Jack Escapes

Soon the ogre's wife left the room. Jack stayed hidden in the oven. He watched the ogre.

Jack knew what was about to happen. First, the ogre's head began to nod. Then, " Zzz. . . Zzz . . . Zzz . . . " The whole house shook from the snoring.

Jack slipped out of the oven. Moving quickly, he grabbed the hen. Then he raced for the door.

Jack stayed very quiet. But the hen didn't stay quiet. Instead it made a lot of noise. Cackle! Cackle! Cackle!

The ogre woke up. He wiped his eyes. Jack darted behind the door.
