The next day,he met his uncle,he did as the men told him.The bow was so long that it made his uncle feel surprised and escaped away soon .When Jack looked up,he found his uncle gone .So he asked the passer,"Which month did he go away?杰克给人鞠躬,飞快地一点头,就算完了.大家都怪他不懂礼貌.于是便有好心的人教他说,“下次鞠躬的时候,你就在心里数:正月、二月、……一直数到十二月为止,然后再直起身来.这样,礼节就周全了.”第二天,杰克见到他的叔叔,他便如法炮制.这躬鞠得太久,叔叔吃了一惊,赶紧逃开了.杰克抬头一看,其叔早已不知去向,他便问过路人:“我叔叔几月走的?”
