Jack and the Bean stalk

Jack and Beanstalk.

《杰克与魔豆》

Chapter 1 Cow for sale Jack was very very hungry. He searched the house for something to eat. But he didn't find anything. Not even a bean.

第一章 卖牛 杰克饿得不行，他翻遍了 家里找吃的，可什么都没找到，连一粒豆子都没有。

Jack and his mother were very poor. They lived alone in a little cottage. The only thing old was a cow named Milky White. And she was so old she'd run out of milk. Can you make yourself useful? asked Jack's mother, brushing past with a broom. But there's nothing to do, complained Jack. Why don't you milk Milky White? She has no milk left.

杰克和妈妈过得非常穷，母子俩孤零零住在一间小茅屋里，家里唯一 值钱的东西就是一头叫奶白的奶牛，她年纪太大，已经再也产不出奶了。 你就不能找点有用的事做吗？杰克妈妈拿着扫帚擦身而过时问道，可实在没 什么事可做呀，杰克抱怨道。你怎么不去挤奶白的奶？她已经没奶了。

Jack's mother stopped sweeping and sat down. We have nothing! She sighed. Nothing to eat! Nothing to drink! Nothing to sell! Nothing! Except Milky White! Jack pointed out. There was a long pause, followed by a low tummy grumble. Alright! said Jack's mother. Tomorrow you must take Milky White to market. Get the best price you can! Easy!

杰克妈妈停下扫地的动作坐了下来。 我们什么都没有了！她叹气道，没吃的！没喝的！没东西可卖！啥都没了！ 还有奶白呀！杰克提醒道，一阵长长的沉默过后，传来了肚子低低的咕咕叫声。 好吧！杰克妈妈说，明天你把奶白带去集市，尽量卖个好价钱！就这么定了！

Finally, Jack had a job to do. At the first sign of dawn, he ran outside. Morning Milky White, he said. We are going to market. Nguuuu! said Milky White. She didn't understand a word. They hadn't gone far when they met an old man. What a fine cow! he said. Where are you taking her? To market! replied Jack. Then go no further. I will buy her. The old man reached deep into his pockets and took out five dried beans.

终于，杰克有活干了，天刚蒙蒙亮，他就跑了出去。 早呀奶白，他说，我们要去集市哦。 哞~~~！奶白叫了一声，她一个字都听不懂。 他们没走多远，就碰到了一位老爷爷。 这奶牛可真不错！他说，你要带她去哪呀？ 去集市！杰克回答道。 那不用走啦，我买她。 老爷爷把手深深伸进兜里，掏出了五粒干豆子。

Beans? said Jack. Magic Beans! answered the bean. Plant them today and you'll see a beanstalk reaching to the clouds by morning. Wow! That's amazing! said Jack. And you'll give them to me for old Milky White? The old man nodded. It's a deal! Jack cried. He grabbed the beans, handed over Milky White, thanked the man and ran off.

豆子？杰克问道，是魔法豆子哦！老人回答，今天种下，明早你就能看到豆茎长到云里去。 哇！太神奇了！杰克说，你愿意用这些豆子换我的老奶白吗？ 老爷爷点了点头，成交！杰克大喊，他一把抓过豆子，把奶白递过去，谢过老人就跑走了。
