“His father is out cutting wood, so he goes to his mother.
'Mother, I must away and see the world, or I shall go mad.'
Says his mother, 'If you must go, go you must, and God go with you! I will bake you a cake. Will you have a little cake with my blessing, or a big cake with my cursing?'
Says Jack, 'Make me a big cake, mother. It will last longer.'
His mother makes him a big cake, and he sets out. And she is standing on the roof of the house, calling curses after him as far as she can see him.”
