The next morning the giant had Jack
up early, and told him he was going off
this day and fight the giants OF the
other end of the world, and gave Jack
his directions and warned him just like
the other DAYS; then he went into the
stable before he went away, and when
he was gone Jack went through all
the house, through the whole yard. set
ting everything in order, and when
everything was done, he stood before
the stable door.
Il wonder says Jack, "how the poor
mare and h bear are getting along,
or what the Giant of the Hundred Hills
is doing today. / should just very much
like" says he, ito take n wee. wee
peep in" and opened the door.
Jack peeped in, and there the
and the bear stood loking at each other
again, and neither of them taking a
mOrseI. And there was the meat before
the mare and the hay before the bear,
just like on the other days.
Poor creatures" says Jack, "it IS no
wonder you are not eating. and hungry
and hungry you must be-" And forward
he steps and changes the food. putting

mare. and poor Jack" says she, II am
killed surely, and sorry for us, too, I
am, for we will be killed as well as
you"
20, o, o." says Jack, says he, that
is terrible. Is there nothing We can
do?"
"Only one thing" says the mare.
Whist is that?" says Jack.
Its this" says the mare; put that
saddle and bride on me and let's start
off and be away, far, far from this
country. until the Giant comes back"
and the saddle the bride Jack had on
the mare, and on her back he got to
start off.
co." says the bear, speaking up,
both of you are going away to leave
me in for all the trouble"
No" saws the mare, I'VE will not do
that"
Jack" says he, take the chains and
tie me to the bear"
Jack tied the mare to the bear with
chains that were hanging up, and then
the mare started. And then after the
three of thfm, the mare and the bear
and Jack, Started, and on and on be-
fore them rs fast as they could gallOp.
After a long time, says the mare:
Jack, look behind you and see what
you will see"
Jack looked behind him, and co."
says he Il see the Giant Of the Hun
dred Hills coming like a raging storm.
Very soon he will be on us and we will
all three be murdered"
Says the mare, a he, I'VE will
have a chance yet. Look in my left
ear and see what you viii see" and
in her left ear Jack looked and saw a
little chestnut. Throw it over your
left shoulder" says the mare.
Jack threw it over his left shoulder.
n that minute there was a chestnut
wood ten miles. On and on they went
that day and that night, and the mid
die Of the next day. Jack" says She,
look behind you and see what you can
see"
Jack looked behind him, and 90"
says he, 81 see the Giant of the Hun
dred Hills coming tearing after us like
a harvest hurricane"
DO you see anything strange about
him. JACKIE" says the mare. q
Yes" says Jack, says he. there is
as much bushes on the top Of his head
and as much fowl stuck about his feet
and legs as will keep him in flesh for
years to come. We are lone for this
time entirely" says poor Jack.
Not yet" says the mare; there is
another chance. Look into my right
ear and see what you Will see."
In the mares right ear Jack looked
and found a drop of water.
Throw it OVer you left shoulder,
Jack, says the mare, land see what
will happen"
over his left shoulder Jack threw it,
and all at once a Tough sprang up be-
tween them n the Giant that was
100 miles every way and 100 miles deep
the other place.
Now" says the mare, she cannot
reach US until the drinks his way
through the Tough, and very likely he
viii drink until he bursts, and then we
will be rid of him altogether"
Jack thanked God and on he went.
II was not long now until he reached
the borders Of Scotland, and coming in
Chere he saw a great wood.
Now" says the mare and the bear.
this wood must be our hiding place"
And what about me?" says Jack.
For you, Jack" says she, you must
push on and look for employment. The
castle of the King of Scotland is near
by, and l think you will be likely to
get employment there, but first I must
change you into an ugly little hoOkedy-
.crOOkedly fellow, because the King of
Scotland has three beautiful daughters.
and he won't take into his service such

Then the mare put her nostrils to
Jacks breast and blew his breath out
of him, and at last Jack was turned
into an ugly little hookedy-croOkedy
fellow.
Jack" says the mare, before Won
go, look into my left ear and take
what you see there.
Out of the mares left ear Jack took
a little cap.
Jack says she, that is a wishing
cap, n every time you put it on and
wish TO have anything done, it will be
