Jack and Beanstalk (6)

Jack and Beanstalk (6)

And when he got there he found a long broad road going as straight as a dart.

So he walked along and he walked along and he walked along till he came to a great big tall house, and on the doorstep there was a great big tall woman.

" Good morning, mum, " says Jack, quite polite-like.
" Could you be so kind as to give me some breakfast ? "

For he hadn't had anything to eat, you know, the night before and was as hungry as a hunter.

" It's breakfast you want, is it ? " says the great big tall woman.
" It's breakfast you'll be if you don't move off from here. My man is an ogre and there's nothing he likes better than boys broiled on toast. You'd better be moving on or he'll soon be coming. "
