Jack and the Beanstalk (Part 2) 🌱 🧌
This week we have Part 2 of "Jack and the Beanstalk"!
Last time, Jack planted a magical bean that grew overnight into a colossal beanstalk! He climbed up and discovered a giant’s castle, where he rescued a long-fingered lemur known as an aye-aye. The aye-aye rewarded Jack with a bag of infinite treasure and told him that there were two more castles further up the beanstalk...also with creatures who were being forced to guard treasures. They decided to try and save them, too. So far they have made their way into the second castle. But they’ve just noticed that the leg of a huge table has started moving....did they stumble into a trap!? Let’s join them and find out, in this conclusion of our "Jack and the Beanstalk" adaptation.
