Season 5[edit]
In "Just Desserts," this story is strongly referenced as part of a large fairy tale crossover in Arthur's dream. In the dream, he has magic beans that he got in a trade with D.W.'s Mary Moo Cow doll. In disgust, D.W. throws the beans away, which land in a nearby hole and begin to grow into a giant beanstalk. Arthur climbs the beanstalk to find a new toy for D.W., and finds a goose for her, which belongs to a giant made of every food Arthur has ever eaten. Arthur takes the goose back down as the giant climbs down after them, until Buster, as a woodcutter, cuts down the beanstalk.
