What exactly did Jack find at the top of the beanstalk? If I remember correctly, there was a goose that laid golden eggs and a singing harp, but was there anything else in the way of treasure up there? It seems likely that there must have been a treasure room in the giant’s castle with all sorts of things inside made of precious metals every kind. I’m sure there must have been a goldbar or two lying around, but maybe they were too heavy for Jack to carry.
There were probably heaps and heaps of coins laying around or overflowing from chests , but jack might not want those, unless he they were made of gold or silver he could not be sure of the coinvalue of some strange piece of currency minted in the clouds. So jack probably ignored the coins as well, after all, even if they were gold or silver, the goose was much lighter, and with the goose he could fill up his shack with golden eggs.
But what would Jack do with the golden eggs? Would he just take them to market and tray to use them to buy things? Surely people’s curiosity would be roused by golden eggs, and it wouldn’t wouldn’t do to let people know that he had a goose that laid golden eggs. Jack would have to develop some method of turning the eggs into goldcoins if was going to spend them without arousing unwanted suspicion from neighbors.
