When he brought them home to his mother instead of the money she expected for her nice cow , she was very vexed and shed many tears , scolding Jack for his folly . He was very sorry , and mother and son went to bed very sadly that night ; their last hope seemed gone . At daybreak Jack rose and went out into the garden . ` At least , ' he thought , ' I will sow the wonderful beans . Mother says that they are just common scarlet-runners , and nothing else ; but I may as well sow them . ' So he took a piece of stick , and made some holes in the ground , and put in the beans . That day they had very little dinner , and went sadly to bed , knowing that for the next day there would be none and Jack , unable to sleep from grief and vexation , got up at day-dawn and went out into the garden . What was his amazement to find that the beans had grown up in the night , and climbed up and up till they covered the high cliff that sheltered the cottage , and disappeared above it ! The stalks had twined and twisted themselves together till they formed quite a ladder . ` It would be easy to climb it , ' thought Jack . And , having thought of the experiment , he at once resolved to carry it out , for Jack was a good climber . However , after his late mistake about the cow , he thought he had better consult his mother first . WONDERFUL GROWTH OF THE BEANSTALK So Jack called his mother , and they both gazed in silent wonder at the Beanstalk , which was not only of great height , but was thick enough to bear Jack 's weight . ' I wonder where it ends , ' said Jack to his mother ; ' I think I will climb up and see . ' His mother wished him not to venture up this strange ladder , but Jack coaxed her to give her consent to the attempt , for he was certain there must be something wonderful in the Beanstalk ; so at last she yielded to his wishes . Jack instantly began to climb , and went up and up on the ladder-like bean till everything he had left behind him -- the cottage , the village , and even the tall church tower -- looked quite little , and still he could not see the top of the Beanstalk . Jack felt a little tired , and thought for a moment that he would go back again ; but he was a very persevering boy , and he knew that the way to succeed in anything is not to give up . So after resting for a moment he went on . After climbing higher and higher , till he grew afraid to look down for fear he should be giddy , Jack at last reached the top of the Beanstalk , and found himself in a beautiful country , finely wooded , with beautiful meadows covered with sheep . A crystal stream ran through the pastures ; not far from the place where he had got off the Beanstalk stood a fine , strong castle .
Jack wondered very much XXXXX he had never heard of or seen this castle before ; but when he reflected on the subject , he saw that it was as much separated from the village by the perpendicular rock on which it stood as if it were in another land .
