"See what I have brought you from the top of the beanstalki" he cried to his mother. And then he poured out all the gold on to the kitchen floor.
The poor widow was very glad to see her son again, and now there was money enough to buy all they needed. So as long as the gold lasted
all went well,
But when the bag was nearly empty, Jack made up his mind to climb the beanstalk once more to see what he could find in the Ogre's castle
He did not tell his mother what he meant to do, but slipped out of the house very early one morning and climbed up the same way which he had
gone before. Up and up and up he went till the clouds lay far below, and he reached the top of the beanstalk.
(from Nursery Tales Told to Children by Amy Steedman)
