Jack's house
This was Jack's house. This was Jack's rice.
He put it in his house
And everything was nice.
There was a rat.It came to Jack's house.
It ate Jack's rice and said, 'That was nice!'There was a cat.
It came to Jack's house.
It ate the rat and became very fat.
There was a dog.It came to Jack's house.
It chased the fat cat away from the house.
There was Jack.
He was in his house with his dog and his rice and everything was nice.
