Jack And The Beanstalk Giant's Perspective

This is my Jack and the beanstalk story told in the Giant's perspective.
I hope you enjoy this retelling.



Everyone knows about the story of that cunning Jack and the beanstalk, or you think you know it. If you really think about it, it's like Jack is the wretched villain. That boy just walked into my house and stole all of my prized possessions. And what did I do to him ? Well enough about my opinion, here is the REAL story.

It was an ordinary day, I woke up smelling my beautiful wife's cooking when I smelt the blood of an englishman !

I looked around quickly, but I saw nothing. “fe fi fo fum  I smell the blood of an englishman “ I shouted to my wife. “ It must of been these 20 juicy meat chops “ My wife said in a calm voice. So I had to forget about it and eat the chops. After, I started counting my gold coins to check if anyone had stole any of my coins. But I fell asleep counting them. But surprisingly, when I woke up. They were gone ! I looked everywhere, but that cheeky boy stole them, and what did I do to him ?

After a while, he came back, but this time he was wearing new clothes so my wife did not recognize him. So she hid him.So I woke up and shouted out on top of my lungs “I smell the blood of an englishman ! “. My wife said “ It must be these 20 sausages I cooked for you

This time, I had a goose that would lay golden eggs for me which I took perfect care of. So when I finished eating my breakfast, I took out my goose and told him/her to lay. And he/she layed a beautiful golden egg for me. Then I started drowsing off. That’s when he grabbed my goose and ran. So now my goose is gone and all I have left is my golden harp which sings for me.

Then sometime later, he came back. But this time, He sneaked into my house and hid in the bread basket. “I smell the blood of an english man !” I screamed. “ it must be that that little thief again, he always hides in the oven “ My wife said. But when my wife checked there, he was not there, so me and my wife looked all over the kitchen. But when we were not looking, He jumped out of the breadbox and ran away with the golden harp ! Come on now ! he has stolen my money, my goose and now my golden harp ! now that's just crossing the line. Well on with the story. While he was running away, my harp shouted “ Master, Master, help me please “.

So I chased after the greedy boy with my harp, it was like a cat and mouse chase. Finally he reached the beanstalk and started climbing down as fast as he could and I was so close to catching him. But he bet me and got to the ground faster. The next thing I see his him holding an axe so he could chop down the beanstalk. He chopped down the beanstalk and then BOOM!. And that the end of me.

Now here I am, writing to you from heaven. Now Jack and his wicked mother are wealthy as ever and my poor wife is left to get money for herself, she had to sell our wonderful castle to feed herself. So now my wife is poor and Jack had moved to a mansion. And I am stuck here in heaven, I would have come down to earth and help my wife and help here but I can’t. So join me now and help me to destroy Jack once and for all !

Sleeping beauty narrative

SLEEPING BEAUTY NARRATIVE

This is my retelling of Sleeping Beauty, we had to do this for Book week, hope you enjoy.

Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom. There was a King and a Queen, they just had a new member of the family which was born, it was a cute little baby princess called Sleeping Beauty. There were also 13 fairies who lived in the magical kingdom too. All of the fairies were good, except the 13th one. She had to be the most despicable fairy on earth.

The King was overjoyed by the birth of his brand new baby, he held a marvelous feast at his castle. He invited everyone in the kingdom except the Wicked fairy. After the feast, all of the fairies gave the brand new princess magical gifts, like kindness, beauty and happiness.

When the 11th fairy had gave her gift, the 13th fairy appeared out of no where. “ How dare you not invite me to your feast” the 13th fairy screamed. “ For that, I shall put a spell that on Sleeping Beauty’s 15th birthday, she shall prick her finger, and she will die !” Then she suddenly disappeared. The King and Queen were petrified. But luckily, the 13th fairy forgot that the 12th fairy hadn’t done her blessing yet, so the 12th fairy wished that the curse would be changed and she wouldn’t die. Instead she done a spell where everyone would go to sleep for 100 years or until her true love came and kissed her. After hearing that, the king burned down every spindle in the kingdom, so she would never prick her finger.
