00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.639
<v Speaker 1>How Jack went out to seek his fortune, Written by

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:10.359
<v Speaker 1>Flora Annie Steele. Once upon a time there was a

3
00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 1>boy named Jack, and one morning he started to go

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.839
<v Speaker 1>and seek his fortune. He hadn't gone very far before

5
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.920
<v Speaker 1>he met a cat. Where are you going? Jack said

6
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 1>the cat. I'm going to seek my fortune. May I

7
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:31.760
<v Speaker 1>go with you? Yes? Said Jack. The more the merrier,

8
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.920
<v Speaker 1>and so on they went Jack and the cat. They

9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.560
<v Speaker 1>went a little father and they met a dog. Where

10
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:44.359
<v Speaker 1>are you going? Jack said the dog. I'm going to

11
00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>seek my fortune. May I go with you? Yes? Said Jack.

12
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>The more the merrier, and so on they went Jack,

13
00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 1>the cat and the dog. They went a little farther

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>and they met a goat. Where are you going? Jack

15
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>said the goat. I'm going to seek my fortune. May

16
00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I go with you? Yes? Said Jack. The more the merrier,

17
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>and so on they went Jack, the cat, the dog,

18
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and the goat. They went a little father and they

19
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.400
<v Speaker 1>met a bull. Where are you going? Jack said the bull,

20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to seek my fortune. May I go with you? Yes?

21
00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Said Jack. The more the merrier, and so on they

22
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>went Jack, the cat, the dog, the goat and the bull.

23
00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.879
<v Speaker 1>They went a little father and they met a rooster.

24
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>Where are you going, Jack, said the rooster. I'm going

25
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>to seek my fortune. May I go with you? Yes,

26
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>said Jack. The more the merrier, And so on they

27
00:01:57.920 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 1>went Jack, the cat, the dog, the goat, the bull,

28
00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and the rooster. And they went on jiggilty chalting till

29
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.319
<v Speaker 1>it was about dark, and it was time to think

30
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>of someplace where they could spend the night. Now, after

31
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.919
<v Speaker 1>a bit they came in sight of a house, and

32
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 1>Jack told his companions to keep still while he went

33
00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>up and looked in through the window to see if

34
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 1>all was safe. And he saw through the window a

35
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>band of robbers seated at a table, counting over great

36
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:34.319
<v Speaker 1>bags of gold. That gold shall be mine, said Jack

37
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:39.159
<v Speaker 1>to himself, I have found my fortune already. Then he

38
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 1>went back and told his companions to wait till he

39
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 1>gave the word, and then to make all the noise

40
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>they possibly could in their own fashion. So when they

41
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>were already, Jack gave the word, and the cat mewed,

42
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 1>and the dog barked, and the goat bleated, and the

43
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>bull bellowed, and the rooster crowed, and all together they

44
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>made such a terrific hubbub that the robbers jumped up

45
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 1>in a fright and ran away, leaving their gold on

46
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 1>the table. So after a good laugh, Jack and his

47
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.400
<v Speaker 1>companions went in and took possession of the house and

48
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>the gold. Now Jack was a wise boy, and he

49
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.199
<v Speaker 1>knew that the robbers would come back in the dead

50
00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:25.479
<v Speaker 1>of the night to get their gold. And so when

51
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>it came time to go to bed, he put the

52
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>cat in the rocking chair, and he put the dog

53
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>under the table, and he put the goat upstairs, and

54
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>he put the bull in the cellar, and made the

55
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>rooster fly up onto the roof. Then he went to bed. Now,

56
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>sure enough, in the dead of the night, the robbers

57
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.759
<v Speaker 1>sent one man back to the house to look after

58
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>their money. But before long he came back in a

59
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 1>great fright and told them a fearsome tale. I went

60
00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 1>back to the house, said he, and went in and

61
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 1>tried to sit down in the rocking chair. And there

62
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.159
<v Speaker 1>was an old woman knitting there, and she, oh, my,

63
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:09.719
<v Speaker 1>stuck her knitting needles into me. That was the cat,

64
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. Then I went to the table to look

65
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 1>after the money, but there was a shoemaker under the table,

66
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 1>and my, how he stuck his all into me. That

67
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>was the dog, you know. So I started to go upstairs,

68
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 1>but there was a man up there threshing, and goody,

69
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 1>he knocked me down with his flail. That was the goat,

70
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you know. Then I started to go down to the cellar,

71
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>but oh dear me, there was a man down there

72
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>chopping wood, and he knocked me up, and he knocked

73
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>me down, just terrible with his axe. That was the bull,

74
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>you know. But I shouldn't have minded all that if

75
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't been for an awful little fellow on the

76
00:04:56.680 --> 00:05:00.360
<v Speaker 1>top of the house by the kitchen Chimney kept a

77
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>hollering and hollering, cook him in a stew, cook him

78
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>in a stew, cook him in a stew, And that,

79
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:12.439
<v Speaker 1>of course, was the cocker doodle Doo. Then the robbers

80
00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:15.399
<v Speaker 1>agreed that they would rather lose their gold than meet

81
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>with such a fate, so they made off, and Jack

82
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>next morning went gaily home with his booty, and each

83
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 1>of the animals carried a portion of it. The cat

84
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 1>hung a bag on its tail, the dog on his collar,

85
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.879
<v Speaker 1>the goat and the bull on their horns. But Jack

86
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.879
<v Speaker 1>made the rooster carry a golden guinea in its beak

87
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>to prevent it from calling all the time cock a

88
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 1>doodle Do cook him in a stew,
