    '' You'll not, '' and he took up his bucket and went home.
    Then Jack had to eat as much as the giant.
    He got a cows hide, and put it under his coat, and let the food drop into it. He ate more than the giant in this way. The giant was surprised and Jack got a knife, and opened the hide, and let out the food. The giant tried to do the same, and he killed himself. Jack got home safely.
