Night comes, people sleep. Candles are expensive. Jack figured when the giant’s sleeping, he could sneak in, snatch a golden egg and escape. But the giant’s brother was on night watch.
“Fee fie foe fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman!” thundered the guard, startling Jack that he backtracked as fast as he could, almost sliding down the enormous tree.

“Mama, I promise I’ll bring two eggs tomorrow! Please give me my porridge.”
“Okay, here. You’d better!”
