This story is about a widow woman, her son Jack and the beanstalk.
Jack and his mother were very poor and they barely had money to feed themselves. Every day Jack would help his mother with the chores like weeding the garden, milking the cow, etc.
One spring day, the mother said to Jack, "We don't have money to buy the seeds for the farm this year. We have to sell our cow so that we can buy enough seeds to plant."
