Jack and the Beanstalk | On to the market. (Scene 2) - A free to read rhymed play!

Jack

Bessie, my cow, please forgive me now. For all will be well, but only if I go to the market and sell - you to a buyer...

Bessie

Moo? (Who?)

Jack

You. Now don't be a crier.

Bessie

Mop muttin' mool! (Stop cuttin' fool!)

Jack

I don't mean to be cruel, but this may be the end for you and me. You see...

Bessie

Mack, mah ma moo mahming muhmout? (Jack, what are you talking about?)

Jack

You, I'm afraid, have got to get out. Mother told me a short bit ago that Bessie, the cow has got to go! That's you.

Bessie

Moo moo... (Boo hoo...)

Jack

Yes, my friend, we have to go now. Gather your things, but do raise your brow. We'll still be friends... (aside) though I don't know how. She'll no longer be my gal of a cow.

Bessie

My meard mat! (I heard that!)

Jack

(Aside) I really must learn how I should chat.

Bessie

My mot moe-ing. Mime monna mun amay. (I'm not going. I'm gonna run away.)

Jack

Bessie, don't run away, stay!!!

Bessie

Mih-me? O-may! (Really? Okay!)

Jack

I mean stay right there, but we still have to go. I do have to sell you so mother won't crow. Watch out...!!! You're about... to...!!! Oh, foo! Bessie, why did you step in the mud?

Bessie

Jack

Oh my goodness, how? How now, brown cow?

Bessie

Moo meemee maf moo mell me? (You really have to sell me?)

Jack

Mes! I mean, yes! I have to get six pieces of gold, see. At least that's what mother told me.

Bessie

My me...! Mats mall mime mirth?!!! Moo moo! Moo moo-moo!!! (I see...! That's all I'm worth?!! Boo hoo! Boo hoo-hoo!!!)

Jack

Bessie, we've got to go.

Bessie
