Summary:
Jack can be good for one day. But two days ... the trouble with not causing trouble is that a lot builds up inside you and gets too big for your guts. Three whole days is a mistake. Mama warns Jack that if he doesn't behave himself, the Bad Man will come and take him away. One day, the Bad Man showed up.
