I usually am known for saying, “Fe fie foe fum. I smell the blood of an Englishman.” But let me say that that is just what I smelled. The day really started out like this: I was in the hillsides with a few friends doing giant work (fighting, battling, roughhousing) when I decided to go home. On my way home I noticed that a little green stub was sticking out from the clouds. Since plants can’t grow from the clouds, I raced home afraid of losing my fortune. I pounded on the door with no reply. So I opened the door and said my famous quote. My wife denied that there was anyone besides her was but I had a feeling. I decided I would try to lure the man out and squash him. The bait for my trap would be the gold that he was after. If a little thing tried to steal something from you would you try to squash it? I counted my gold and feel asleep.

When I woke up I found that the gold was gone!

I roared in outrage and began to hatch a plan. Each time I smelled the blood of an Englishman,  I told my wife to play the golden harp I had. After the harp finished playing, I  heard a clap from the cooking pot and I looked inside and I saw a thief in the pot. I ate the robber. This occurred for several days. The thief that stole my gold must have told other thieves . Eventually the thieves stopped coming, realizing that it was foolish to try to steal from me. Just when I thought the thieves had stopped I smelled another thief. This thief actually smelled like gold, my gold. I told my wife to play a tune. She played a tune that put me to sleep. I’m sure that I would not fall asleep if I wasn’t up all night watching for night thieves.When I woke up the harp was gone. I was enraged and the second I smelled a thief I said my famous quote as I rushed over to the pot, opened the pot, squeezed another thief to death and ate his dead carcass. This occurred several times and I swore that I would get that thief that stole everything from me.

On the third day of waiting for the king of thieves, I came in and I smelled a thief, my harp and my gold. I would not be fooled again, I would catch him! I said my line and threw open the pot to find nobody was there. I decided to lure him out with my goose that laid golden eggs .I told my goose to lay golden eggs and I pretended to fall asleep. I saw the thief come out from the oven tiptoeing, I still pretended to be asleep while he approached me and took my goose and all the eggs it laid. In an Instant I jumped up from the chair as he free fell from the table. The second he hit the ground I got up, got my club and swung at him. He took off running and I realized that this was the boy who’s father I killed and got all my things from. I was just walking and I crushed him on accident. He had all this money a golden harp, and a goose that laid golden eggs. I tore after the thief. He started to climb down the bean stalk and I followed him down. As he jumped off the bean stalk it fell over and I blacked out.I don’t know how, but I somehow I got back into my castle. I began to wonder if that was all a dream. I told my wife to bring me my gold, harp, and my golden egg laying goose. She said a thief had stolen all those things that I had listed and I roared in outrage. She did tell me good news; the beanstalk was destroyed and no thieves could come and rob us again!
