  1. Once upon a time a giant lived in a house. He was so big that his head was in a room, and the rest of his body was in a kitchen.
    On day, a boy named Jack, went into this giant's house by mistake, The giant said that he'd kill him if he wouldn't do what he'd tell him.
    The first job he told him to do, was to go to a wood, cut timber, and carry it on his back.
