📖 Script

Narrator: Once upon a time, there lived a poor boy named Jack 👦 with his mother 👩 in a tiny cottage. They had nothing left but a cow named Milky White 🐄. One day, with a heavy heart, Jack’s mother asked him to sell their only cow to buy food.

Narrator: Jack took the cow to the market. On the way, he met a mysterious man 🧙 who offered five magic beans for Milky White.

🧙 Mysterious Man: “These aren’t just any beans… they’re magical. Trust me.”

Narrator: Jack, excited by the idea of magic, traded the cow and rushed home.

👩 Jack’s Mother: “You did WHAT?! Beans? For a cow?!”

Narrator: Furious, she threw the beans out the window. The next morning, Jack woke up to see a gigantic beanstalk reaching the clouds 🌱☁️.

Narrator: He climbed the beanstalk bravely and found himself in a land above the sky. There, he found a huge castle where a giant 👹 lived with his wife 👩‍🦳.

👩‍🦳 Giant’s Wife: “Hurry, child! If my husband finds you, he’ll eat you!”

Narrator: But Jack was clever. He hid and watched the giant.

👹 Giant: “Fee-fi-fo-fum! I smell the blood of an Englishman!”

Narrator: Jack managed to steal a bag of gold coins and escaped down the beanstalk. He climbed up again the next day and took a magical hen that laid golden eggs 🐔🥚. On the third trip, he grabbed a golden harp 🎵, but the harp shouted!

🎵 Harp: “Master! Help!”

Narrator: The giant roared in anger and chased Jack down the beanstalk. Jack yelled for his mother to bring an axe.

👦 Jack: “Mother! Quick! The axe!”

Narrator: He chopped the beanstalk, and the giant fell with a great crash. BOOM! 🌩️

Narrator: From that day, Jack and his mother lived happily, no longer poor, thanks to the treasures Jack had brought from the sky.
