Jack and the Beanstalk in English

Transcript

00:00Once upon a time, there was a little boy, Jack, who lived with his mother in a small

00:19house near the village.

00:22They had no source of earnings.

00:24They had sold everything to buy a living.

00:28All they were left with was a cow who gave them milk.

00:32They were so poor that many times, Jack and his mother slept on an empty stomach.

00:44Jack used to milk the cow every morning, but the cow had to be fed on fodder to give milk,

00:50and they had no money.

00:52So Jack's mother thought of something.

00:55She went to Jack and told him to sell their only cow.

01:00All right, mother.

01:02Jack went to the market to sell the cow, and on the way, he met a funny-looking old man.

01:09Good morning, Jack.

01:11Good morning.

01:13Where are you taking this cow, little boy?

01:17I'm going to the market to sell this cow.

01:20Oh, child, you don't have to go too far for it.

01:25Give me the cow.

01:27I will buy it.

01:29What will you give me in return for my cow?

01:32I have a special deal for such a good boy like you.

01:37And what is that?

01:39I will give you my five magic beans.

01:45Jack was very confused.

01:48These beans don't look like the usual ones.

01:52The beans looked exceptionally weird.

01:55They were huge, bigger than any other normal beans.

02:00I don't want these beans.

02:03What will I do with these?

02:05They're not the normal beans, little boy.

02:09They're magical.

02:11Magical? Really?

02:14How do they work?

02:16They're so magical that if you plant them overnight,

02:22by morning they grow right up to the sky.

02:26Jack was convinced.

02:28He traded the cow for the beans because they were magical.

02:32Now they're all yours in trade for this cow.

02:37Jack was very excited to show it to his mom.

02:41On reaching home, Jack smiled and reached into his pocket.

02:46Just look at these beans, mother.

02:49They're magical.

02:51What?

02:52Did you sell the cows for these strange-looking beans?

02:56Of course, mother.

02:58You sold the cow for some beans?

03:01How foolish could you be?

03:04Jack was very sad.

03:06He ran upstairs to his little room in the attic.

03:10He started thinking to himself.

03:13How could I have been so foolish?

03:16I sold the cow for beans.

03:20How foolish could I be?

03:24I sold the cow for beans.

03:30He cried in bed and fell asleep without having his dinner.

03:36As the sun rose next morning,

03:38Jack woke up and looked outside the window.

03:42To his surprise, he saw a beanstalk

03:45so long that it touched the sky.

03:48Oh, my God!

03:50Those beans were really magical.

03:53He decided to climb up the beanstalk.

03:56The beanstalk went up and up until it touched the sky.

04:00Poor Jack climbed and climbed

04:03until at last, he could see clouds floating.

04:07This is awesome!

04:09Everything looks so small from up here.

04:12As he climbed a little more,

04:14he reached a peak of clouds.

04:17It was so beautiful.

04:20As he climbed a little more,

04:22he reached a big golden door

04:25shining with the rays of the sun.

04:29As he went further, it swung open.

04:32It was a kingdom in the sky.

04:35It was magical.

04:38Jack was awestruck by the beauty of the kingdom.

04:42As he entered the kingdom,

04:44he saw a fearsome giant man sleeping on a chair.

04:48Jack was very hungry after climbing the beanstalk,

04:51so he went inside,

04:53slowly finding his way to the kitchen.

04:56He saw some fresh fruits and milk in the kitchen.

04:59Just as he went near to grab them,

05:02he heard a loud noise.

05:04Huh?

05:06What is that noise?

05:08Jack was terrified.

05:10He ran to hide inside a small hole.

05:13E-fi-fo-fum!

05:17I smell the blood of an Englishman.

05:20Be he alive, or be he dead,

05:25I'll find him and eat him.

05:28There's nothing better than a human broiled on toast.

05:33Mmm, delicious!

05:37The giant could not find any human.

05:40So, he ate his food that was kept on the table.

06:00He took out his sacks of gold coins,

06:05counted them,

06:09and kept them aside on the table.

06:15Then he went to sleep.

06:21Jack slowly crept out of his hiding place

06:25and decided to take the sack of gold coins,

06:28thinking that mother would no more be upset with him.

06:35Ah! This is so heavy!

06:38I shall take this and escape from here.

06:41He slid down the beanstalk with the gold sack.

06:47He went home and gave the coins to his mother.

06:51A sack of gold?

06:53Huh, where did you get this from?

06:56Jack narrated the whole story to his mother.

07:01His mother was very happy that they had got gold

07:05and her son was back alive.

07:08A few days later,

07:11Jack climbed the beanstalk again.

07:15Up he went and reached the giant's house.

07:19Once again, Jack saw the giant sleeping,

07:23but this time he was small.

07:26The snore was so loud

07:28that he had to rush in some hole to save his ears.

07:32The giant woke up.

07:34Jack leapt up in fright and hid himself under the bed.

07:39Hee-fie! Ho-fum!

07:42I smell the blood of an Englishman.

07:45Be he alive or be he dead,

07:49I'll find him and eat him.

07:52There's nothing better than a human broiled on toast.

07:57Mmm, delicious!

08:05There is no boy in here.

08:08The giant did not find anyone.

08:11Then he took out a hen and shouted,

08:14Lay the golden egg now!

08:20The hen laid an egg made of gold

08:23which the giant added to the basket

08:25and went to sleep.

08:27As he went inside,

08:29Jack learned that his way was clear.

08:32He took the hen and immediately climbed down the beanstalk.

08:36After going home, he narrated the story to his mother.

08:40Look, Mother, I got a hen this time.

08:44It lays golden eggs.

08:46See how it works?

08:49Lay the golden egg now!

08:54Jack's mother was very happy with him.

08:58For the third time, Jack climbed the beanstalk

09:01and went to the giant's kingdom.

09:04This time, he saw the giant playing songs on a beautiful harp.

09:09He hid below the table.

09:12Hee-fie! Ho-fum!

09:16I smell the blood of an Englishman.

09:19Be he alive or be he dead,

09:22I'll find him and eat him.

09:25There's nothing better than a human broiled on toast.

09:30Mmm, delicious!

09:33Today I am going to find that Englishman anyhow.

09:37He searched here and there but couldn't find him.

09:41He got so tired that he went to sleep.

09:45Meanwhile, Jack took the harp and was about to leave.

09:49Suddenly, the magic harp cried,

09:52Help, Master! Help me!

09:55A boy is stealing me!

09:57He is taking me away from you!

10:00The giant suddenly woke up and saw Jack with the harp.

10:05Furious, he ran after Jack.

10:08So you were the one who stole my hen and the sack of gold.

10:14I will punish you for this.

10:18But Jack was too fast for him.

10:21He slid down the beanstalk as fast as he could

10:24and the giant, realizing he had been tricked, followed him down.

10:29Jack slipped, slid, and climbed down the beanstalk as quickly as he could

10:34and fetched an axe from his house.

10:39He began to chop down the beanstalk.

10:43The beanstalk broke and the giant fell down and broke his crown

10:48and the beanstalk came toppling after.

10:51As Jack's mother saw this, she panicked.

10:54She realized that it was her mistake that she did not stop Jack from robbing things.

11:00Jack had become greedy and he could lose his life in all of this.

11:05She then went to Jack, feeling sorry, and explained to him.

11:10Jack, I'm sorry that I let you steal things.

11:14I should have taught you.

11:16What if the giant would have caught you?

11:19You would no longer be standing with me today.

11:25Mother, I learned my lesson today.

11:28I will work hard and earn money.

11:32Jack and his mother were very rich now, and they lived happily ever after.
