my image. She turned sideways and reviewed her image in the tall mirror she kept for admiring herself inside the door of her elderly Ikea kitchen broom cupboard. There was nothing there! She had no image! Was this because she had no backstory and therefore was only a two-dimensional character? Or was she a vampire? OMG, if she was - or, she thought prudishly, if she were - a vampire, then surely van Helsing

Vampire stories were very popular at the moment she thought. Perhaps if she could write one that she would have enough money to rent an apartment of her own away from her Stepfather, greedy sister and whinging Cinderella. That girl was always complaining about having to do the housework and saying that her Stepsisters should do their share. Well they couldn't do that could they , they might break a nail. What sort of husband would want them then?

Where was that idiot Jack Buttons? He'd promised to take her to The Ivy for lunch, lots of prospective husbands to be found there.

Jack put his hands in his pockets and looked up the Ivy. 'Ivy?' he said, 'doesn't look like ivy to me. Look,' he said to the cow (silly old or moo, he didn't care which) as he flicked at the fruit on it, 'that's not ivy. It's a bean. This is a bean stalk - and don't you dare make any smart comments about what it's been.'

'Look,' said the cow, 'I may walk on four legs, but I know a magic beanstalk when I see one. And that's a magic beanstalk, if ever I saw one.'

'OK, smartypants, what's magic about a beanstalk, then?'

( Can't wait for the film adaptation of this masterpiece, but who will play Jill ?, or Yuk, or indeed Jack himself ??)

Meanwhile Jack Buttons was still climbing up the bean stalk with the cow still standing at the bottom, gazing up at the steadily disappearing Jack.

eat the beanstalk. He ate slowly and methodically, chewing 30 times before swallowing and savoured every mouthful.

Suddenly Jack felt as though he was lower down the beanstalk than he has been earlier. Hadn't he passed that swallow sitting on the telegraph wire, at least two minutes ago. Jack looked down and saw the cow chewing thoughtfully. "Oi", he shouted down...
