12.  The moral of this story would be taking advantage of
the opportunities that life provides you. Jack is
taking a huge risk when he exchanges the cow for the
beans. The cow was their only income, and the money he
would get from selling the cow would have fed them for
days to come; yet he takes a chance, believing the power
of the magic beans.
 Jack’s decision to climb the beanstalk is another example
of taking the opportunities the life provides you. When he
starts climbing, he doesn’t know where that path will lead
him or if that path will lead somewhere at all. He
knows that he may face danger, but he has no idea what
that danger might be. Despite all these, he climbs the
beanstalk to find his luck. In the end, Jack is rewarded for
his bravery proving the old saying that fortune favors
the bold.
