Jack and the Beanstalk story from the giants perspective

Hello I’m Matthew, but I go by the name, Matt.  Do you know the story of Jack and the Beanstalk ?  If you do, then you will know that I am portrayed as the mean giant.  Well, that story is dramatically INCORRECT!! I’m here to tell you the REAL story of Jack and the Beanstalk. 

One lovely day, I was singing my favourite song, “ Fe, fi fo, fum, I have a prickle in my bum”. My wife had just made fresh chocolate chip cookies which were very delectable, but as I was eating them I got distracted by the wonderful smell of a young boy. I absolutely love young adorable, cute kids.  For a second, I thought that I could hear someone talking in the other room but I later realised no one was there.

After devouring my cookies, I decided to go to the living room. But as I walked closer to the room, the scent of the boy got stronger but there was no boy in sight.  “Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum ! I smell the blood of an Englishman , I smell a boy here did you see one?” 

My wife replied, “I would tell you if I saw one, dear.” 

“OK” I said unconvinced.  I then decided to go to my room for a long, peaceful nap.

 While I was talking to my wife, I later realised that she did not seem like herself but I knew she wasn’t lying as I trust her completely. Anyways, I wouldn't mind if there were children in my house, my wife and I would love the company. After a while I dozed off. 

When I woke up later in the day, I walked back to my wife who was in the living room watching her favourite show like it was an addiction. She nervously told me that we’d been robbed, by a cheeky boy who came in our residence.  She had given him some popcorn , then had gone into the kitchen to fetch some water but when she got back he was GONE!! And so was our precious gold. “I am so sorry I should’ve  told you we had company.” 

“Yes you should’ve told me,” I said angrily. “I forgive you but next time please tell me.”  We never talked about this again until I found out we got robbed AGAIN!!!!

 This time I was shocked!! But my wife told me that she would tell me if an intruder came in but obviously she did not want to tell me. I was extremely upset when my golden hen that laid golden eggs was stolen!! The hen was one of my prized possessions. I wondered if it was the same thief as last time. My wife had surely seen him, but maybe he tricked her. But let me tell you, he made my wife cross.  She was like a raging lion!! She was that cross!  If the boy came back, I can assure you he would not leave without giving me an apology.

Now I said I was a gentle giant but when someone steals my magic hen and my gold they are in for some trouble. That was just it. The boy did not come back for quite a while as he was enjoying his life again with his mother. Together they would walk through  the forest, thinking about what they should do with the money they now have. 

While in my room the next day, I decided  to play my golden harp as it relaxes me. After a while, I dozed off while my lovely harp continued to play like it always does. While I was sleeping, I heard  a loud screeching sound . It was my harp yelling “Master save me! Don't let him take me.”

“ Fee, fi, fo, fum the boy is back”. I now knew that boy was trying to steal my harp and I wouldn't let him get away.  I started running after the young boy and I chased him until he got to the beanstalk. As he arrived at the stalk, he dropped the harp and slid down it.  When he was down, he fetched an axe. All at once he chopped down the beanstalk and I fell to the ground. They both thought I was DEAD but I can assure you I wasn’t!  I just didn’t want him to come and haunt me again.

See I told you I was a nice and not cruel giant even though I got mad when he stole my stuff. Now go and tell this to the world and see if they believe me now!!
