Then he said he would go home and make his mother comfortable. When he was going home he met a man with a magic tablecloth. He asked Jack was he hungry and he said he was, so he left the table cloth on the ground and got tea ready. Jack gave him a boot of gold for it. He went on and met a man with a buget on his back and he gave him another boot of gold for it. When he went home he got the table cloth with a meal on it and his mother was very glad. He told the buget to fight and an army began to fight. His mother got such a fright that she died.
