    (continued from previous page)
    snoring Jack took the gold and hurried down the bean stalk.
    The giant woke up and started after him. When Jack saw him he shouted to his mother to bring him out the 'cutty' hatchet. She hurried out with it and Jack cut the bean stalk and the giant fell and broke his neck. So put on the kettle and make the 'tay'. If they don't be happy that we may.
