How Jack went to Seek his Fortune by Joseph Jacobs

Watch on YouTube
ONCE on a time there was a boy named Jack, and one morning he started to go and seek his fortune.
He hadn’t gone very far before he met a cat.
‘Where are you going, Jack?’ said the cat.
‘I am going to seek my fortune.’
‘May I go with you?’
‘Yes,’ said Jack, ‘the more the merrier.’
So on they went, jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt.
They went a little further and they met a dog.
‘Where are you going, Jack?’ said the dog.
‘I am going to seek my fortune.’
‘May I go with you?’
‘Yes,’ said Jack, ‘the more the merrier.’
So on they went, jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt.
They went a little further and they met a goat.
‘Where are you going, Jack?’ said the goat.
‘I am going to seek my fortune.’
‘May I go with you?’
‘Yes,’ said Jack, ‘the more the merrier.’
So on they went, jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt.
