Summary

This is a story about a young, poor boy named Jack that lives with his widowed mother and a dairy cow, on a cottage farm. The cow's milk is their only source of income. When the cow stops giving milk, Jack's mother tells him to take her to the market to be sold. On the way, Jack meets a bean dealer who offers magic beans in exchange for the cow--and Jack makes the trade. There are consequences to Jack's decision. Kids will love the retelling of this classic fairy tale!
