Jack made another journey up the beanstalk to the Giants Castle one day while his mother had gone to market. But first he dyed his hair and disguised himself. The old woman did not know him again and dragged him in as she had done before to help her do the work. But presently she heard her husband coming and hid him in the wardrobe, not thinking that it was the same boy who had stolen the hen. She told him to stay quite still there or the giant would eat him. Then the giant came in saying I smell the blood of an English man living will be he did or grid his bones to be my bread nonsense. Replied, the wife, it is only a roasted bullock for your supper. Sit down and I will bring it up to you at once. As soon as they had finished their meal, the Giants rose and said, now my dear, I'll go on to my room to finish the story. I'm reading. If you want me, call for me before you go. Said the giant bring me my money bag that I may count my gold pieces before I sleep. She went and soon returned with two large bags over her shoulders there. She said that's all that's left of the night's money. When you have spent it, you must take another baron's castle that he shall not if I can help. It. Thought Jack, the giant took out heaps and heaps of golden pieces and counted them leaning back in his chair. He fell fast asleep. Snoring. Jack stole softly out of the wardrobe and taking up the bags of money, which were his very own because the giant had stolen them from his father. He ran off and with great difficulty climbing down the bean stalk, laid the bags of gold on his mother's table.
