About a boy named jack killed seven flies whilst eating his food and called it seven in one blow. He came across a giant and the giant heard seven in one blow and asked for 2 challenges. He picked a stone and squeezed until water came out. Jack took cheese and sqeezed that. Then the giant throu a rock realy far. Jack throu a bird and it flew away. The giant got jealous and wanted to squeeze him . Luckily he ran away.

Such a good story. Very funny, and not always what you expect. Nothing to do with the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.
