reward to his mother. His uncle gave him a big piece of beef. Jack
tied the beef with a rope. This should work. I should bring it back
to mother. Jack dragged the beef with the rope tied around it. But
the beef was all scratched and worn down from the walk. It wasnt
edible. Mother sighed and said, Jack, you should have slung it
over your shoulder. And his mother reminded him, this was the
