SceneScript/Description


Castle
Scene 1: Once upon a time there lived a Giant and his wife. They lived in a big castle high in the clouds. They lived very comfortably in the clouds and had everything they could ever need including some very valuable family treasures that have been handed down from generation to generation.

Castle door
Scene 2: This small family rarely got any visitors as they were the only giants around. One day as the giantess was cleaning the kitchen and preparing dinner for her husband, she heard a knock at the door. “Who in the world could that be?” she exclaimed. At the door she saw no one at first, and then she heard a small voice at her feet. “Please ma’am, I have traveled a long distance and am hungry. May I have something to eat?” As she looked down to see the speaker she found a small human boy. She was surprised to find him there, but as she had no children of her own, she welcomed him in and fed him. “What is your name boy?” she asked. “Jack”, he answered.

In oven
Scene 3: Before she had time to ask anymore questions, they heard loud footsteps coming towards the kitchen. The giantess rushed to explain to Jack “my husband has been in a bad mood all day and won’t take kindly to having a stranger in the house.” She let him hide quickly in the oven, as it was the only place low enough that he could get into.

English muffin
Scene 4: Now the giant was indeed in a bad mood that day but the prospects of a good meal had cheered him up greatly. He sat down saying “Fee fi fo fum, I smell an English muffin.” His wife was happy to hear that he was excited for the muffins she had made for dinner. In her haste to serve her husband dinner she forgot about the boy Jack. After the good meal the giant fell asleep at the table.

Coins
Scene 5: When it was time for bed, she roused her husband so he could get ready. As she cleaned up the kitchen she noticed that her bag of coins was missing. As the she listened to the beautiful sounds of their magical harp, she decided not to mention it to the Giant because it might bring back the bad mood he was in earlier that day.


Hen
Scene 6: Now the Giant and his wife had a special hen. This hen laid golden eggs and they were very proud of it. Everyday she would go out and collect the eggs from the hen. But on this particular day she went to collect the eggs and discovered the hen was missing. She spent all day looking for this hen but it was no where to be found.

Moon
Scene 7: That night she decided to tell her husband. “What?” he says, “it’s missing? It couldn’t have gone far there’s no where for it to go in these clouds.” They decided that it was too late to deal with it that night. They would search for their again hen the following day.

Harp 2
Scene 8: The next day, as they were about to eat lunch, they heard a terrible screech coming from their bedroom. As they ran to see where it came from, to her amazement, the giantess saw Jack running out the door carrying their beautiful harp! “Stop, Jack, stop!” she yelled.

Jack Running With Harp
Scene 9: She sent her husband after Jack to retrieve their harp. She waited anxiously for their return. Soon he returned with Jack and the harp. They questioned Jack until he confessed to stealing all of their missing items, including the coins and the hen. The Giantess kindly explained to Jack that stealing was bad and how worried they were. Jack agreed to return the items and to never steal again.

Castle/nice giant
Scene 10: As the Giant couple learned more about Jack, they discovered he found their castle by climbing a giant beanstalk, and that he lived with his mother who is very poor. The Giant sent Jack home to bring his mother so they can meet her. From then on Jack and his mother were always welcome in the castle in the cloud…..as long a Jack did not steal anymore. The End.
