Jack and the Beanstalk with Logan

Logan and João loved being neighbors! They lived in houses near each other in New York. The only difference was that João had a huge yard with lots of grass where many cows and chickens used to live. Now, João lived with his mom and a single cow named Branca. Sometimes, their only food was Branca's milk. Whenever he could, Logan brought snacks to João's house for endless playtime on the grass. João's mom was always happy to see them. João loved playing tag, and Logan enjoyed talking about robots. Today, they were playing with Logan's robots!

One day, João's mom asked him to sell Branca because they needed more than just milk. João called Logan, and they went to the market together. As they passed by a corner, they met a kind old man. The old man smiled at João and Logan. "Hello, boys!" he said. "What are you doing today?"

"We're going to sell our cow!" João laughed.

"Sell your cow?" The old man was surprised. "Well, I have something special for you. Would you like to trade your cow for some magic beans?"

"Magic beans?" Logan asked, looking shyly at the old man. "What can you do with those?"

João was curious. "Beans are food, right? We could eat them!" he said. "That's more than just milk."

The old man nodded. "You will be surprised by what these beans can do!"

João and Logan agreed to trade Branca for the beans. They said goodbye to their cow, a little sad, and left with the old man. They were excited about the beans and thought they were lucky to have traded their cow for them.

When they returned to João's house, João's mom was surprised! "What did you do?" she asked.

"We traded Branca for magic beans!" João said.

João's mom looked at the beans with a worried expression. "What magic?" she asked. "You know, my dear, we need more than magic."

"But the man said the beans were special!" João shouted. "He said they would give us more than just milk."

João's mom sighed. "I'm afraid that old man tricked us," she said. "He probably just wanted to get rid of the beans."

João's mom told Logan to go home and João to go to bed. That night, João was upset because he didn't know what they would eat the next day. He was angry at the old man and threw the beans out the window. Then, he went to bed.

The next morning, João woke up to an amazing sight! A giant beanstalk had grown in his yard, reaching up to the clouds! It was like a ladder to the sky. João's mom was confused, but she decided to let João meet Logan to play.

João and Logan, always curious, decided to climb the beanstalk. It was a long and tiring climb, but they kept going. Logan climbed slowly behind João. He was a little scared but followed his friend. Finally, they reached the clouds and found a giant castle!
