Jack opens the oven door very quietly . He comes out on tiptoe . He goes past the sleeping ogre . The ogre does not wake up . On the table are the two bags of gold . Jack takes one bag . It is very heavy . He puts it under his arm . And then he runs ! Jack runs out of the house . He runs along the long road . He runs and runs until he comes to the beanstalk . At the top of the beanstalk , Jack throws down the bag of gold . The bag falls down , down , down . It falls into his mother’s garden . Then Jack climbs down the beanstalk . He climbs down and down and down . At last , he is home . “ Mother ! Mother ! ” he calls . “ Come and look ! ” His mother comes out into the garden . Jack shows her the bag of gold . “ Gold ! ” says his mother . “ So much gold ! Oh , Jack ! Where did you get it ? ” Jack tells her about the beanstalk and the road . He tells her about the great big tall house and the great big tall woman . And he tells her about the ogre . “ Well , Mother , ” says Jack . “ Wasn’t I right about the beans ? You see ? They really are magic . ” His mother looks at the gold , and she looks at the beanstalk . Then she looks at Jack , and she smiles . VI . The Hen That Lays Golden Eggs Jack and his mother live on the bag of gold for some time . They buy bread and cheese and milk . They buy meat . They buy wood for the fire . They are not hungry now , and they are not cold . But one day , Jack looks in the bag . There is no more gold . The bag is empty . “ The gold is all gone , Mother , ” says Jack . “ So I will go up the beanstalk again . I will try my luck one more time . ” So one fine morning , Jack gets up early . He gets onto the beanstalk , and he climbs . He climbs and he climbs and he climbs . At last , he is at the top . Jack walks along the long road again . Soon he comes to the great big tall house . And there , at the door , is the great big tall woman . “ Good morning , madam , ” says Jack . He is not afraid at all . “ Please , can you give me something to eat ? ” “ Go away , boy , ” says the big tall woman . “ Or my husband will eat you up for breakfast . ” Then she looks at Jack again . “ But wait , ” she says . “ Aren’t you the boy from before ? You came here once , didn’t you ? And do you know ? On that same day , my husband lost one of his bags of gold . ” “ Really ? That is strange , madam , ” says Jack . “ Maybe I can tell you something about that . But I am so hungry ! I can’t talk until I eat something . ” The big tall woman really wants to know about the gold . So she takes Jack into the kitchen again . She gives him some food . Jack eats very , very slowly . He does not want to talk about the gold . But soon there is a noise . Thump ! Thump ! Thump !
