so with his lunch OF cheese and bread
he set out down the dusty road in the
hot sun and walked for ten miles. At
noon he stopped for nap In the shade
Of the big, gray tower where the giant
lived. Up at the top he could see the
cool clouds and the soft rain falling,
while the land was all burned up below
by the heat.
Just then the kings herald came by,
proclaiming the order of reward to any
one who would rid the king Of Gumbo.
Jack looked up the tower till his eyes
grew dazed at its height. Then he
heard a creaking and saw that there
Of boxes and baskets that rested in
large bucket at the end of chain.
Gumbo was hauling up his provisions.
This gave Jack an idea. He would hide
In the bucket and get to the top.
So with spring he leaped Into the
bucket, and in moment was whizEing
UP to the top of the tower, at least two
miles above the earth. And the pack
butter. When the goods got to the top
Gumbo just put them aside, and did not
take them out at ALL as II was nearly
dark, so Jack remained hidden among
the provisions till the moon rose.
Jack could see the giant snoring in
his big bed, with his hand on the latch
that fastened the door to the room In
which he had gathered the clouds and
Jack grabbed the bundle of butter and
smeared 1t over the first flight of steps
leading to the ground. The bucket he
rested on the edge OF the tower, SO that
he could jump in and go down when he
wanted. Now all was ready, and with a
quick jerk Jack pulled the latch of the
room in which the winds and clouds
were hidden. 's. -.
Out burst the storms. and Gumbo
awoke and started after Jack. But the
lad was already in the bucket, which
was rapidly descending to the ground.
With a cry of rage the sleepy giant
started down the tower steps. but he
slipped on the butter and fell, humping
hard from flight to fight, till his huge
form began to shake the stone them
selves. Down and down he tumbled,
and when about half way his clumsy
foot struck the sides and knocked out
a portion. Jack was now on the ground.
safely watching the huge form crashing
down. But suddenly there was loud
noise; the upper half of the tower up
set. and with great splash the giant
and the shower of stones fell into the
sea.
Then for days the rain fell, till the
land was full of fresh grass and fine
crops. And at the end OF the week the
king sent for Jack, who went into the
marble court with holes in his dusty
shoes. But the fair princess married
the lad, and there was then always n
plenty for the cobblers family, for they
all lived in the palace, and had every
thing they wished to eat and wear.
