The framework was all sparkling with diamonds and rubies , and the strings were all of gold . ` This is one of the nicest things I took from the knight , ' said the Giant . ' I am very fond of music , and my harp is a faithful servant . ' So he drew the harp towards him , and said : ` Play ! ' And the harp played a very soft , sad air . ` Play something merrier ! ' said the Giant . And the harp played a merry tune . ` Now play me a lullaby , ' roared the Giant ; and the harp played a sweet lullaby , to the sound of which its master fell asleep . Then Jack stole softly out of the wardrobe , and went into the huge kitchen to see if the Giantess had gone out ; he found no one there , so he went to the door and opened it softly , for he thought he could not do so with the harp in his hand . Then he entered the Giant 's room and seized the harp and ran away with it ; but as he jumped over the threshold the harp called out : ` MASTER ! MASTER ! ' And the Giant woke up . With a tremendous roar he sprang from his seat , and in two strides had reached the door . But Jack was very nimble . He fled like lightning with the harp , talking to it as he went -LRB- for he saw it was a fairy -RRB- , and telling it he was the son of its old master , the knight . Still the Giant came on so fast that he was quite close to poor Jack , and had stretched out his great hand to catch him . But , luckily , just at that moment he stepped upon a loose stone , stumbled , and fell flat on the ground , where he lay at his full length . This accident gave Jack time to get on the Beanstalk and hasten down it ; but just as he reached their own garden he beheld the Giant descending after him . ` Mother I mother ! '
cried XXXXX , ` make haste and give me the axe . '
