` It lays as well as it did when it belonged to that paltry knight , ' he said ; ` indeed I think the eggs are heavier than ever . ' The Giantess went away , and soon returned with a little brown hen , which she placed on the table before her husband . ` And now , my dear , ' she said , ' I am going for a walk , if you do n't want me any longer . ' ` Go , ' said the Giant ; ' I shall be glad to have a nap by-and-by . ' Then he took up the brown hen and said to her : ` Lay ! ' And she instantly laid a golden egg . ` Lay ! ' said the Giant again . And she laid another . ` Lay ! ' he repeated the third time . And again a golden egg lay on the table . Now Jack was sure this hen was that of which the fairy had spoken . By-and-by the Giant put the hen down on the floor , and soon after went fast asleep , snoring so loud that it sounded like thunder . Directly Jack perceived that the Giant was fast asleep , he pushed open the door of the wardrobe and crept out ; very softly he stole across the room , and , picking up the hen , made haste to quit the apartment . He knew the way to the kitchen , the door of which he found was left ajar ; he opened it , shut and locked it after him , and flew back to the Beanstalk , which he descended as fast as his feet would move . When his mother saw him enter the house she wept for joy , for she had feared that the fairies had carried him away , or that the Giant had found him . But Jack put the brown hen down before her , and told her how he had been in the Giant 's castle , and all his adventures . She was very glad to see the hen , which would make them rich once more . THE MONEY BAGS .
Jack made another journey up the XXXXX to the Giant 's castle one day while his mother had gone to market ; but first he dyed his hair and disguised himself .
