  1. (continued from previous page)
    Going to bed he told them the people of the house not to telling the stick to whach about. They told it and immediately they did it began to beat everyone of them. Jack heard the roars and he got up. He saw how he had been fooled and he told them that he would kill them if they would not give him back his cow, his pot and his stick. He went home the next morning and himself and his mother lived happy ever afterwards.
