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 Beanstalk to the Giant 's castle one day while his mother had gone to market ; but first he dyed his hair and disguised himself .

She bade him stay quite still there , or the Giant would eat him . Then the Giant came in saying : ` Fe , fa , fi-fo-fum , I smell the breath of an Englishman . Let him be alive or let him be dead , I 'll grind his bones to make my bread . ' ` Nonsense ! ' said the wife , ` it is only a roasted bullock that I thought would be a tit-bit for your supper ; sit down and I will bring it up at once . ' The Giant sat down , and soon his wife brought up a roasted bullock on a large dish , and they began their supper . Jack was amazed to see them pick the bones of the bullock as if it had been a lark . As soon as they had finished their meal , the Giantess rose and said : ` Now , my dear , with your leave I am going up to my room to finish the story I am reading . If you want me call for me . '
` First , ' answered the Giant , ` bring me my money bags , XXXXX I may count my golden pieces before I sleep . '
