Explanation

In the classic fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack makes three visits to the giant's castle. On his first visit, he steals a hen that lays golden eggs; on the second, sacks of money (shillings and guineas); and on the third visit, he steals a magical harp that plays music on its own. The harp's calls for help alert the giant, leading to the climax where Jack escapes and cuts down the beanstalk.
