Jack was a giddy, thoughtless boy, but very kind-hearted and affectionate. It had been a long, hard winter, and it didn’t take long for the poor woman to start suffering from fever and ague, which is illnesses involving fever and shivering. As yet, Jack was too young to work, and by degrees the two grew dreadfully poor. The widow saw that there was no means of keeping Jack and herself from starvation but by selling her cow; so one morning she said to her son, ‘I am too weak to go myself, Jack, so you must take the cow to market for me, and sell her.’Jack readily agreed and that’s when everything began to go from bad to worse! What happened you ask…? Well many things happened, some silly and some serious and some altogether surprising.
