I am not quite certain , ' said the man , ` but I think I see something coming in the far distance . ' ` Then we shall do well to fly on a little farther , ' said the Eagle , and away it went . ` Do you see anything now ? ' it said , after some time had gone by . ` Yes ; now they are close behind us , ' said the man . ` Then throw down the splinters of wood which you took from beneath the gray stone by the stable door , ' said the Eagle . The man did this , and no sooner had he flung them down than they grew up into a great thick wood , and Farmer Weatherbeard had to go home for an axe to cut his way through it . 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 XXXXX 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 .
