Is there a message in this story? Most childrens stories seem to have one but I can't work this one out, it seems to condone stealing, isn't that what Jack did?

Morale of the story is 10 fold.
1) Whatever someone give you, it means nothing till you throw it away. Keep your friend with you.
2) You reap what you sow. Good fortune come to you from the blessing of earth.
2) To get what you want, climb up. Not of use if the blessing is there, but having no action taken, happiness will still not be there waiting for you.
3) Trouble come to you in big ways when you want to achieve your dreams.
4) Not all doors are meant for you, even when you think you are in heaven.
5) You saw what you want, and get it. Trouble come to you. Always plot your action wisely.
6) It is good to have a friend from high place, even if your friend is second class compare to the Big Man.
7) Run as fast as you can. Don't be hero to face the problem alone. You will die early.
8) The things that you have now in your hand, is the cause of your trouble now. Was it wise to take it?
9) Seek help from parents if all else fail. They are wise to guide you. They can even chop your trouble down to sizes.
10) Grow old wisely. The trouble come with youth. Live your life to be fruitful. What you enjoy now, come with a price on your head when you were young.

Easy: don't be greedy and appearances can deceive you. Even when you see some one that may not deserve what he's got (or at least you think that) it's not fair to judge when you don't know the real situation. Jack stole the goose and the harp cause he thought the giant didn't deserved it, he thought that because of his height then he was bad and mean and ugly. The true story is actually totally different, Jack was the bad one, the goose and the harp where in heaven and he took them away from it. Instead if working for a living, our dearest but oh so wrong Jack took the easy way out.

well as for your condoning stealing question, the times in which this book was written was a time in which thievery was okay as long as you stole from someone who was evil.
the moral of the story is probably this simple, bad people dont deserve good things

The moral is that you should not trust your foolish son to sell your cow for a good price, you should get off the couch and do it yourself.

Don't buy any stock in magic beans? They might go up but they'll come crashing down in no time. Remember: Diversify.

Be careful what you foolishly trade for the opportunity to plant strange seeds that bring impossible fortune, great danger, and big,big trouble--- to top it all off.
