, which was so deep that the princess could
not see the bottom.
"Oh dear! I'll never find it!" the princess said, and she began to
cry.
Suddenly, a voice called out from below.
"What's the matter, beautiful princess? Why are you crying?"
The princess looked all around but couldn't see anyone.
"Down here, " said the little voice.
The princess looked down and saw a green frog poking its head
out of the water.
"Oh, it's only you," she said. "If you must know, I'm upset
because my golden ball fell into the well."
"I could get it back for you," said the frog.
"But what will you give me as a reward?"
Whatever you like, frog. How about my pearls and jewels," the
princess suggested? "Or perhaps my golden crown?"
"What would I do with a crown?" said the frog.
"But I'll get your ball if you promise I can be your best friend,
and come for dinner and sleep over at your house."
All right. You can be my best friend," said the princess. But
secretly she thought the frog was talking a whole lot of nonsense.
