Jack Hides Again

Jack Hides Again

Jack walked along the road. Near the ogre's house, he ducked behind a bush. He waited until the ogre's wife came out.

She carried a pail. " She's going to the well for water, " Jack thought. He waited another minute. " Now! " He slipped into the house.

He spotted a large copper tub. It was filled with laundry. Jack climbed under the clothes. Soon he heard a sound.

Thump! Thump! Thump! The ogre sniffed the air. He stomped around the room.

" Fee, fi, fo, fum! " the ogre cried. " I smell an English boy! " The ogre sniffed all around.
