More interesting short stories for children you can find on our channel. Stay tuned! Once upon a time, there was a boy whose name was Jack. One day Jack set out to seek his fortune. He hadn't gone very far when he met a dog. “Where are you going?“ asked the dog. “I'm going to seek my fortune,“ said Jack. “May I go with you?“ “Yes, if you like.“ So Jack and the dog went on. They hadn't gone very far when they met a cat. “Where are you going, Jack?“ asked the cat. “I'm going to seek my fortune,“ said Jack. “May I go too?“ “Yes, certainly.“ So Jack and the dog and the cat went on. They hadn't gone very much farther when they met a goat. “Where are you going, Jack?“ asked the goat. “I'm going to seek my fortune.“ “May I go too?“ “Yes, if you like.“ So Jack and the cat and the dog and the goat went on. They hadn't gone very much farther when they met a cow. “Where are you going, Jack?“ asked the cow. “I'm going to seek my fortune.“ “May I go with you?“ “Certainly, you may.“ So Jack and the cat and the dog and the goat and the cow went on. They hadn't gone much farther when they met a rooster. “Where are you going, Jack?“ asked the rooster. “I'm going to seek my fortune.“ “May I go with you?“ “Certainly!” said Jack. So they went on. They walked until it got dark, but they couldn't find a place to spend the night. At last, they came to a house. Jack peeped through the window and saw some robbers. They were sitting around a table counting their money. Then Jack told his friends to make the biggest noise they could. The dog barked, the cat meowed, the goat bleated, the cow mooed, the rooster crowed. They made such a dreadful noise that it frightened the robbers, and they all ran away. Jack and his friends came in to have a good sleep. The cat went to sleep on the armchair, and the dog lay under the table. The goat went to the attic, and the cow was sent into the cellar. The rooster sat down on the roof, and Jack went to bed. When the house went dark, the robbers sent one of their men to go back into the house and get the money they had left. But soon he came running back, all scratched and very frightened, and told them an awful story. “I came in and wanted to sit in the armchair. But an old woman there stuck her knitting needles into me.“ That was the cat. “I wanted to take the money from the table. But there was a shoemaker hiding under it, and he stabbed me with his awl.” And that was the dog. “So I ran up the stairs to the attic, and an old woman with a sweeping brush knocked me right down again.” That was the goat. “Then I ran down to the cellar, but there was a man there chopping wood, and he hit me on the head with his axe.” That was the cow. “But the worst one was on the roof. There was a little man up there who shouted, “Throw him up to me! “ So I ran right away from there!” That was the rooster. The robbers were so frightened that they never went there again. And Jack and his friends stayed in the house as long as they liked.
