The History of Jack the Giant-Killer (6)

  Jack took off his clothesquickly, but though he was weary he could not go to sleep.

  Soon after this he heard the Giant walking to and fro in the next room, and saying to himself :
 " Though here you lodge with me
   this night,
   You shall not see the morning
   light ;
   My club shall dash your brains
   out quite. "

  " Say you so ? " thought Jakc.
  " Are these your tricks upon travellers ? But I hope to prove as cunning as you are. "

  Then, getting out of bed, hegroped about the room,and at last a large trick billet of wood.
  He laid it in his own place in the bed, and then hid himself in a dark corner of the room.
