Soal Teks Narrative Legend 11


Once upon a time there was a poor widow who had an only son named Jack. They were so poor that they didn’t have anything except a cow. When the cow had
grown too old, his mother sent Jack to the market to sell it. On the way to the market, Jack met a butcher who had some beautiful beans in his hand. The butcher
told the boy that the beans were of great value and persuaded the silly lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them, happily. When he told his mother about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the beans out of the window. When Jack woke up in
the morning, he felt the sun shining into a pan of his room, but all the rest was quite dark and shady. So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The
beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window. He opened the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just like a big ladder
He climbed and climbed till at last he reached the sky. While looking around, he saw a very huge castle. He was very amazed. Then Jack walked along the path
leading to the castle. There was a big tail woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted her and asked for the giantess mercy to give him breakfast, because he fell very
hungry. Although the giantess grumbled at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese and a jug of milk.
Jack hadn’t finished when the whole house began to tremble with the noise of someone’s coming. “Oh! It’s my husband!” cried the giantess. “What on earth
shall I do?” Hastily the giantess opened a very big cupboard and hid Jack there.
