Then he said he would get up and bury Jack. Of course it was Jack she had all the time. He had not long gone when her husband came back. The wife said "are you back again." and he said "sure" I did not not come back since I left first. Then they looked for the sheet and it was gone. The man had to give his house and land to Jack. So Jack lived very happy ever after.
