Well, the message the story gives is not the same one we are talking about. The actual significance of this magic is just like an opportunity that came in your life and similarly, it happened with the boy and his mother. 

Now, let us understand what the story is about.

The Bedtime Story of Jack and The Beanstalk

Long ago, there lived a widow with her boy named Jack, who was very lazy at doing the daily chores, so his mother used to be very angry with his behaviour. Soon without work, they started becoming poorer and poorer day by day. One day, Jack decided to sell their cow to meet their ends, so he took the cow to the market. While heading, he met an old man who offered him five beans in exchange for a cow. He also said to sow these beans at night and in the morning, they will reach the sky.

When the crazy guy brought those beans home, his mother got furious about not bringing money to fulfill their needs. His mother threw those seeds outside in a fit of anger and the next day, it was quite dark in his room, he removed the curtains and saw mesmerising event happening outside his room. It was a large beanstalk which was the result of the beans sown (not intentionally but after they fell on the ground) the last night. 

He fastly got ready and started climbing the tree, he could see the clouds across the sky, reaching the height of the topmost buildings which were higher than the treetops, it was really an enjoyable experience for this guy while he kept on climbing, soon he got hungry and needed food to get energy.

The Story of Jack and Beanstalk

Now, the next he kept on hoping place-by-place in search of food and suddenly, he saw a huge castle with a woman standing at the door, he went there and delightedly wished her and said: Good morning! Would you please provide me with a share of your food to me?

She said that her husband likes eating friend little boys in his breakfast, Jack got scared and asked her to protect him from Ogre (the woman’s husband). The woman was very kind and she offered Jack bread and milk. 

The Woman was Very Kind and She offered Jack Bread and Milk

While walking on the white road towards the castle, his wife said: "Goodness gracious me! It's my husband," said the huge woman, wringing her hands, "what on earth shall I do? There's nothing he likes better than boys broiled on toast and that i have no bread left. Oh dear, I never should have allowed you to stay for breakfast. Here, come quickly and jump in here." she or he hurried Jack into an oversized copper pot sitting beside the stove even as her husband, the giant, came in.

However, Ogre was so smart and he smelled an Englishman somewhere around his home and asked his wife about the same person in the following way:

He ducked inside the kitchen and said, "I'm ready for my breakfast -- I'm so hungry I could eat three cows. Ah, what's this I smell?

Fee-fi-fo-fum,

I smell the blood of an Englishman,

Be he alive, or be he dead

I'll have his bones to grind my bread.

"Nonsense, dear," said his wife, "we haven't had a boy for breakfast in years. Now you go and ruin and by the time you come your breakfast will be ready for you."

"Goodness gracious me! It's my husband," said the giant woman, wringing (extremely wet hands) her hands, "what on earth shall I do? There's nothing he likes better than boys broiled on toast and that I have no bread left. Oh dear, I never should have allow you to stay for breakfast. Here, come quick and jump in here." and she or he hurried Jack into an oversized copper pot sitting beside the stove even as her husband, the giant, came in.

He went to the kitchen and said, "I'm ready for my breakfast -- I'm so hungry I could eat three cows. Amazing, what's this I smell?

Fee-fi-fo-fum,

I sensel the blood of an Englishman,

Be he alive, or be he is slain

I'll have his bones to crush my bread.

"Nonsense, dear," said his wife, "we haven't had a boy for breakfast in years. Now you go and ruin and by the time you come your breakfast will be ready for you."

So the giant went off to tidy -- Jack was close to making a run for it when the lady stopped him. "Wait until he's asleep," she said, "he always has a little snooze after breakfast."

Jack peeked out of the copper pot even as the giant returned to the kitchen carrying a basket crammed with golden eggs and a sickly-looking, white hen. the giant poked the hen and growled, "Lay" and therefore the hen laid an egg made from gold which the giant added to the basket.

The giant went to his cupboard after breakfast and brought out a golden harp with the visage of a sad young girl. "Sing," the giant hissed as he prodded the harp, and the harp started to play a sweet tune as she murmured a symphony. The behemoth then started to snore and nod his head till the entire room rocking.

Jack snuck out of the metal pot and began tiptoeing out from the kitchenette when the giant fell asleep. Just as he was ready to walk away, he heard the harp-girl crying. Jack sighed and returned to the kitchen, biting his lower lip. He snatched the ill chicken and, with it, the singing harp, and began tiptoeing back out. But at this point, the hen gave a cackle which woke the giant, and even as Jack got out of the house he heard him calling, "Wife, wife, what have you done with my white hen and my golden harp?"

Jack raced as fast as he could, and the giant, realising he had been duped, chased him down the vast, twisting path, far away from the castle. When the giant needed to ascend the beanstalk, he was barely twenty yards away when he suddenly saw Jack vanish - perplexed, the giant peered through the clouds and spotted Jack beneath the clouds, clinging to life. The giant pounded his foot fiercely and screamed.

Fee-fi-fo-fum,

I smell the blood of an Englishman,

Be he alive, or be he dead

I'll have his bones to grind my bread.

Using his bulk, the giant flung himself down onto the beanstalk, which rattled. Jack slipped and descended down the beanstalk as swiftly as he could, followed by the giant.

As he got closer to the bottom, Jack exclaimed, "Greetings, Mother! Please!  bring me an axe" And his mom dashed out with Jack's timber cutting axe in her hands, although when she reached the giant beanstalk, she stopped dead in her tracks, terrified.

Jack hopped down and grabbed the axe to begin hacking away at the beanstalk. Fortunately, he'd grown pretty adept at chopping as a result of all the tasks he'd done over the past, and it didn't take very long for him to slash through every one of the beanstalks to cause it to wobble. The beanstalk eventually collapsed apart after Jack gave one final large cut with the axe. The giant then collapsed and destroyed his crown, and the beanstalk followed suit.

The humming harp expressed her gratitude to Jack for saving her from the giant; she had despised being confined to the vault and wished to stay in the farm by the window and sing to the birds and butterflies.

With a touch of patience and his mother's help, it didn't take long for Jack to urge the sickly hen back into good health and therefore the grateful hen continued to get a fresh golden egg each day.

Jack used the cash from selling the golden eggs to buy back Old Bess, purchase seed for the spring crop, and to repair his mother's farm. He even had enough left over to invite all of his neighbours over for a pleasant meal, complete with music from the singing harp.

Eventually, in the Bedtime Story of Jack and the Beanstalk, we notice that Jack, his mother, Old Bess, the golden harp, and the white hen lived happily ever after. However, bedtime teaches us opportunity comes out of the blue in your way.
