Jill's Mother

Jill, you know you're my favorite daughter. So Jill, go fill this pale with water.

Jill

But mom... I'm kind of om...

Jill's Mother

Yes, I know you're my only daughter. So you will get up and get the water.

Jill

Mother, I'll go, so that's enough! Goodness. Golly, my mother is tough!

Jill's Mother

Jill will be fast and so very quick and if it gets dark, here's a candlestick.

Jill

I'm going. I'm going. There's no need for crowing.

Jill's Mother

Don't forget a match - and don't forget to latch...

Jack

Hello Jill and how are you?

Jill

Hi Jack. To be honest, I am quite blue.

Jack

What do you know, Jill. I am too!

Jill

Tell me Jack, what's wrong...

Jack

Boo hoo!!! Jill, you see, today has been bad. I awoke to a mouse and mother was mad. She screamed, it squeeked and went out the door.

Jill

Well...

Jack

That's not all! There's a whole lot more. Bessie, my cow then had to be sold before days' end for six pieces of gold. We were on our way to the market and I met an old lady with beans in her hand. I then sold Bessie. The lady was kind. I sold her for beans. Was I out of my mind? The beans she gave, I took to mother. Why did I do that?

Jill

Oh brother!

Jack

My mother was mad, but then got sad. So Jill, what kind of day have you had?

Jill

Nothing like that happend to me. I've been really bored and quite lazy. Oh, look, my friend, we're at the well. Let's have some fun, Jack. Farewell!

Jack

Hold on Jill. We can have some fun, but we're on a hill top and should not run!

Jill

I know how we can have a good time. You can do whatever I rhyme.

Jack

Oh, that sounds great! I will do whatever you state! Alright Jill, I'll play along. Maybe you should rhyme - in song?

Jill

No. So - first you'll do a simple trick. You must jump a burning stick. Hurry Jack! You'd best be quick! Quick to jump that candlestick! Jack, be nimble. Jack, be quick. Jack, jump over the candlestick! Good job Jack, but up comes the moon. We have to hurry and be home soon.

Jack

I'll get the water and be very quick.

Jill

Jack! Watch out for the candlestick!

Jack

Uh oh!

Jill

Oh no!

Jack

Whoa!

Jill

That was fun Jack. Do that again.

Jack

Not today Jill, rest on that bin. I'll go up and fill the pale.

Jill

I'd rather softy sit - maybe here, on this bale.

Jack

Alright Jill, I wasn't slow. Just like you said, we've got to go.

Jill

Thank you Jack for playing tonight. Let's go now, while there still some light.

Jill's Mother

You're finally back, my lovely daughter. Thank you so much for getting the water.

Jill

We have a little story to tell about Jack and me at the water well. You see, Jack

Jack

And Jill

Jill

Went up the hill

Jack

To fetch a pale of water

Jill

Jack fell down and broke his crown.

Jack

Jill came tumbling after.

Jill's Mother

Daughter - it sounds like you both had fun.

Jill

Yes, we did.

Jack

But now, I must run. Goodnight and sweet dreams to both of you. I'll see you tomorrow. I bid you adieu!

Jill

Goodnight my friend. I'll see you soon. Mother I'm tired. I'm going to bed.

Jill's Mother

Goodnight Jill. Go rest your head.
