Saifuddien and the Beanstalk- Part One

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Saifuddien. He lived with his mother. They were very poor. They had no money, and they had no food. The only they had was one cow.

One day, her mother called Saifuddien and said "Can you bring our cow to the market and sell her? Then, bring the money back to me"

Saifuddien took the cow to the market for sale. On his way to the market, he met a man who wanted to buy his cow.

"I don't have money, but I have something better than money" said the man. "What is it, Hajji?" asked Saifuddien. "Here, five magic beans". Saifuddien was very curious. He agreed to sell the cow for the five magic beans.

When Saifuddien got home, he excitedly showed the beans to his mother. His mother was very angry. "I told you to get some money, not beans. These beans are no good for us" said his mother. "But these beans are magic" said Saifuddien. His mother did not listen to Saifuddien. She threw the beans out of the window.

The next morning, when Saifuddien woke up, he  was very shocked to see a very tall and big beanstalk out of his window. "I wanted to climbed to the top" said Saifuddien. When he started to climb, his mother saw him and tried to stop him but Saifuddien did not listen to his mother.

At the top of the beanstalk, he was very excited. "Whoaa... I reached the sky!". He saw a giant castle with a giant door. He decided to open the door.

He saw a giant woman inside of the castle. She was very kind. "Be careful small boy, my husband likes to eat small boy" she warned Saifuddien.

Suddenly, they heard a loud noise.

"Fee, fi, fo, fum. Watch out everybody. Here I come!" the giant appeared.

The giant woman quickly hid Saifuddien in the cupboard.

"I smelt the blood of a small boy. I want to eat him!" said the giant. "Oh dear, there are no small boy in this house. It must be your imagination" said the giant woman.

Then, the giant sat down and took out his money. He started to count his money. Soon, he fell asleep.

Saifuddien, who watched the giant, silently sneaked out from the cupboard and took all the money. Then, he climbed down the beanstalk and gave the money to his mother. She was very happy.

One day, there was not much money left. Saifuddien decided to climb the beanstalk again.
