Jack and Beanstalk

Similar to the English fable, Jack was harassed and beleaguered by an ogre who just happened to be the father of the woman he hoped to marry. As in Joseph Jacob’s fable, Jack’s ogre met an untimely ending in his relentless pursuit of the suitor of his daughter, who, incidentally, was nicknamed Beanstalk by her friends and acquaintances.
