The fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk is believed to originate in the 1700s. The story tells the tale of young Jack trading his family cow for magic beans. After planting the beans, he climbs the beanstalk and comes face to face with the giant. Jack is able to get away by chopping down the beanstalk.
