Jack and the Beanstalk
90Living historically.
The lowest tale on this shelf. The story cheers a theft and calls the boy clever.
The review
Jack's mother is angry because he sold the cow. The rest of the story tells the child not to worry, because the beans were magic and the giant deserved to be robbed. Some tellings say the giant stole the goods first. The tale a child usually hears does not. It says Jack is clever.
Clever is not one of the eight measures. Courage without a duty, and a prize that is someone else's, pulls this one to the bottom. A house can still tell it. Say, when you finish, that the giant's wife fed him and he stole from her kitchen.

The glance
Industry is the thin one.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
The eight
- 9Industry
His mother is poor. He trades away the cow, which was the household's real asset.
- 9Household
A widow and her son. He does not ask her before he risks what they have.
- 9Piety
No conscience. The giant's wife helps him, and he robs her house anyway.
- 9Courage
The climb and the escapes take nerve. Nerve is not the same as a reason.
- 9Republic
He takes a harp, a hen, and gold from a house he was fed in. Strength is the only law.
- 9Temperance
Magic beans and someone else's gold. The wanting is the plot, and it is rewarded.
- 9Truth
He hides, he lies, and the tale treats the lying as the fun.
- 9Stewardship
The fortune at the end was stolen. Nothing was built for the people after him.
