Modiga Jack men det är något oklart i berättelsen om guldet och dess ursprung här. I originalet har jätten en random gås som lägger guldägg, här har jätten stulit guld... Men hur då? Nja... Detta var nog en miss men läskig var den dock.

Another twisted and morbid fairy tale by Wiley Blevins. Nothing really to say except, "Alrighty then".
