made two halves of it. "It is well for you I did not join the body
again," said the head, "or you would have never been able to strike it
off again." "I did not give you the chance of that," said Jack. And he
brought away the great suit with him.

So he brought the cows home at evening, and every one wondered at all
the milk they gave that night. And when the king was sitting at dinner
with the princess, his daughter, and the rest, he said, "I think I only
hear two roars from beyond to-night in place of three."

The next morning Jack went out again with the cows, and he saw another
field full of grass, and he knocked down the wall and let the cows in.
All happened the same as the day before, but the giant that came this
time had two heads, and they fought together, and the little bird came
and spoke to Jack as before. And when Jack had brought the giant down,
he said, "Give me my life, and I'll give you the best thing I have."
"What is that?" says Jack. "It's a suit that you can put on, and you

the hill, and there he got a pair of shoes that when you put them on
would go faster than the wind.

That night the cows gave so much milk that there were not vessels
enough to hold it, and it was given to tenants and to poor people
passing the road, and the rest was thrown out at the windows. I was
passing that way myself, and I got a drink of it.

That night the king said to Jack, "Why is it the cows are giving so
much milk these days? Are you bringing them to any other grass?" "I am
not," said Jack, "but I have a good stick, and whenever they would stop
still or lie down, I give them blows of it, that they jump and leap
over walls and stones and ditches; that's the way to make cows give
plenty of milk."

And that night at the dinner, the king said, "I he
