Was Jack in the Jack and the Beanstalk story a bad kid?

1. He made a shady deal with a questionable salesman for some "magic" beans. He is underage and doesn't ask for permission from his legal custodians/parents to sell the family cow.
2. He risks life and limb to climb the bean stalk without wearing appropriate safety equipment or proper harnessing/anchoring.
3. He steals a golden goose from the Giant. I understand that the Giant is a cannibal, but maybe that's just the way where he lives
4. He causes the death of the Giant

Jack isn't the only fairy tale "hero" that justifies stealing and killing for the betterment of their family or for personal gain.

He probably sat around playing video games all the time, and liked cats.

He probably ended up buying a ten speed bike, lycra shorts, and a yellow jersey with those golden eggs and then "won" the Tour de France seven times.

I don’t trust any man that wears skin tight biking britches.

As I recall the original story, He was sent to town by his Mother to sell the cow.

He colonized the giants space and and plundered his birthright goose for capitalist purposes.

I like Jack Horner. Stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum. Said, "Do I really have to eat this POS."

There are different versions of the story
In some of them, Jack marries a princess and lives happily ever after
In others, he remains single and returns home to live with his mother.

Did his Mother's house have a basement with a broadband internet connection?

Pretty sure his mother lived in Schitt's Creek.

His mother was a bad influence (just like that Tour de France winner’s mom)
In many versions of the tale, the mother does instruct an underage child without any business experience to sell the cow
In some versions of the story, it’s the mother that chops down the beanstalk as the Giant climbs down, killing the Giant

He was a lazy socialist. Instead of getting a good education and working hard, he killed someone for a goose that lays golden eggs, so he could kick back and relax while the goose did all the work.

Point of the story is.......

Due to Covid 19 and the cancelling of elective procedures, you have a lot of time on your hands? wink

I'm thinking so. The giant, like certain political candidates, apparently went around sniffing children. The giant got what he deserved.

Sleepy JoB hid in his crib
Biden his time all day
They picked him a mate
Beware of your fate
