Then , getting out of bed , he groped about the room , and at last found a large thick billet of wood . He laid it in his own place in the bed , and then hid himself in a dark corner of the room . The giant , about midnight , entered the apartment , and with his bludgeon struck many blows on the bed , in the very place where Jack had laid the log ; and then he went back to his own room , thinking he had broken all Jack 's bones . Early in the morning Jack put a bold face upon the matter , and walked into the giant 's room to thank him for his lodging . The giant started when he saw him , and began to stammer out : `` Oh ! dear me ; is it you ? Pray how did you sleep last night ? Did you hear or see anything in the dead of the night ? '' `` Nothing to speak of , '' said Jack , carelessly ; `` a rat , I believe , gave me three or four slaps with its tail , and disturbed me a little ; but I soon went to sleep again . '' The giant wondered more and more at this ; yet he did not answer a word , but went to bring two great bowls of hasty-pudding for their breakfast . Jack wanted to make the giant believe that he could eat as much as himself , so he contrived to button a leathern bag inside his coat , and slip the hasty-pudding into this bag , while he seemed to put it into his mouth . When breakfast was over he said to the giant : `` Now I will show you a fine trick . I can cure all wounds with a touch ; I could cut off my head in one minute , and the next put it sound again on my shoulders . You shall see an example . '' He then took hold of the knife , ripped up the leathern bag , and all the hasty-pudding tumbled out upon the floor . `` Ods splutter hur nails ! '' cried the Welsh giant , who was ashamed to be outdone by such a little fellow as Jack , `` hur can do that hurself '' ; so he snatched up the knife , plunged it into his own stomach , and in a moment dropped down dead . Jack , having hitherto been successful in all his undertakings , resolved not to be idle in future ; he therefore furnished himself with a horse , a cap of knowledge , a sword of sharpness , shoes of swiftness , and an invisible coat , the better to perform the wonderful enterprises that lay before him . He traveled over high hills , and on the third day he came to a large and spacious forest through which his road lay . Scarcely had he entered the forest when he beheld a monstrous giant dragging along by the hair of their heads a handsome knight and his lady .
Jack alighted from his horse , and tying him to an oak tree , put XXXXX his invisible coat , under which he carried his sword of sharpness .
