The Ogre Chases Jack

The Ogre Chases Jack

The golden harp played on and on. Jack peeked at the ogre. He was listening with his eyes closed.

Soon the ogre's snores shook the house. " Zzz . . . Zzz . . . " " Whew. " His wife sighed. " He's finally asleep! "

" Now! " Jack thought as the woman left the room. He jumped from the tub. Creeping like a mouse, he reached the table. Then—shloop! He grabbed the golden harp.

But Jack wasn't ready for what happened next. " Master! Master! " the harp sang loudly. " Help! There's a thief! "

" Oh no! " Jack thought. Clutching the harp tightly, he ran for the door.
