Hi kids! It's Cool School's Story Time.
Ms. Booksy here. Is everybody ready?
KIDS: Yeah
Hm, you don't sound ready...
I said, is everybody ready?
KIDS: YEAH!!
Great!
Today's story is
Jack and the Beanstalk
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Jack.
So Jackie, that's me,
I live with my mom
To make a living, we had a cow, who's milk we sold for money.
Let's just say... we weren't rich.
One day, Bessie stopped making milk!
She was an old cow, ready for retirement.
Maybe she wanted to move to Florida, she had some friends down there.
Filling their milk-bucket list.
Ma told me,
We would have to sell Bessie!
We had no choice.
So the next day, I led my dear old friend, Bessie, to the town square...
On the way there, we ran into an old wolf who told me he'd LOVE to take Bessie.
May I offer an INTERESTING trade for your bovine friend there?
No sir... I-i need to sell her.
Okaaaay...
I guess you don't want these...
magic beans!
What kind of beans?
Cuz I don't like lima beans, or pinto beans--
I said MAGIC beans, kid.
They're magic and they're worth more than you're ever gonna get for that old, dried up cow.
If you're not interesting in these very valuable,
very MAGICAL,
EXOTIC and definitely totally real beans
I'll find someone else--
I'll take them!
Wooow.
With MAGIC beans, I could....
I could...
KIDS: Whaaat?
Oh no!
I didn't ask how they worked!
Oh, man!
I got home, and hoped my mom would forget all about the selling-Bessie thing.
I would just play it cool.
Yeah...
There's no such thing as magic!!!
She was right...
What were we supposed to do with 3 little beans?
I tossed the beans out the window,
and headed up to bed.
But that night, something amazing
dare I say MAGICAL happened...
A giant beanstalk had grown outside our window!
What else do you do when you see a giant beanstalk?
You climb it, duh!
Woo-hoo!
At the very tip top,
just above the clouds,
I saw a yard, and a house!
a BIG house!
I was HUNGRY for breakfast,
And I figured a big house like THAT would have some really BIG snacks!
No puny fun-sized candy bars here!
I let myself into the giant house,
Gosh, who lived here??
A whole NBA team?
There was a maid inside, she was normal-sized.
What was SHE doing in such a giant house?
I'll give you some table scraps, and then off with ya!
She gave me a bit of bread,
it looked like a BIG crumb!
Like a crumb from a GIANT sandwich!
I stuffed the big breadcrumb into my knapsack,
and just as I was about to leave, I heard:
Feee fi fo fimmer!!
I think I smell my dinner!!!
I hid! And I saw the most giantest giant come in!
Ruh roh! Was I for dinner??
Also, not to nitpick, but it's technically breakfast time.
But back to the issue at hand.
There was a GIANT!
He started to count a bunch of gold coins.
He must've had a million...
Nay,
a jillion.
I waited until the Giant got up to go to the bathroom
to take a GIANT bath!
I grabbed a sack of gold, and hi-tailed it to the beanstalk.
Listen, I know stealing is wrong,
but I thought that MAYBE it would be ok because he had SO many coins!
He wouldn't mind.
So I showed my mother...
Young lady!
You march back up there and give that man his gold!
There's no such things as GIANTS...
So the next day, I went back up the beanstalk,
I decided I would just leave the coins by the doorstep.
Then I saw the strangest thing!
A golden goose that was laying golden eggs!
Ma would never believe this,
So I took a picture, with my iPhone.
She'd HAVE to believe me now! Ah ha ha ha ha!
I picked up one egg to get a few shots with me holding it.
And then,
the goose started HONKING.
Like a traffic jam!
I had to scoot... Oh boy!
Then I heard--
Feee fiiii foooo foos!
Who the heck is botherin' me goose?
I had to get outta there. Why was I messing around on a giant's turf??
I ran for it, and skedaddled down the stalk!
Unfortunately, I still had the egg. Ugh!
Blarg! My mom saw it, and told me to return it...
There's no such thing as a golden goose!
That egg is just a decoration.
I've seen one just like it at Macy's
But I had an iPhone photo. Grrr!
So UP, I went...
I was just going to set down the egg and leave. Simple as that!
But then, I saw the coolest treasure EVER!
A golden guitar!
It started playing itself!
Cool!
Wait a second, I recognize this guitar!
I had seen a TV-news story about Professor
a nice but strange scientists/professor guy who lived in our town,
He had made a golden guitar as a gift for the mayor.
It was on the news because it had been stolen!
Wait a second... I'm not a thief.
The Giant's the thief!
I was just gonna leave and call the police
but the guitar started playing again!
Loud, ugh!....
Darn rock 'n' roll!!
I ran, like a cheetah!!
The Giant! He's trying to chase me!!
Ah!! He followed me right down the beanstalk!
And that silly guitar was still twanging, and rifting, and totally shredding!!
My mom and some other townsfolk heard the racked and gathered 'round the beanstalk.
And then my mom, one of the most sweetest, nicest, gentlest ladies in the world
She started chopping down the stalk with an ax!
Wait til I get down there, ma!
I got close to the bottom and jumped.
Just as she yelled:
Tiiiimbeeeeer!
And thud. The Giant fell,
I told the townspeople about the stolen treasure up the beanstalk.
The police arrested the Giant,
And the firemen extended their ladders ALL the way up to the sky
to go get the rest of the gold stuff.
They mayor gave me a reward
and we used it to buy a new cow!
And my mom FINALLY believed me that giants, golden ducks, and magic DO exist.
It was a happy ending...
And that's the end!
