    Jack and the Stalk
    The stalk had spontaneously sprouted up into the sky with the first water that was sprinkled on it. After the first spy sent to climb it returned back down with a stagger before falling down dead, however, the squadron of adventures was now more hesitant to climb. They were stallin but someone would have to climb it again. Only small Jack stepped forward. When his spouse squeaked her surprise Jack didn’t even turn. He just stammered that he would climb the stalk and report back to the squad as soon as he could. And so he left while the others turned on the spotlight to allow him to see his way back if he had to return in the evening.
    Jack climbed the lower part of the stalk like it was a staircase. As he got higher he jumped and climbed as if he were a squirrel. Once he almost missed a branch and had to swing his arms wildly before he could stabilize his body. Then he squatted down to rest. After he began to climb again everyone lost sight of him as he was too far away.
    Hours later Jack came flying down the stalk yelling for everyone to cut it down. When they saw the Giant coming after Jack from above, they obeyed and started stabbing and chopping the stalk. After Jack was on the ground they finished chopping and ran to the sides. They looked up to see the Giant lose the stability of the stalk and fall to the ground. When he landed, several adventurers barely missed being squashed. As they all stood looking in awe Jack pulled a strange goose and a golden harp out of his jacket.
    杰克和莖
    只灑了一次水,莖便自然地迅速長(zhǎng)到天上去了。第一個(gè)被派去爬莖的間諜回到地面時(shí)一個(gè)踉蹌倒地死了,之后這隊(duì)冒險(xiǎn)者就更加猶豫不敢再爬了。他們拖延著,但總得有人再爬上去。只有小個(gè)子杰克站了出來(lái)。他的配偶驚得短促地尖叫起來(lái),杰克甚至都沒(méi)有轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身來(lái),他只是結(jié)結(jié)巴巴地說(shuō)他想爬到莖上去并盡快回來(lái)向小隊(duì)報(bào)告。就這樣他走了,其他人打開(kāi)聚光燈讓他看清回來(lái)的路,萬(wàn)一他得晚上回來(lái)。
    杰克爬莖的下半部分時(shí)感覺(jué)像是爬樓梯。爬到高一點(diǎn)的地方時(shí)他又跳又爬,就好象是只松鼠。有一下他差點(diǎn)沒(méi)抓住一根分枝,他得使勁擺手臂以穩(wěn)定自己的身體,然后他蹲下來(lái)休息。等他再開(kāi)始爬的時(shí)候,大家都看不見(jiàn)他了,因?yàn)樗呀?jīng)爬得太高了。
    幾個(gè)小時(shí)之后,杰克從莖上飛著跑下來(lái),叫喊著要大家快把莖砍倒。他們看見(jiàn)巨人正從上面追著杰克,所以聽(tīng)了他的話,開(kāi)始對(duì)莖又刺又砍。等杰克回到地上,他們砍完并向四面八方跑掉了。他們抬頭一看,發(fā)現(xiàn)巨人在莖上失去穩(wěn)定并掉在了地上。在他落地的時(shí)候,幾個(gè)冒險(xiǎn)者差點(diǎn)沒(méi)被壓碎。他們站在那里敬畏地看著,杰克從他的夾克里掏出一只奇怪的鵝和一支金色的豎琴。
