00:00Jack and the Beanstalk
00:06Once upon a time, there was a poor woman
00:09who lived in a humble cottage in the countryside
00:13with her only son, whose name was Jack.
00:17They owned a cow that gave more milk
00:20than any other cow in the neighborhood.
00:23And they made butter and cheese with the extra milk
00:27and sold it at the market nearby.
00:30But one day, the cow went dry
00:33and there was no milk to make butter and cheese.
00:37There was not even milk for them to drink.
00:40They eat less and less every day,
00:43but before long they had almost nothing left to eat
00:47and no money to buy food.
00:50Jack was still too young to work,
00:53and his mother had fallen ill.
00:55Jack's mother called him to her bedside.
00:59I am too weak to go out myself, Jack.
01:05So you must take the cow to the market
01:11and sell her there for as much money as you can.
01:17Yes, Mother.
01:19Jack liked going to market,
01:22but he was sad that they would have to sell the cow.
01:26He set out walking slowly
01:29and had gone about half the way
01:32when an old man stopped him.
01:34Hello, do you want to sell that cow?
01:37I will buy her from you
01:39in exchange for these magic beans.
01:43The beans, which were all different colors,
01:46were very beautiful,
01:48and the old man had said they were magic.
01:52So Jack gave him the cow and ran home with the beans.
01:56Look, Mother, what I've got, he cried
01:59as he hurried into her room.
02:01But his mother was furious
02:03when she saw that he had come home
02:06without any money for the cow.
02:09What?
02:10You have sold our good cow for these worthless beans?
02:15And she threw them out of the window.
02:18That evening, Jack and his mother
02:21ate their last crust of bread
02:24and went to bed very sadly,
02:27for they knew that there was nothing left for breakfast.
02:31Jack woke up early the next morning still hungry.
02:35He was so hungry, in fact,
02:37that he jumped out of bed
02:39and went into the garden to look for something to eat.
02:42To his amazement,
02:44he saw that the magic beans had grown into a huge plant
02:49that stretched right up over the roof
02:51and disappeared into the sky.
02:54The stems of the plant were so thickly twisted
02:57that he could climb up them.
02:59As if they were the runs of a ladder,
03:02he began to pull himself up higher and higher
03:05and higher and higher still.
03:07At last he reached the top of the beanstalk.
03:11In front of him was the white road,
03:15which led to a great castle far in the distance.
03:19There was no one to be seen,
03:21so he started to walk along the road.
03:24Maybe someone at the castle would give him something to eat.
03:28In any case, it would certainly be an adventure.
03:32He was hot and tired and hungrier than ever.
03:36By the time he reached the castle,
03:39its great gate was shut,
03:42but Jack knocked on it loudly.
03:45After a while it was opened
03:47by a huge, ugly old woman
03:50who had only one eye in the middle of her forehead.
03:54Aw, aw, she cried.
03:57I need a boy just like you
03:59to clean out for me every day.
04:02Come in, quickly, come in and hide
04:05or my husband will see you and eat you up.
04:08Frightened, Jack hurried inside at once
04:11and told the giantess that he would become her servant
04:15in exchange for something to eat.
04:18She gave him a piece of bread and a glass of buttermilk.
04:22But while he was drinking it,
04:25in the castle the walls began to shake with heavy tread
04:30and Jack could hear the giant coming closer.
04:35Quick, quick, hide behind the cupboard,
04:38whispered the giantess, and Jack slipped out of sight.
04:42As a giant stepped into the room, shouting,
04:46Ha-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ha-ba-ba
04:49Fee-fi-la-fa-fa
04:52I smell the blood of an Englishman
04:55Be he alive or be he dead
04:58He he alive or be he dead
05:01I'll find his bones to make my bread
05:04Fee-fi-fa-ha-ha-ha
05:07Nonsense, it's only a nice young elephant
05:10that I cooked for your breakfast.
05:13Sit down and eat it while it's hot.
05:16So the giant sat down to eat his breakfast
05:20and forgot all about the Englishman
05:23who stood watching him from behind the cupboard.
05:26When he had finished, he called out,
05:29Bring me my magic hen.
05:32I want to see some new golden eggs.
05:36Jack could hardly believe his eyes
05:39when he saw what happened next.
05:41The giantess brought in the little brown hen
05:44and put it on the table in front of her husband.
05:47Aye, you, lay, lay,
05:51the giant commanded,
05:53and bloop, bloop, bloop, she immediately laid.
05:57One, two, and three golden eggs.
06:02The giant put the eggs into his pockets.
06:06Then he settled back in his chair
06:09and soon was snoring so loudly
06:12that the castle walls shook with the noise.
06:15Jack crept out from behind the cupboard,
06:18snatched up the magic hen,
06:21and ran out of the castle as fast as his legs could carry him
06:25with the hen tucked under his arm.
06:27He climbed quickly down the beanstalk
06:30and hurried into the cottage up to his mother's room.
06:33She was very happy to see him again.
06:36She cried with joy, and then she cried some more
06:40because now they would have as many golden eggs as they wanted
06:45and never would be poor again.
06:47But Jack soon began to long for another adventure.
06:51So one morning, he set out again up the beanstalk.
06:55Higher, higher, higher, until he reached the top.
07:01This time, he has dyed his hair black
07:05and the giantess did not recognize him.
07:09Oh, you're just the boy to help me clean out the kitchen.
07:13Run and chase the mice away. Hurry inside.
07:16Or my husband sees you, he will surely eat you up.
07:21Jack just had time to dive behind the woodpile
07:25as the giant came down from his torrent, shouting,
07:29Fie, fie, fie, ha, ha, ha, ha.
07:32I smell the blood of an Englishman.
07:35Be he alive or be he dead,
07:39I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
07:42You stupid old giant.
07:44It's only a fat sow which I grilled for you on this pit.
07:48Sit down and eat it up quickly before it gets cold.
07:51The giant was very pleased.
07:54For after Englishman, grilled pork was his favorite dish.
07:59By the end of the meal, he felt so cheerful
08:04that he called out to his wife.
08:06Woman, bring me my magic harp.
08:11The giantess brought in a beautiful harp
08:15inlaid with rubies and diamonds,
08:18which he had stolen from the fairies many years before.
08:22Play, harp, play, he said,
08:26and the harp played a soft tune
08:29about green mountains and the sea.
08:32No, no, no, play something more merrier than that.
08:37Soon the harp played a happy tune,
08:40which children use to dance.
08:43Now, play me a lullaby now.
08:47The harp played a sweet lullaby,
08:50and soon the giant was fast asleep.
08:54Then Jack crept out from behind the woodpile
08:57and picked up the harp, intending to run away with it.
09:01But as he seized it, it began to shrink.
09:05Master, master, and its strings jangled together
09:10and filled the castle with noise.
09:13The giant woke up to see Jack running out the door with the harp.
09:17He got up with a roar and lumbered after him
09:21along the road that led to the beanstalk.
09:24The earth shook with its heavy tread,
09:27and Jack could tell that he was getting closer all the time.
09:31He was very frightened, but he clutched the harp closer
09:35and ran as fast as he could.
09:38At last he reached the beanstalk
09:41and began climbing down it as fast as he could.
09:45With the harp under his arm, he could hear the giant's shouts
09:49and feel the beanstalk swaying and shaking under his feet.
09:53Jack's mother was out in the yard,
09:56and he shouted to her halfway down the beanstalk,
09:59Quick, mother, bring me an axe!
10:02She ran to the woodshed and came back
10:05with the biggest axe she could find.
10:08Jack leaped to the ground, trussed the harp into her arm,
10:12and began hacking away at the beanstalk with all his might.
10:17Mother, mother, stand clear!
10:20The beanstalk began to crack
10:22and sway from side to side as the giant climbed nearer.
10:26Then Jack slashed through the last stem
10:29and sprang aside just in time
10:32As the beanstalk came crashing down,
10:35bringing with it the giant,
10:37who hit the ground with such a thud that he was killed at once.
10:42Jack had had enough adventures to last him for the rest of his life.
10:47He and his mother lived happily ever after.
