Jack the Giant Slayer Page #4

... your light and I'm lost.

Well, come in, please.

I'm Jack.

How do you do, Jack?

What are you doing out

in this nasty weather?

Well, it wasn't like this when I set out.

The storm...

- ... just crept up on me.

- What, and you just saw my light?

Yes.

You were riding alone?

At the moment.

Do you do that often?

Is this your farm?

Yes.

No. Sort of.

My uncle and I are tenant farmers.

We just work the land.

And, uh, these books?

Yeah, they're mine.

It's unusual...

- ... for a farm boy.

- Judging by the cover...

... are we?

What do you like reading?

I like a good adventure.

In books or in life?

Till I can find a way to get off this farm,

I have to settle for books.

And, uh, that mark on your face...

... was that an adventure?

I, um, got in a fight today. At the market.

What about?

I was defending the honor

of the princess.

Princess? Really?

You sure you didn't read that

in one of your books?

- How did you know it was the princess?

- I didn't.

Just saw she needed help.

It wasn't until the Guardians showed up...

... that I realized who she was.

Anyway, it happened very fast.

I wouldn't blame her

if she didn't remember me.

What are you running away from?

Who says I'm running away?

Maybe I'm running toward something.

Just looking for an adventure of my own.

Well, so far you've run toward

the light on my porch...

... Your Highness.

Please stand.

- You must think I'm very silly.

- No.

I just wish that...

Well, earlier...

- ... at the market...

- Thank you...

... for defending my honor, Jack.

Anytime.

Here, I'll take your coat.

And...

... until you find your own adventure...

"The Giants of Gantua."

- My father used to read that to me.

That was always my mother's job.

I hope you find what you're looking for,

Your Highness.

Call me Isabelle.

Isabelle.

Isabelle!

Jack!

No!

Help! Hurry!

Get me out!

Jack! Please!

No!

Unh!

- Jack! You came back!

No, no, no! No!

What is it? What's wrong?

Heights. I'm not wildly keen on heights.

Hold on, I'm coming!

It's stuck!

Unh!

Aah!

Hold on!

No!

Jack!

What were you doing

with my daughter's bracelet?

Hmm?

Down!

Hmm?

No, I didn't steal it.

I promise. She showed up at my house

looking for shelter.

I was trying to help her,

Your Majesty, and then...

And then?

All this happened.

Wait a minute,

I recognize you from the market.

Your name is, uh, Jack.

- Let him up.

- Beans.

And where is your...

... house, Jack?

Elmont...

... assemble a team.

Men who can climb.

Yes, sire.

I'd like to accompany them.

With due respect...

... this mission is likely to be arduous.

Best left to the professionals.

I would like the chance
