杰克与魔豆

Jack is a young boy. He lives with his mother. They live in a small house. The family is poor. Their cow, Betsy, gives them milk.

One day, Betsy has no milk. Jack and his mother are hungry.

"Jack, we need money," says his mother. "Take Betsy to the market and sell her."

Jack isn't happy because he likes Betsy. Sadly, he walks her to the market. A man is standing on the road. He wants Betsy. He has five beans in his hand. He shows them to Jack.

"These beans are special. They can grow very high," he says. "Do you want them?"

Jack likes the beans, so he gives Betsy to the man. At home, his mother sees the beans. She is very angry.

"Jack, we need money!" she says. "What can we buy with beans?"

Jack goes to bed. He is very sad. His mother throws the beans out the window. Soon, a beanstalk is growing. It grows and grows and grows and grows! Now, it is in the sky!

Jack wakes up early. He sees the beanstalk. Where does it go? Jack goes up the beanstalk. He goes up and up and up. Finally, he is at the top.

A giant lives in the sky. He has a big house and a lot of money, but he

isn't nice. He eats people! Jack doesn't know the giant. He goes into the

house.

Jack looks around the house. There are tables, chairs, rugs, and a fireplace. Everything is so big! Then, the giant's wife sees Jack. She is old and kind.

"Who are you?" she asks Jack.

"I am Jack," he says. "Can you give me some food? I am hungry."

The giant's wife feeds Jack. Her food is good. Just then, a door opens. The giant is coming into the house!

"Quick, Jack, get into the pot," says the giant's wife. "The giant likes to eat boys!"

The giant has a goose. He puts it on the table. The goose lays an egg. It is made of gold! Jack sees the egg.

"I want that goose," he thinks. "I can sell the golden eggs. Then, Mother and I can buy food."

The giant goes out of the kitchen. Soon he comes back. He puts a golden harp on the table.

"I don't feel happy," he says. "Harp, sing me a song!"

The harp sings very well. The giant smiles, and eats his breakfast. Jack is also listening to the harp.

"The sound is really beautiful," thinks Jack. "I can give the harp to Mother. Then, she won't be angry with me."

Now, the giant feels sleepy. He closes his eyes. Soon he is

sleeping. Jack walks to the table. He takes the goose and the harp. They are also sleeping. Quietly, he takes them to the beanstalk. Suddenly, the harp wakes up.

"Help! Help! Somebody is taking me away!" it cries.

The giant wakes up. He looks out the window and sees Jack. Quickly, he runs after him. Jack goes down the beanstalk. He is very fast. Above him, the giant is going down the beanstalk. Will he catch Jack?

Now, Jack is at the bottom. He takes an ax and cuts the beanstalk. Whack! Whack! Whack! Slowly, the beanstalk falls over. Far above, the giant cries out. He falls to the ground. Whoomp! The ground shakes. The giant lies there still. He is dead!

Jack and his mother now have food and money. They live happily ever after.

杰克是一个年轻小伙子，他与妈妈相依为命。两人同住在一间小屋子里，家里很穷。他们养了一只母牛，名叫贝琪，这只牛供给他们牛奶喝。

有一天，贝琪没有奶水了。杰克和妈妈肚子饿坏了。

“杰克，我们需要钱。”妈妈说。“把贝琪带到市场去卖了吧。”

杰克很不开心，因为他喜欢贝琪。他难过地带着贝琪走到市场。一名男子站在路上，他想要贝琪。他手中有五颗豆子，便把这些豆子拿给杰克看。

“这些豆子可是很特别的哟，它们会长得很高，”他说。“你想要吗？”

杰克很喜欢这些豆子，于是就把贝琪给了这个男子。回到家，妈妈看到这些豆子非常生气。

“杰克，我们需要的是钱！”她说。“我们能用豆子买什么东西呢？”

杰克伤心地睡觉去了。他的妈妈把豆子丢到窗外。很快地，一株豆茎长出来。它长呀长的，现在已经长到天上去了！

杰克很早就醒了，他看见了豆茎。这株豆茎会通往哪里去呢？杰克沿着豆茎爬上去。他爬呀爬的，最后爬到了顶端。

天上有一位巨人住在那里，他有一间好大好大的屋子和好多好多的钱，但是他却不是个好人，因为他会吃人！杰克并不认识这个巨人，所以走进了这间屋子。

杰克看了看屋子里的四周，有桌子、椅子、地毯，还有一个壁炉。每一样东西都好大！
