EXCERPT:
Once on a time there was a man and his wife, who had an only son, and his name was Jack. The old dame thought it high time for her son to go out into the world to learn a trade, and bade her husband be off with him.
‘But all you do’, she said, ‘mind you bind him to some one who can teach him to be master above all masters’; and with that she put some food and a roll of tobacco into a bag, and packed them off.
Well! they went to many masters; but one and all said they could make the lad as good as themselves, but better they couldn’t make him.
