English Fairy Tales / Английские сказки. Elementary

The sun was shining into part of it, and all the rest[68 - all the rest – остальная часть] was quite dark and shady. So Jack jumped up and dressed himself and went to the window. And what do you think he saw? The beans that his mother threw out of the window into the garden sprang up into a big beanstalk[69 - sprang up into a big beanstalk – проросли в большой бобовый стебель] which went up and up and up till it reached the sky. So the man spoke truth!

The beanstalk grew up quite close past Jack’s window, so Jack opened it and jumped on the beanstalk which was like a big ladder.

So Jack climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed and he climbed till at last he reached the sky. And when he got there, he found a long broad road. So he walked along and he walked along and he walked along till he came to a great big tall house, and on the doorstep there was a great big tall woman.

“Good morning,” says Jack politely.

“Could you give me some breakfast?” He was as hungry as a hunter[70 - as hungry as a hunter – голоден, как охотник].

“You want breakfast, don’t you?” says the great big tall woman. “It’s breakfast you’ll be if you don’t go away.[71 - It’s breakfast you’ll be if you don’t go away. – Ты cам станешь завтраком, если не уйдёшь отсюда.] My husband is an ogre, and he likes to eat boys broiled on toast.”

“Oh! please give me something to eat.

I’m very hungry, really and truly,” says Jack.

The ogre’s wife was a kind woman. So she took Jack into the kitchen and gave him some bread and some cheese and a jug of milk. Suddenly, Jack heard a terrible noise: someone was coming.

“Oh, it’s my husband,” said the ogre’s wife, “what shall I do? Here, come quick and jump in here[72 - jump in here – прыгай сюда].” And she put Jack into the oven just as the ogre came in.

The ogre was really big.

At his belt he had three pigs, and he threw them down on the table and said, “Here, wife, broil me a couple of these for breakfast. Ah! What’s this I smell?[73 - What’s this I smell? – Чем это пахнет?]”

“Nothing, dear,” said his wife. “Here, go and have a wash, and by the time you come back[74 - by the time you come back – к тому времени, как ты вернёшься], your breakfast will be ready for you.
