- (continued from previous page)He went into a temper and ran off again to cut the butt of the wind. On his way he met the King again. The King gave him a rod. When a row rises take the rod and say Slash caman. Jack went into the same house again. He told the woman not to say Slash caman. During the night Jack heard roars. He got up found it was the rod beating the woman. So he said to her give me back my cow and pan. The old woman gave them to him and jack came to be the richest man in his district.
