"So naturally Jack climbs the beanstalk, and at the top of it, once he pushes through into the clouds, he finds a house big enough to fit a giant. Inside, he meets a giant woman, who gives him food and helps him hide when her husband comes home. Um, in the version I heard as a kid, the giant comes home and says, 'fee, fi, fo, fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he alive or be he dead I'll grind his bones to make my bread.' Jotunns don't talk like that in real life. But anyway, the wife hides Jack and the giant sits down and, like, counts his gold until he falls asleep at the table, at which point Jack steals his gold and runs away home."
