Plot[]
In a quaint little village lived a broke grandmother and her grandson, Iggy. One day, in a moment of desperation, Grandma smashed open a piggy bank, revealing an old I.O.U. note. They were hungry and struggling, and the situation grew dire when Iggy decided to sell their beloved family cow, hoping it could fetch a good price.
Iggy set off to “Bunky Bill’s Used Cows” to see what he could get for their prize Holstein. Upon arriving, Bunky Bill inspected the cow and deemed it unworthy for his stock. However, since Iggy was a new customer, Bunky Bill offered him a handful of magic beans instead, claiming they would be of great value. Excitedly, Iggy hurried home and told Heathcliff about his trade. But when he unveiled the beans, Heathcliff scoffed at the absurdity of trading their cow for mere beans.
When Iggy arrived at his grandmother's house, her anger erupted upon hearing what he had done. In disbelief, she threw the magic beans out the window, scolding him. As Iggy and Heathcliff resigned themselves to their misfortunes, something extraordinary happened: the beans began to sprout, rapidly growing into a towering vine that whisked Heathcliff away, soaring high into the sky.
Heathcliff found himself at the standing on clouds land near the entrance of a colossal castle and, despite the ominous "No Soliciting" sign at the door, he ventured inside. The castle was teeming with strange sights, including a giant sleeping in the corner and a goose that mysteriously laid golden eggs. Just then, Heathcliff stumbles upon a gigantic paw belonging to Spike, who is giant bulldog.
Spike grabbed Heathcliff and, with a menacing growl, asked for his final request. Thinking quickly, Heathcliff expressed a longing to see Paris before he met his end, but Spike disdainfully denied his wish. With his back against the wall, Heathcliff resorted to a cunning trick.
