Scene 1: Jack's House.
Mother
There's a hole in my blouse.
I'm in need of a grouse!
The floor is now souse.
And there's a mouse in my house.
Mouse
Squeak!
Mother
Eek!
Mouse
Squeek!!
Mother
Eeeek!!
Wake up my son. Come here, quick.
This isn't fun! And, bring a broomstick!
Mouse
Squeak!
Mother
Ack!
Mouse
Squeak!
Mother
Jaaack!
Hurry up now, son. Come take a peek!
This mouse is big!
Mouse
Squeeeeeak!
Mother
Goodness, gosh I'm scared of it.
I am sure to yell and throw a fit!
Jack
Mother, should I take the mouse,
Outside of our quaint house?
Mother
Yes, my son. That would help!
I'm am about to let out a yelp!
Jack
Hit the mouse, I shall not do.
It's fine standing there; by your...
Mother
Shoo-oooo!!!!
Jack, my son, go in the house,
We must rid ourselves of this little mouse.
Go inside and get the broom!
It's right outside of your little bedroom.
Jack
Mother, I will take the mouse away,
And in our house, he'll no longer stay.
Mother
Jack, don't wait! Get on with it!
Go on now! I'm ready to sit!!
Jack
Hello there, you nice, little mouse.
I know that you like our quaint, little house.
But it's far too small - too tiny for us.
Please go out, so there's not a fuss!
Mouse
Squack.
Mother
Don't come back!
Mouse
Squack!
Mother
Jack!
Jack
I have an idea for the mouse to go.
This is really good. I'm smart.
Mother
I know.
Jack
We'll play hide 'n go, hide 'n go - hide and go seek!
Mouse
Squeek!?
Mother
Don't speak!
Jack
I'll count to ten,
Again and again.
And then,
You will hide,
And then hide,
And then hide,
And then...
I'll seek!
Mouse
Squeek?
Jack
I won't peek!
Mouse
Squeek!
Jack
Go find a spot, while I count one to ten.
1 to 3, 4 to 6, 7 to 9 and then, 10!
Mother
Keep doing this Jack. You do have a knack. I am going on in...
Jack
Are you ready, my friend, to do it again?
Oh, please do not worry, it's alright to speak.
Mouse
Squeek?!
Jack
That squeek was quite peak!
This time though, from 10 down to 1.
Tell me mouse, are you having fun?
Mouse
Squeek!! Squeek!!!
Jack
It's not my turn. I can't yet seek! Once again, go hide from me. And then we will see if I find thee!!! 1 to 5 and 6 to 10. Your hiding time is at an end. Now's it's time for me to seek!
Mother
Where is that mouse? I'll make it squeek!!!
Jack
Mother, no!
Mother
It has to go! There you are, you little pest! You certainly have a large fill of zest! I'm gonna get you!
Mouse
Squeek!
Mother
Shoo!
Jack
Goodbye little mouse. Be safe. Have fun!
Mother
Away from my house, mouse! Run!
Jack
I'm done. So, mother can I get back into bed?
Mother
Jack sell the cow and then rest your head.
Jack
What do you mean? Our Bessie's divine!
Mother
We're much too lean, Jack. Sell the bovine!
Jack
Bessie's my pet, my friend and my pal. She's good and kind and a cow of a gal... gal of a cow is what I should have said. Please, oh please; I don't have to be fed!
Mother
For you, my son to eat and to grow, Bessie the cow has now got to go. Now, off to the market and find us a buyer, while I go inside for my feet to retire.
Jack
I'm sorry, mother. I don't mean to argue. I'll go sell Bessie for two plus two.
Mother
SIX pieces of gold for Bessie, the cow. Stay 'til she's sold. Go quickly now.
Jack
I'll walk for miles to do what you ask. I'll be back soon, after doing my task.
Scene 2: On to the Market
Jack
Bessie, my cow, please forgive me now. For all will be well, but only if I go to the market and sell - you to a buyer...
Bessie
Moo? (Who?)
Jack
You. Now don't be a crier.
Bessie
Mop muttin' mool! (Stop cuttin' fool!)
Jack
I don't mean to be cruel, but this may be the end for you and me. You see...
Bessie
Mack, mah ma moo mahming muhmout? (Jack, what are you talking about?)
Jack
You, I'm afraid, have got to get out. Mother told me a short bit ago that Bessie, the cow has got to go! That's you.
Bessie
Moo moo... (Boo hoo...)
Jack
Yes, my friend, we have to go now. Gather your things, but do raise your brow. We'll still be friends... (aside) though I don't know how. She'll no longer be my gal of a cow.
Bessie
My meard mat! (I heard that!)
Jack
(Aside) I really must learn how I should chat.
Bessie
My mot moe-ing. Mime monna mun amay. (I'm not going. I'm gonna run away.)
Jack
Bessie, don't run away, stay!!!
Bessie
Mih-me? O-may! (Really? Okay!)
Jack
I mean stay right there, but we still have to go. I do have to sell you so mother won't crow. Watch out...!!! You're about... to...!!! Oh, foo! Bessie, why did you step in the mud?
Bessie
Momee, my muhzen mooking. My muhz mooin' my mud. (Sorry, I wasn't looking, I was chewing some cud.)
Jack
Oh my goodness, how? How now, brown cow?
Bessie
Moo meemee maf moo mell me? (You really have to sell me?)
Jack
Mes! I mean, yes! I have to get six pieces of gold, see. At least that's what mother told me.
Bessie
My me...! Mats mall mime mirth?!!! Moo moo! Moo moo-moo!!! (I see...! That's all I'm worth?!! Boo hoo! Boo hoo-hoo!!!)
Jack
Bessie, we've got to go.
Bessie
Mack, my moe... mime monna me muh "Mest Men Moe!" (Jack, I know... I'm gonna be the "Best In Show!")
Jack
Then on to the market we go.
Scene 3: The Bean Lady
Bean Lady
Little boy with cow-friend, come to me, if you please. I can make your troubles end, and then you can go home with ease.
Jack
Little old lady, tell me please; just how can I go home with ease? I have to go to the market today to sell my cow - my friend...
Bean Lady
I say, Jack; my boy, do not linger. Sell the cow to me. You'll soon not have to lift a finger. I'm honest. You soon will see.
Jack
(Aside) I know not why, but I do believe that this old lady does not deceive. Even though I'm very blue, yes, I'll sell my cow to you. Gold is what you'll need to give to me, for us to eat and live.
Bean Lady
Jack... gold is not what you will lack. If you're not rich by tomorrow's end, come back to me, your new-found friend. Then I'll refund, to you, your cow, but beans are what you need, for now.
Jack
Oh?
Bean Lady
So... here's one for good faith and one for your heart and this one's for a brand new start. Here's one for you and here's one other. This last one here; it's for your mother.
Jack
But beans are not what I should get for Bessie, my cow - my only pet. Early this morning, my mother said that we need gold to live and be fed.
Bean Lady
These beans are full of wealth, my dear. You'll soon have gold up to your ear.
Jack
For some reason, i still believe that you are honest and do not deceive. So, Bessie, my friend will soon be sold and we will receive a whole lot of gold.
Bean Lady
Jack... Put the beans there, in that sack.
Jack
Where?
Bean Lady
There... the sack... right there Jack. The sack... the sack on your back.
Jack
Oh!! This sack on my back. It's called a knapsack.
Bean Lady
Thank you Jack for that information, but do beware of the beans' inflation.
Jack
Beware of the beans' inflation? (Aside) This lady has a big imagination!
Bean Lady
Jack, now please, pass her to me.
Jack
Alright. Here is she.
Bean Lady
Now that we have made the trade, you mustn't be anymore delayed.
Jack
I know. I'll go. I just want to say bye.
Bean Lady
Alright Jack. Don't make me cry.
Jack
Bessie, I'm sorry that you have to go. Though, I'm sure that there will be a day that we'll meet again...
Bean Lady
I say. Jack? Have a hanky handy in that knapsack.
Jack
I'm sorry. I don't. Bessie, I won't... ever forget the fun times that we've had. Goodness, I'm so very sad! I'm gonna miss you!
Bessie
Mime monna miss moo moo!
Bean Lady
Boo ... hoo!
Bessie
Moo... ...
Jack
My Messie.
Bessie
My Mack!
Bean Lady
We've got to part now, Bessie - Jack.
Jack
Thank you much for buying my cow. I'm going home to mother now.
Bean Lady
You're very welcome and please remember: tomorrow's word for you is 'timber!"
Jack
"Timber" is tomorrow's word. "Timber" is the word I heard.
Bean Lady
(Aside) That boy, there, has such a big heart and really is so very smart. I hope he remembers his word of the day. Otherwise, I'll have to find another way.
Bessie
Moo moo mave may mawn more me? (Do you have a lawn for me?)
Bean Lady
Why yes, Bessie. I certainly do. Come with me to your home, anew.

Scene 4: Jack's back!
Jack
I'm back mother, come out and see. I sold Bessie for three plus three.
Mother
Son? Jack? I'm glad you're back. Alas and alack, what's in your knapsack?
Jack
Be patient mother and close your eyes. Close them now. I have a surprise.
Mother
Oh, I like surprises. I can't hardly wait. Go on now. Don't hesitate.
Jack
Here's one for good-faith and one for your heart. This one's for a brand new start! Here's one for you and here's one other. This last one is for you - my mother.
Mother
You got six my son! A job well done!
Jack
Keep your eyes closed and I will tell what happened today at Bessie's farewell.
Mother
Alright son, I'll do as you say. Tell me now. Don't keep me at bay.
Jack
Just like you asked, Bessie was sold. Sold to a lady that truly fore-told. Fore-told of a future that was filled with gold. And what she gave - was really quite bold.
Mother
I don't understand. What's in my hand?
Jack
Gold is not what she gave to me. See for yourself, while I step away - from thee.
Mother
Beans! ... Jack!!!
Jack
Ahh! Ack!
Mother
Stop! Jack! Get - back - here.
Jack
Oh dear!
Mother
Don't worry, my son, I haven't the air. I'm going inside now, if you care. Tonight, Jack, I must get some sleep. Maybe I'll dream of how to keep - our land - our house - and get something to eat! Jack, you cannot believe everyone that you meet! I'm going inside now to rest my feet! From all this - excitement - I'm beat!
Jack
Do go inside and please get well. If you don't mind, I think I'll go to Jill to tell her everything that happened today. Can I go mother? What do you say?
Mother
Jack, you may go now, but only if you hurry. Be back soon though, so that I won't worry.
Jack
Oh, thank you mother! I'll see you soon! I'll be back, quick! Before the moon!
Scene 5: Jack's friend, Jill
Jill's Mother
Jill, you know you're my favorite daughter. So Jill, go fill this pale with water.
Jill
But mom... I'm kind of om...
Jill's Mother
Yes, I know you're my only daughter. So you will get up and get the water.
Jill
Mother, I'll go, so that's enough! Goodness. Golly, my mother is tough!
Jill's Mother
Jill will be fast and so very quick and if it gets dark, here's a candlestick.
Jill
I'm going. I'm going. There's no need for crowing.
Jill's Mother
Don't forget a match - and don't forget to latch...
Jack
Hello Jill and how are you?
Jill
Hi Jack. To be honest, I am quite blue.
Jack
What do you know, Jill. I am too!
Jill
Tell me Jack, what's wrong...
Jack
Boo hoo!!! Jill, you see, today has been bad. I awoke to a mouse and mother was mad. She screamed, it squeeked and went out the door.
Jill
Well...
Jack
That's not all! There's a whole lot more. Bessie, my cow then had to be sold before days' end for six pieces of gold. We were on our way to the market and I met an old lady with beans in her hand. I then sold Bessie. The lady was kind. I sold her for beans. Was I out of my mind? The beans she gave, I took to mother. Why did I do that?
Jill
Oh brother!
Jack
My mother was mad, but then got sad. So Jill, what kind of day have you had?
Jill
Nothing like that happened to me. I've been really bored and quite lazy. Oh, look, my friend, we're at the well. Let's have some fun, Jack. Farewell!
Jack
Hold on Jill. We can have some fun, but we're on a hilltop and should not run!
Jill
I know how we can have a good time. You can do whatever I rhyme.
Jack
Oh, that sounds great! I will do whatever you state! Alright Jill, I'll play along. Maybe you should rhyme - in song?
Jill
No. So - first you'll do a simple trick. You must jump a burning stick. Hurry Jack! You'd best be quick! Quick to jump that candlestick! Jack, be nimble. Jack, be quick. Jack, jump over the candlestick! Good job Jack, but up comes the moon. We have to hurry and be home soon.
Jack
I'll get the water and be very quick.
Jill
Jack! Watch out for the candlestick!
Jack
Uh oh!
Jill
Oh no!
Jack
Whoa!
Jill
That was fun Jack. Do that again.
Jack
Not today Jill, rest on that bin. I'll go up and fill the pale.
Jill
I'd rather softy sit - maybe here, on this bale.
Jack
Alright Jill, I wasn't slow. Just like you said, we've got to go.
Jill
Thank you Jack for playing tonight. Let's go now, while there still some light.
Jill's Mother
You're finally back, my lovely daughter. Thank you so much for getting the water.
Jill
We have a little story to tell about Jack and me at the water well. You see, Jack
Jack
And Jill
Jill
Went up the hill
Jack
To fetch a pale of water
Jill
Jack fell down and broke his crown.
Jack
Jill came tumbling after.
Jill's Mother
Daughter - it sounds like you both had fun.
Jill
Yes, we did.
Jack
But now, I must run. Goodnight and sweet dreams to both of you. I'll see you tomorrow. I bid you adieu!
Jill
Goodnight my friend. I'll see you soon. Mother I'm tired. I'm going to bed.
Jill's Mother
Goodnight Jill. Go rest your head.
Jack and the Beanstalk
Scene 6: The Next Morning
Jack
Ah, such a bright and beautiful morning today! It's time for adventure and fun and play. Or I could relax and reminisce - on yesterday. What's this?
Do my eyes deceive and should I believe? Here is a stalk of beans to the sky? I know that I shouldn't even ask why, as I'm sure this is from the magic beans - and I do know just what this means. I'll be rich and no longer be lean! Boy I'm smart - so very keen!
But I do wonder what is at the top of this green and leafy, over-sized crop. I'm almost certain that I'd be allowed to climb all the way up and onto that cloud. Since my mother won't awaken for hours, when I get back, I'll pick her some flowers.
Jack and the Beanstalk Fairy Tale
Scene 7: Into the Clouds
Jack
Wow... Everything here is very big! If this was a tree, I'd be a twig. I wish that this was my big house. I bet it has a big, big mouse; or even more, like nine or ten - armies of mice, the size of men. I hear steps, I'd better hide. Why did I come inside?
Lilly
Whomever is here, they'd best watch out. The giant will soon be coming about - soon! Well before noon! He'll use his harpoon and then put you in his spoon! Please come out before he's here. I'm very - nice, so have no fear!
Jack
Hello up there!
Lilly
You'd best beware!
Jack
I'm not scared at all right now. I'm too famished to lift my brow. I've not eaten for a while, you see. Do you have some food to spare - for me?
Lilly
Yes, of course! What will you eat?
Jack
Hmm... a sandwich would be a big treat!
Lilly
Wait right there. Don't move an inch. Making a sandwich will be a cinch!
Jack
That giant lady, familiar she looks. Come to think of it, so do those books. That picture right there; up on the wall - it used to hang in our family's hall! Ooh - I'm about to fuss! The Giant must have stolen all of this from us! Hey lady, come out here please!
Lilly
Yes, Jack? Would you like some cheese?
Jack
That would be great, but I must inquire! Just what in the Giant do you admire?
Giant
Fee! Fie! Fiddle-e-dee! I wonder what the wife is cookin' up for me?
Lilly
He - Me - My - I - did not decide. The Giant is coming. Go and hide.
Jack
What? You did not?
Lilly
No. Now go!
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fan. I smell the likes of an English man But be he living or be he quite not, he'll soon be the stew in my gold-leaf-ed pot!
Lilly
I didn't know you'd be home for brunch, but I've already prepared your lunch. How was your day honey? Was it grand? Did you conquer another man's land?
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fange. Wifee, you are acting strange!
Lilly
No, I'm not. It must be you. In fact my Giant, your lips are blue! I think you must be sick, my fellow. Your head is hot and your face is yellow! Try to listen to the harp's sweet verse and then take a nap before you look, I mean feel much worse.
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fold. I think that I will count my gold. Here is one and here is three. One and three are four, you see. Four and four are eight. Wait! I almost forgot. I didn't count the biggest lot.
Lilly
There's three hundred thousand in that.
Giant
Well - drat! Why did you stop my count.
Lilly
Your total is the same amount - three hundred thousand and eight.
Giant
Lilly, that is great!
Lilly
Alright now, go to sleep. If you must, count some sheep.
Giant
Bring the harp to sing a song.
Jack
(Aside) I hope this doesn't take too long.
Lilly
Here's the harp. She'll sing a tune.
Jack
(Aside) This giant, here, is quite a buffoon.
Harp
I sing this song for great, big Giant. It will make the Giant, compliant. He shall sleep now and not soon awake. He will not make...
Giant
(snore.)
Harp
Jack - his - steak.
Lilly
Alright Jack, it's time to pack. Don't forget your knapsack.
Jack
Thank you lady. What is your name?
Lilly
My name is Lilly. Now stop being silly. Get your things and go. The Giant will awake. You'll be his steak! Don't make his belly grow!!
Jack
Don't worry about me Lilly. You're the one that's silly. Why do you stay with him? He's so - grim.
Giant
Fee!
Jack
You see, I don't understand. Is this not a liberated land?
Giant
Fie!
Lilly
You're going to make me - sigh. No. This land is not free.
Jack
I see.
Giant
Foe!
Lilly
Jack, hurry up and go.
Jack
Alright, but I'll soon be back.
Lilly
Wait! You forgot your - knapsack.
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Feam. I'm having a very good dream...
Lilly
Did you hear what he said? Giant dearie, lift your head! The boy will soon be on is way back! Get ready for the boy with the little knapsack!
Giant
Fee. Fie. Foe. Fired. I can't do anything - I'm too tired!
Lilly
Alright then, I'll think of the plan. I'll get that puny English man!

It seems to be very well written. Not familiar with writing in this fashion. I love it though.
Gawn Fishin' from Vancouver, BC on June 13, 2008:
Thank you ProCW. As soon as I walk into their home there is a book handed to me by the 2, and 3 year olds. They do get involved in the stories, and yours have so much fun, excitement, and education, I know it will be their favorite. The 2 year old will be a good mouse!

Ver good! I read it to my daughter lol
ProCW (author) from South Carolina on June 12, 2008:
"Personal Use" would be totally FREE!!! I would be honored if you'd read it to your grandchildren! Maybe this will encourage them to get involoved with acting. If they are old enough (~ age 4+), let them read aloud some of the roles, or have them repeat after you. Get each of them up - on their feet - and have them be active with it. It will help them build confidence with performing in front of others. Get them to remember the lines and then give each of them suggestions of what to do with each of the lines. I'll finish posting the rest of the scenes soon. Thanks Gawn Fishin'. Artistically, ProCW
Gawn Fishin' from Vancouver, BC on June 12, 2008:
I simply wish to read this series to my grandchildren. Would that 'personal use' be prohibited?
