This story is called Jack and the Beanstalk, a traditional tale adapted and recorded by LibraryCall. Once upon a time, there was a poor boy named Jack who lived with his mother and their cow named Milky-white. Jack and his mother relied completely on the cow’s milk as their only source of food and income.
