So the Eagle flew on a long , long way , but then it grew tired and sat down on a fir tree . ` Do you see anything ? ' it asked . ` Yes ; I am not quite certain , ' said the man , ` but I think I can catch a glimpse of something far , far away . ' ` Then we shall do well to fly on a little farther , ' said the Eagle , and it set off again . ` Do you see anything now ? ' it said after some time had gone by . ` Yes ; he is close behind us now , ' said the man . ` Then you must fling down the great stone which you took away from the stable door , ' said the Eagle . The man did so , and it turned into a great high mountain of stone , which Farmer Weatherbeard had to break his way through before he could follow them . But when he had got to the middle of the mountain he broke one of his legs , so he had to go home to get it put right . While he was doing this the Eagle flew off to the man 's home with him , and with the hare , and when they had got home the man went to the churchyard , and had some Christian earth laid upon the hare , and then it turned into his son Jack . When the time came for the fair the youth turned himself into a light-coloured horse , and bade his father go to the market with him . ` If anyone should come who wants to buy me , ' said he , ` you are to tell him that you want a hundred dollars for me ; but you must not forget to take off the halter , for if you do I shall never be able to get away from Farmer Weatherbeard , for he is the man who will come and bargain for me . ' And thus it happened . A horse-dealer came who had a great fancy to bargain for the horse , and the man got a hundred dollars for it , but when the bargain was made , and Jack 's father had got the money , the horse-dealer wanted to have the halter . ` That was no part of our bargain , ' said the man , ` and the halter you shall not have , for I have other horses which I shall have to sell . ' So each of them went his way . But the horse dealer had not got very far with Jack before he resumed his own form again , and when the man got home he was sitting on the bench by the stove . The next day he changed himself into a brown horse and told his father that he was to set off to market with him .
` If a man should come who wants to buy me , ' said Jack , ` you are XXXXX tell him that you want two hundred dollars , for that he will give , and treat you besides ; but whatsoever you drink , and whatsoever you do , do n't forget to take the halter off me , or you will never see me more . '
