There must be something magic about him"
In the morning when they got up they gave Jack a big bag of gold and told him they had no work for him to do, and they had plenty of money without that. Jack took the money and went home full of joy to his mother. She was glad to see her son coming home safe and sound. So he lived happy ever after.
