The History of Jack the Giant-Killer (7)
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 worth speaking of, " answered 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 leather bag inside his coat, and slip the hasty pudding into this bag, while he seemd to put it into his mouth.
