Narrative text Jack and the beanstalk + Jawaban


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.
