The next morning Jack went out again, and all happened as before, and the giant this time had four heads, and Jack made eight halves of them.  And the giant had told him to go to a little blue door in the side of 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 hear no roars at all.”

The next morning, the king and the princess were watching at the window to see what would Jack do when he got to the field.  And Jack knew they were there, and he got a stick, and began to batter the cows, that they went leaping and jumping over stones, and walls, and ditches.  “There is no lie in what Jack said,” said the king then.

Now there was a great serpent at that time used to come every seven years, and he had to get a kines daughter to eat, unless she would have some good man to fight for her.  And it was the princess at the place Jack was had to be given to it that time, and the king had been feeding a bully underground for seven years, and you may believe he got the best of everything, to be ready to fight it.

And when the time came, the princess went out, and the bully with her down to the shore, and when they got there what did he do, but to tie the princess to a tree, the way the serpent would be able to swallow her easy with no delay, and he himself went and hid up in an ivy-tree.  And Jack knew what was going on, for the princess had told him about it, and had asked would he help her, but he said he would not.  But he came out now, and he put on the suit he had taken from the first giant, and he came by the place the princess was, but she didn’t know him.  “Is that right for a princess to be tied to a tree?” said Jack.  “It is not, indeed,” said she, and she told him what had happened, and how the serpent was coming to take her.  “If you will let me sleep for awhile with my head in your lap,” said Jack, “you could wake me when it is coming.”  So he did that, and she awakened him when she saw the serpent coming, and Jack got up and fought with it, and drove it back into the sea.  And then he cut the rope that fastened her, and he went away.  The bully came down then out of the tree, and he brought the princess to where the king was, and he said, “I got a friend of mine to come and fight the serpent to-day, where I was a little timorous after being so long shut up underground, but I’ll do the fighting myself to-morrow.”
