Once upon time, there was a boy named Jack. He lived with his mother. They had a cow named White. They were very poor. One day, Jack's mother told him, "Jack, White does not produce milk any more. We have to sell her."
"But, Mum, white is my friend." "Jack, we need money. We must sell her."
Jack was sad, but he had to take White to the market. In the market, a man came to Jack. "Hi, could you sell the cow to me?" the man asked. "How much will you give me?" "I will give you five magic beans for the cow," the man showed Jack the beans. “ Magic beans?" Jack thought these beans were lovely. "They could grow very tall," the man said.
"In that case, there will be many, many beans. And we won't be hungry." so Jack agreed.
Jack went back home. He couldn't wait to show his mother the beans.
" Jack, we need money for food! What can we do with these beans?" his mother was very angry and threw the beans out of the window.
Jack went to bed sadly. He felt that he disappointed both his mother and White.
