Jack stole softly out of the wardrobe , and taking up the bags of money -LRB- which were his very own , because the Giant had stolen them from his father -RRB- , he ran off , and with great difficulty descending the Beanstalk , laid the bags of gold on his mother 's table . She had just returned from town , and was crying at not finding Jack . ` There , mother , I have brought you the gold that my father lost . ' ` Oh , Jack ! you are a very good boy , but I wish you would not risk your precious life in the Giant 's castle . Tell me how you came to go there again . ' And Jack told her all about it . Jack 's mother was very glad to get the money , but she did not like him to run any risk for her . But after a time Jack made up his mind to go again to the Giant 's castle . THE TALKING HARP . So he climbed the Beanstalk once more , and blew the horn at the Giant 's gate . The Giantess soon opened the door ; she was very stupid , and did not know him again , but she stopped a minute before she took him in . She feared another robbery ; but Jack 's fresh face looked so innocent that she could not resist him , and so she bade him come in , and again hid him away in the wardrobe . By-and-by the Giant came home , and as soon as he had crossed the threshold he roared out : ` 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 . ' ` You stupid old Giant , ' said his wife , ` you only smell a nice sheep , which I have grilled for your dinner . ' And the Giant sat down , and his wife brought up a whole sheep for his dinner . When he had eaten it all up , he said : ` Now bring me my harp , and I will have a little music while you take your walk . ' The Giantess obeyed , and returned with a beautiful harp . The framework was all sparkling with diamonds and rubies , and the strings were all of gold .
` This is one XXXXX the nicest things I took from the knight , ' said the Giant . '
