The twain went out before the door. Off went one head.
‘Spare my life, Jack. I will give you all my money.’
‘No.’
He struck off the other head; he killed him. (Now this was the Copper Castle: so they called it.)
Now Jack goes on to the next, the Silver Castle. A giant with three heads lived there. Jack chose the rusty sword, and struck two heads off.
‘Don’t kill me, Jack; let me live. I will give you the keys of my castle.’
‘Not I,’ said Jack; and off went the other head.
Now Jack goes on to the next, the Golden Castle. And there was a giant with four heads.
‘Have you come here to fight with me?’
‘Yes,’ says Jack.
