Jack and The beanstalk
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 the market to sell it. 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.
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 beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window. He
opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just 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 Jacked walked along the
path leading to the castle. There was a big tall woman on the doorstep. Jack
greeted her and asked for the giantess’ mercy to give him breakfast, because he
felt very hungry. Although the giantess 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 from someone’s coming.
“Oh! It’s my husband!’ cried the giantess. “What on earth shall I do?”
Hesitantly the giantess opened
a very big cupboard and hid Jack there.

Once, a cap seller was passing through a jungle.
He was dead tired and needed to rest. Then, he stopped and spread a cloth under
a tree. He placed his bag full of caps bear him and lay down with his cap on
his head.
The cap seller had a sound sleep for one
hour. When he got up, the first thing he did was to
look into his bag. He was startled when he found all his caps were not
there. He was wondering where they could have gone. Indeed, he was greatly
puzzled.
When he looked up the sky, he was very
surprised to see monkeys sitting on the branches of a
tree, each wearing a cap on his head. They had evidently done it to imitate
him.
He decided to get his caps back by making a
humble request to the monkeys. In return, the monkeys only made faces of him.
When he began to make gestures, even when he raised his fist towards them to
threaten them, they also imitated him.
At last he hit upon a clever idea. “Monkeys
are a great imitator,” he thought. So he took off his own cap and threw it down on the
