One day, the Sheriff of Nottingham decided to hold an archery contest in the town, with a

Robin Hood took the golden arrow and returned to Sherwood Forest, where he and his
Merry Men continued their fight for justice and the protection of the poor. The legend of

They were so poor that their only possession was a cow named Milky-White. One day,
when they had nothing left to eat, the widow told Jack to take the cow to the market and
sell her so they could buy food.

On the way to the market, Jack met a mysterious old man who offered to trade him magic
beans for Milky-White. Intrigued by the idea of magic beans, Jack agreed to the trade and
returned home with the beans. His mother was furious and threw the beans out the
window before sending Jack to bed without dinner.

beans. He decided to climb the beanstalk and found himself in a land high above the

had a goose that laid golden eggs and a magical harp that played beautiful music.

Jack stole the goose and the harp, but as he was leaving, the harp cried out, alerting the
giant. The giant chased Jack down the beanstalk, but Jack managed to climb down quickly
and cut the beanstalk down. The giant fell to his death, and Jack and his mother were able
to live in comfort with the wealth provided by the golden eggs.
