My name is Jack and I live with my mother in a small house. We are very poor and my mother is always telling me off for being lazy. "Get a job", she says, but with the high rate of unemployment, that has proved to be very difficult.
I have heard of an evil Ogre who lives not far from here and who is reputed to have a goose that lays golden eggs, a large bag of money and a golden harp which he stole from the peasants many years ago. I have made up my mind to try and recover these treasures and take them home to my mother, but I can only carry one item at a time.
