The Beanstalk

In the fourth episode the Goose, answering Timothy's question about Jack, tells him that in this version of the Neverafter Jack is quite wealthy NA E4·02:14:11. The Goose says Jack traded a cow to a magician for magic beans and then shimmied up a beanstalk and stole from a giant NA E4·02:14:11. The beanstalk is only told of in this story and is not seen in this episode NA E4·02:14:11.

In the fifteenth episode the party walks across a cloud that is miles wide and finds a six-foot sprig of green at its edge, NA E15·02:10:12 and Gerard says "That's how Jack gets up." NA E15·02:11:10 Brennan describes the beanstalk as five or eight feet wide and miles long, leading down from the clouds, and the party descends it into a land prepared for giant incursions NA E15·02:15:10 NA E15·02:18:14. Soldiers cry "It's over, it's lost. Torch the beanstalk!" NA E15·02:19:07

In the sixteenth episode the Golden Goose flies the egg, the harp, Tom Thumb, Thumbelina, Pib and Gerard 80 feet straight up, out of range of the trebuchets NA E16·01:42:16. When Murph asks whether they could out-climb a fire on the beanstalk, Brennan says it is miles and miles into the air NA E16·01:42:35 NA E16·01:42:45. In full retreat, the party reaches the beanstalk with the treasures and climbs it NA E16·02:00:05 NA E16·02:00:30. In the seventeenth episode the party stands on a cloud at the top of the beanstalk, and the Golden Goose says that if she strays much farther from the top she will leave the portion of the story in which she was hidden NA E17·00:02:50 NA E17·00:27:52.
