Story - Jack and the Beanstalk Twist

Once upon a time there was a little girl,
She was very pretty and her name was Pearl.
She had an older brother and his name was Jack,
And he went to sell their cow on the market track.
Little girl Pearl didn’t want their cow to go,
So she ran to the garden shed and got out the hoe.
By now Jack was home, carrying a bean that he claimed could take him to Rome!
Their mother screamed and shouted,
So Jack and Pearl pouted,
Then they were sent to bed without their butter and bread.


The next morning Jack was up bright and early,
He brushed his teeth till they were white and pearly.
He looked out his window and shouted
“Yikes! Pearl our beanstalk's covered in spikes”
Jack's yell woke his sleeping sister. "I’ve climbed these spikes without you mister!”
After hearing that gruesome reply, Jack looked up into the sky.
“Hey, wait for me,” shouted slow brother Jack,
But the beanstalk fell down with a great big CRACK!
“Ha ha you sucker, now I’m in Rome and your stuck at home!” Yelled darling Pearl giving her hair a vicious curl.
Then to her surprise, right before her pretty blue eyes appeared a golden girl.

“I command you to show me around Rome, because it's now my new home,” said little girl Pearl to the golden coloured girl.
“No way,” replied she “because I don’t have the key.”
“Then I’ll do it myself,” said Pearl.
Pearl found her way around Rome then it became her new home.
Finally she lived happily ever after,
And her brother made his living by becoming a crafter.
