11 well. "What news, cousin Jack?" asked the giant. Bad news! Bad news ! dear uncle, " replied Jack. " Pooh ! bah ! nonsense, " cried the giant; "what can be bad news for a person like me, who has three heads and can fight five hundred men ?" "Oh, my poor dear uncle !" replied the cunning Jack, " the king's son is coming, with two thousand men, to kill you and destroy your castle !" All the giant's three faces turned pale at once ; and he said, in a trembling voice, "This is bad news, indeed, c...ousin Jack ; but I'll hide in the cellar and you shall lock me in, and keep the key till the prince has gone. " Jack laughed in his sleeve as he turned the key of the cellar upon the giant ; and then he fetched the prince and they feasted and enjoyed themselves, whilst the poor master of the house sat in the cellar shivering and shaking with fear. Next morning Jack helped the prince to a good quantity of the giant's treasure, and sent him forward on his journey. He then let out his " uncle, " who looked about him in rather a bewildered way, and seemed to think that the two thousand men had not done much damage to his castle after all, and that the prince's retinue had very small appe- tites.
