English Translation

When Jack was going down the beanstalk, his house came into sight. Jack said with a loud voice, “Mom, bring a sword. Cut down this beanstalk.” His mother cut down the beanstalk with the sword. Then, the beanstalk made a big sound and fell down. The giant fell out of the beanstalk and died. Jack also fell out of the beanstalk and got injured. His mother said, “Jack, stop taking people’s things. Even if you lived on someone’s money, we cannot become happy.” Jack apologized to the dead giant. Then, Jack started working seriously.
