     Jak felt awful, no matter how many golden humming birds he had. He could not comprehend how bad he felt. "We have to do something to make this up", said Jak. "Maybe.... I dont know." "Well, I do.", said Blue Bell. "We go to the 'cloud' and apologize immediately. We can't just sit here and watch the body rot." "You're crazy!", said Jak. " We can't just go up there.and say 'How do you do? We killed your friend! So sorry!' They'd kill us!" "Well, it's better than never letting them find out.", said Blue Bell. "C'mon!" She dragged Jak to the bean stalk and Ham and Grits followed. "There must be another bean around here.", Blue Bell said. They shook every leave and tore through every vine. As soon as Blue Bell found one, Jak bumped into her and she dropped the bean. "Hey!", she said, "Watch where your going!" "Me?" said Jak, "If you hadn't...... If you were never..... AH, I HATE YOU!" As soon as the argument heated up, a giant bean stalk had sprouted and grown ten thousand feet tall in five seconds flat. "Shut up and climb!", Jak said. Blue Bell didn't want to start, so she ignored it. All four of the children climbed to the top of the bean stalk. Jak had reached the top first. "Took ya long enough.", he said to Blue Bell. "Zip it.", she said. The group walked until they reached a giant castle. "I can't do this.", said Jak. "You can, will, and I'm going to make you.", said Blue Bell. Immediately, a giant shouted, "FE FI FO FATE, WE HAVE GUESTS, OPEN THE GATE." Two giant iron gates open up and the group went inside. "WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU HAVE WITH US?", said a giant, who looked like a woman. "We came to tell you that we.... we.... We killed a giant!", said Jak. As it turns out, the giant was not just a lady. She was a mother.
