A Tale of Magic Beans
It was a dismal eve when Jack returned home from the market after buying seeds from a vile looking character. “Jack!, Where’s that bread!” Jack’s mom screamed.” “What the heck are these?” “Beans, magic beans” Jack replied sullenly. “Stupid, useless wretch!” His mother exclaimed as she lashed out at Jack. “I hate you!” Jack yelled as he ran out the door.” “I am never coming back, never!” he screamed. Jack ran away from the house past the market and into the woods. It was midnight by the time Jack stopped running and he looked around. The putrid smell of the damp rotting wood covered with moss was overpowering. The woods were eerily silent, but for the raspy winds that were Jack’s only companions that night. Alone and exhausted Jack decided to stop here and sleep. But before sleep could come Jack withdrew the accursed seeds and threw them at his feet and spat at them for his undeserved misfortunes. Jack woke the next morning with only a clump of dirt as a pillow and the mist as his moist blanket. As he tried to decide what his next course of action was to be he looked over in to the clearing. To his disbelief where the beans had been was a giant beanstalk. As Jack walked towards it he followed it with his eyes all the way up into the clouds. Jack decided to climb up the bean stalk to get a better view. As he neared the clouds he decided to see how tall the bean stalk was. As he emerged from the clouds he noticed a dark and sinister castle sitting on top of the clouds. As he moved towards it he noticed how immense it was. He walked up to the huge door with the grotesque gargoyle door knocker. He grabbed the huge knocker and slowly heaved the heavy door open. Jack slowly entered the castle and moved down the hall while staying in the shadows.
