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.
杰克和茎 只
洒了一次水，
茎便
自然地迅速长到天上去了。第一个被派去爬茎的
间谍回到地面时一个
踉跄倒地死了，之后这
队冒险者就更加犹豫不敢再爬了。他们
拖延着，但总得有人再爬上去。只有小个子杰克站了出来。他的
配偶惊得
短促地尖叫起来，杰克甚至都没有转过身来，他只是
结结巴巴地说他想爬到
茎上去并尽快回来向
小队报告。就这样他走了，其他人打开
聚光灯让他看清回来的路，万一他得晚上回来。
杰克爬
茎的下半部分时感觉像是爬
楼梯。爬到高一点的地方时他又跳又爬，就好象是只
松鼠。有一下他差点没抓住一根分枝，他得使劲摆手臂以
稳定自己的身体，然后他
蹲下来休息。等他再开始爬的时候，大家都看不见他了，因为他已经爬得太高了。
几个小时之后，杰克从
茎上飞着跑下来，叫喊着要大家快把茎砍倒。他们看见巨人正从上面追着杰克，所以听了他的话，开始对
茎又
刺又砍。等杰克回到地上，他们砍完并向四面八方跑掉了。他们抬头一看，发现巨人在
茎上失去
稳定并掉在了地上。在他落地的时候，几个冒险者差点没被
压碎。他们站在那里敬畏地看着，杰克从他的夹克里掏出一只奇怪的鹅和一支金色的竖琴。
