So they live on the bag of gold for some time, butat last they come to the end of that so Jack makes up his mind to try his luckonce more up at the top of the beanstalk. So one fine morning he gets up early, and gets on to the beanstalk, and he climbs and he climbs and he climbs and he climbs and he climbs and he climbs till at last he gets on the road again and comes to the great big tall house. There, sure enough, is the great big tall woman standing on the door-step.

“Good morning, mum,” says Jack, “can you be so good as to give me something to eat?”

“Go away, my boy,” says the big, tall woman, “or else my man will eat you up for breakfast. But aren’t you the boy who was here once before? Do you know, that day, somebody took my man’s bag of gold.”

“That’s strange, mum,” says Jack, “I dare say I could tell you something about that but I’m so hungry I can’t speak till I have something to eat.”
