1. What shall we do?
Jack lives in a small village with his Ma and Daisy the cow.
One day Jack is enjoying a wonderful day-dream, full of food and tasty things to eat. But when Jack's mother wakes him he is confronted by reality: they are very poor and there is hardly anything left to eat at home.
If they can't think of something soon they'll starve.
