Jack's Controversie: A Narrative Fiction
Once upon a time, in a village far from others, where the grass was the greenest you’ll ever see, there was a house with four people taking up residence, there breathed an old widow with her triplets; a boy named Jack, and a girl named Josie, and another girl named Jill. In the afternoons, as always, Jack would be found in the meager field with Milky-White, his prized cow, Josie would be helping her mother with indoor chores, and Jill would be doing the outside chores. One afternoon, Jack came in the house with his milking pail, but it was unfilled.
“Milky-White isn't milkin’ anymore.” He stated, clearly upset.
“Well, then go to the market with your sisters and sell ‘er,”Their mom spoke, plainly.
“For how much?

“What are you doing, Jack?” Jill questioned confused.
“Climbing,” He simply answered.
“What if you fall?” Jill asked, curious for her brother’s safety.
“I won’t,” was all Jack said before taking another step, then another, then another, and so on. Jack was so far up the beanstalk, Jill looked like a speck! He took a life-threatening leap and landed on a yard; a humongous yard! The blades of grass were huge, sharp, knifes ready for something to slice. The mushroom placed by Jack was bigger than any umbrella he ever had. Jack looked up at the house, which could fit a giant through the front door!
Wait a minute! Jack thought. If that door could fit a giant through it, it must be a giant’s house! They must have food! If I'm not their food. With his heart hammering in his rib cage, he scrambled to the door. He knocked twice. An ogress opened up the door.
“Hello?” She called.
“Down here!” Jack yelled. The ogre lady looked down on him. She squinted and then smiled.
“Hello there. What are you doing up here?” She asked.
“Please let me inside ma’am. I haven't had anything to eat. I found your beanstalk and I climbed it. Please, I'm starving!” Jack

He caught up to them in no time.
“Quick! It’s only a ten foot drop! Climb down fast and drop the last 4 feet!” Jack yelled as the wind picked up. The beanstalk started to shake. “Go now!” He yelled. They climbed down even faster. Once they were close enough, Jill dropped onto the ground, fell on her rear, and scurried away. Josie did the same. Once Jack got close enough, he dropped onto the ground.
“Get me an axe!” He yelled at his sisters. They ran off and came back with Jack’s rusty axe in their hands. Jack took a swing and the blade sliced through only half a foot. The ogre roared above. Jack swung again and again, using all his muscles. He swung one final swing and the beanstalk quaked, shaker, and started to topple over. The ogre started to howl. The ogre started to fall and the beanstalk came down after it. It had passed, Jack was certain. After a year, Jack’s family became the richest family in their village and the surrounding villages!
Jill and Josie both married wealthy, young princes, their mother married again and was happy, and Jack married a princess and soon became a king. They all lived happily ever

    He comes to a small village where a man tells him that he has a grist mill but no time to work it. Before he offers Jack the job, he informs Jack that every other hired hand mysteriously perished on the first night of work. The grist mill owner shares his suspicions that the previous workers were poisoned. Jack asks to take a look at the mill, and agrees to take the job. In some renderings, Jack already has a little silver blade knife that was given to him by his father, or obtained from a traveling stranger after an act of kindness from Jack. In others, the stranger appears at the mill as the sun is setting and Jack obligingly starts the mill to grind the stranger’s corn even though it is past work hours. In all cases, Jack’s kindness to an elderly person result in the silver knife being in his possession. After the sun has set, Jack sits down to his dinner, which in some variations is a soup that he prepares himself and in others is a plate of dinner provided by the miller’s wife. But in all versions, a black cat appears and tries to put its paw into the food. Jack refuses to allow the cat to touch his food, and the cat always speaks “Sop Doll.” “Doll” is interpreted as a slang for a paw, or foot and the cat is asking to dip or ‘sop’ its paw in Jack’s food. Jack refuses, and the cat persists in asking to dip its paw…
