Jack and the beanstalk Once upon a time there was boy called Jack who lived with his mother. They were poor so Jack took his cow to the market. There he met a stranger. He swapped his cow for five magic beans. When Jack got home his mum was cross. She threw the beans out of the window. The next morning Jack saw a giant beanstalk. He climbed and he climbed, and he climbed. At the top he met a giantess and he hid. “Fee Fi Fo Fum watch out everyone here I come!” roared the giant. He sat down for his supper. He ate 100 boiled potatoes and 100 chocolate biscuits. Then feeling a bit happier he started to count his coins. Soon he was snoozing. Jack snatched the coins and raced down the beanstalk. The next day, Jack climbed and he climbed and he climbed the beanstalk. “Fee Fi Fo Fum watch out everyone here I come!” roared the giant. He sat down for his supper. He ate 200 baked potatoes and 200 jellies. Then feeling a bit happier he got out his hen that laid golden eggs. Soon he was snoozing. Jack snatched the hen and raced down the beanstalk. The next day Jack climbed beanstalk once more. “Fee Fi Fo Fum watch out everyone here I come!” roared the giant. He sat down for his supper. He ate 300 roast potatoes and 300 cream cakes. Then feeling a bit happier he got out his golden harp. Soon he was snoozing. Jack snatched the harp and raced down the beanstalk. The giant woke up and started to chase Jack. Jack’s mother gave him an axe. He chopped and he chopped and he chopped and he didn’t stop until the beanstalk came down. Jack and his mother were never poor again. .

Walking with Giants
Journal of Agricultural Education, 55(1), 1-7. doi: 10.5032/jae.2014.01001 Walking With Giants George W. Wardlow1 Abstract Dr. George W. Wardlow presented the 2013 AAAE Distinguished Lecture at the Annual Meeting of the American Association for Agricultural Education in Columbus, Ohio in May, 2013. While the focus of the article is on the importance of research to the profession, it is intended as a philosophical work. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown (American Bible Society, 1985, p. 6). Every culture from the beginning of human civilization has some reference to “giants” of old, or as Genesis refers to them, “men of renown.” The Bible refers to these individuals as Nephilim, a result of human genetic crosses with angels; and we accept the notion that this did not necessarily result in a positive outcome. In Greek mythology the giants who roamed the Earth were, according to the poet Hesiod, the children of Uranus and Gaea (spirits of the sky and the earth) (“Giants (Greek Mythology),” 2013). Indeed, references are made to “giants” among many cultures of the world. In Native American lore such as Paiute oral history, the Si-Te-Cah or Sai'i are a legendary tribe of red- haired cannibalistic giants (“Giants (Mythology),” 2013). In Norse mythology existed the Jotun, or jötnar in Old Norse (“Jotunn,” 2013). Megalithic construction in South America among Inca and even Aztec legend is, at times, attributed to ancient giants.

All rights reserved. MagicChapter Beans One Once upon a time, there was a poor woman. She lived with her son, Jack. They had a cow named Barky. They sold Barky’s milk at the market to make money. One morning, Barky gave no milk. She had become old. Jack’s mother was worried. Without milk, they would see horrible times. Title: Jack and the Beanstalk Page: 1 “What will we do?” she wondered. “Maybe we should sell Barky. The money could help us buy food,” suggested Jack. “Good idea, Jack. Go to the market, and see how much you could get for her,” she replied. Jack had not gotten very far when his old neighbor, Mr. Bones, approached him. “Hi, Jack,” Mr. Bones said. “Where are you going?” Title: Jack and the Beanstalk Page: 2 “I’m going to the market to sell Barky,” said Jack. “I don’t see a dog,” said Mr. Bones. “Well, I really wanted a dog. But we couldn’t afford one, so I named the cow Barky,” explained Jack. “Interesting. My dog’s name is Moo,” said Mr. Bones. “Is that because you always wanted a cow?” asked Jack. “Yes. In fact, I want your cow. So let’s make a deal. I’ll give you five beans for your cow,” answered Mr. Bones. “I don’t really like beans,” frowned Jack.

KOERNER S HAVES by BUFFALO N Vv
; KOERNER S HAVES BY BUFFALO N Vv ! = \A #1 t : 4 ¢ Jack the Giant=Killer. The Giant Stepped on Jack’s Trap and Fell Headlong into the Pit. [° the days of the renowned King Arthur there lived a Cornishman named Jack, who was famous for his valiant deeds. His bold and warlike spirit showed itself in his boyish days; for Jack took especial delight in listening to the wonderful tales of giants and fairies, and of the extraordinary feats of valor displayed by the knights of King Arthur’s Round Table, which his father would sometimes relate. Jack’s spirit was so fired by these strange accounts, that he determined, if ever he became a man, that he would destroy some of the cruel giants who infested the land. Not many miles from his father’s house there lived, on the top of St. Michael’s Mount, a huge giant, who was the terror of the country round, who was named Cormoran, from his voracious appetite. It is said that he was eighteen feet in height. When he required food, he came down from his castle, and, seizing on the flocks of the poor people, would throw half a dozen oxen over his shoulders, and suspend as many sheep as he could carry, and stalk back to his castle. He had carried on these depredations many years ; and the poor Cornish people were well-nigh ruined. Jack went by night to the foot of the mount and dug a very deep pit, which he covered with sticks and straw, and over which he strewed the earth.

Giants: Legends & Lore of Goliaths
PERHAPS MYTHOLOGY CONTAINS MORE TRUTH THAN WE REALIZE! The word “myth” has come to mean “fiction” in our minds, and so some people take Bible accounts, Aesop’s fables, and Greek myths and place them all in the same category. But what if some of the old legends are true? Rather than dismiss these narratives, perhaps we should investigate them. In this case, the world is filled with giant legends that speak of heroes and wars. In this highly engaging book of giants you will discover ? Unique glimpses into the ancient accounts of giants from around the world @ What does the Bible say about giants? ? Full-color artistry developed in an interactive format with fold outs and flaps, booklets, and more! @ A spectacular center spread stretching 4-feet across! It is fascinating that the ancient world agreed on many aspects of the Martin Bible, one of these being that early in the history of mankind, a race of violent, yet intelligent giants walked the earth, were destroyed by the Flood. Through historical records, the pre-Flood and post-Flood worlds are reconstructed, with giants re-emerging in and around Israel, and you’ll see one more reason that the Bible can be trusted.

Volume One: Arthur and the History of Jack and the Giants
The Arthuriad – Volume One CONTENTS ARTICLE 1 Jack & Arthur: An Introduction to Jack the Giant-Killer DOCUMENTS 5 The History of Jack and the Giants (1787) 19 The 1711 Text of The History of Jack and the Giants 27 Jack the Giant Killer: a c. 1820 Penny Book 32 Some Arthurian Giant-Killings Jack & Arthur: An Introduction to Jack the Giant-Killer Caitlin R. Green The tale of Jack the Giant-Killer is one that has held considerable fascination for English readers. The combination of gruesome violence, fantastic heroism and low cunning that the dispatch of each giant involves gained the tale numerous fans in the eighteenth century, including Dr Johnson and Henry Fielding.1 It did, indeed, inspire both a farce2 and a ‘musical entertainment’3 in the middle of that century. However, despite this popularity the actual genesis of Jack and his tale remains somewhat obscure. The present collection of source materials is provided as an accompaniment to my own study of the origins of The History of Jack and the Giants and its place within the wider Arthurian legend, published as ‘Tom Thumb and Jack the Giant-Killer: Two Arthurian Fairy Tales?’, Folklore, 118.2 (2007), pp. 123-40. The curious thing about Jack is that – in contrast to that other fairy-tale contemporary of King Arthur’s, Tom Thumb – there is no trace of him to be found before the early eighteenth century. The first reference to him comes in 1708 and the earliest known (now lost) chapbook to have told of his deeds was dated 1711.4 He does not appear in Thackeray’s catalogue of chapbooks
