    The farmer said that if any one would make her laugh and talk, he would give them a bag of gold. As Jack was passing down the farmer’s house with the ass on his back. This girl was looking out the window. So she began to laugh and talk. Then the girl was alright. So Jack got the big bag of gold and he was rich for ever.
