Fi (Fi Fo Fum)

Jack and the Beanstalk: 5. Fee-fi-fo-fum!

Jack then takes the Giant's stolen bag of money down the beanstalk to help the needy villagers. The pathway leads right up to the door of the castle. Jack knocks loudly on it and the door is opened by an enormous woman - a giant! She is so tall she can't see Jack down by her feet and he slips into the castle unseen. Jack doesn't remain undiscovered for long though - the giant soon catches Jack, but he's relieved to discover she's friendly and wishes him no harm.

Her husband is another matter though and Jack hides from the Giant inside the oven. The Giant enters and sniffs the air - he can get the smell of a young boy and he's feeling hungry He knocks loudly on the front door and when it is answered Jack runs between the legs of the giant - she's too tall to see him down by her feet.

The Giant sits down to his meal - ten whole cows and a huge plate of goose liver. When the Giant has finished his food he calls for his bag of money , so that he can count all his coins.

As soon as he has finished counting the Giant falls asleep and Jack emerges from the oven. It turns out the money has been stolen and Jack suggests he takes it back with him to help the needy villagers. The Giant's wife gives him a great big wink - she's happy for Jack to do as he wishes.
