Пересказ текста Jack and the Beanstalk без прямой речи:
Once there was a boy called Jack who lived with his mother. They were so poor that she said tohim one day, "We'll have to sell our cow- it's the only way."
So Jack took the cow to market. On the way, Jack met a stranger. "I'll give you five beans for thatcow," she said. "They're magic beans…"
"Done!" said Jack. But when he got back…
"Five beans for our cow?" cried his mother. And she threw them out of the window. All through thenight, a beanstalk grew…and grew… till it right out of sight. Before his mother could say a word, Jack climbed…and climbed…and he didn't stop till he reached…the top. There Jack saw a giantcastle. He knock- knock- knocked, and a giantess opened the door.
Inside, Jack could hear a thumping and a banging and a stamping and a crashing!
"Quick," said the giantess. "Hide!" My husband is hungry!"
"Fee, fi, fo, fum! Watch out everyone, HERE I COME!" roared the giant.
The giant sat down for his supper. He ate a hundred boiled potatoes, and a hundred chocolatebiscuits. And then, feeling a bit happier, he got out his gold.
The giant started counting his coins, but soon…he was snoozing. Jack snatched the gold and raceddown the beanstalk.
