  1. (continued from previous page)
    The crame spilled and she said “Ha Ha it’s good feedin in havin you now.” the cat cried and the dog barked and the old woman screamed but the witch beat away until there was no more noise. She brought down the bag and when she saw what she had done she went and drowned herself.
    Jack got all the witch had and lived happy from that day to this.
    (At the end of the story was a rhyme telling a how the storyteller came home and all the presents he had for the listener but the dogs in the house (named) came out and took them off him)
