   Once upon a time there lived a man who had one son. The parents had a great hatred for this son and they were not giving him enough to eat. The son was very thin and hungry. His name was Jack. The man had a large red bull and jack used to get food out of the bull's horns. Then he began to grow very fat. The man wondered from whom was the son getting food from.
