Jack and the Beanstalk Summary in Tamil
ஜாக் என்ற சிறுவனும் அவன் அம்மாவும் வறுமையில் வாடினார்கள். ஜாக் தன் பசுமாட்டை விற்க சந்தைக்குப் போனான். வழியில் ஒரு வயதான மனிதர் அவன் மாட்டை வாங்கிக் கொண்டார். பணத்திற்கு பதிலாக ஐந்து மந்திர அவரை விதைகளைத் தந்தார். ஜாக்கின் அம்மா கோபம் அடைந்து, அவரை விதைகளை தூக்கி கீழே ஜன்னலுக்கு வெளியே எறிந்தார். மறுநாள் காலையில், அந்த இடத்தில் பெரிய அவரைக்கொடி மிக உயரமாய் வளர்ந்து சென்றது. ஜாக் அதில் ஏறி ராட்சதனின் கோட்டையை அடைந்தான். ராட்சதனின் பொன்முட்டையிடும் கோழியை எடுத்துக்கொண்டு தப்பித்து விட்டான்.
