Now rich, Jack resolves to bathe every day. Undeterred, Jack decides to bathe, and then climbs up and collects the leaves himself, as the giant is now unable to smell him since he is clean. Jack's mother then ascends herself after accusing Jack of being smelly, but is eaten.

Jack's mother sends him up to fetch them, but when Jack hears the giant threaten to eat him after the giant smells him, he descends without collecting any of the gold.

In Jack and the Beanstalk, the beanstalk grows golden leaves towards the top. Her fairy godmother grants this wish and marries her to a simple, regular jam-maker. When the prince removes the head of the second sister and makes to do the same to Cindy, she wishes to be married instead to a decent man. However, when the prince sees that the shoe fits one of the sisters, he decides not to marry her, and instead chops off her head on the spot while she is standing. In Cinderella, the plot stayed true to the original tale until one of the ugly sisters switches her shoe with the one Cinderella left behind at the ball. There are a total of six poems in the book, each of the featured fairy tales humorously deviating from the traditional version. It is the shortest children's book Dahl ever wrote. The poems are illustrated by Quentin Blake. A parody of traditional folk tales in verse, Dahl gives a re-interpretation of six well-known fairy tales, featuring surprise endings in place of the traditional happily-ever-after finishes. Be careful, as it gets very hot and can splutter.Revolting Rhymes is a 1982 collection of Roald Dahl poems first published in 1982 originally under the title Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes.
