Little Jack Horner lived in an old, tumble-down house at the edge of a big wood. Many generations of Horners had lived there before him and had earned their living by chopping wood. Jack was an orphan, and he lived with his grandparents, who took great pains to teach him all that a boy should know.

One day a great tree fell upon Grandpa Horner and crushed his legs, and from that time on he could not work at all, but had to be nursed very carefully. This calamity was a great affliction to the Horners. Grandma Horner had a little money saved up, but that would not last them very long.

Listen to find out what little Jack did to rescue the fortunes of his beloved grandparents and the reward he received.
