Jack and the Robber | 杰克与强盗

点击查看中英对照

Jack was a farmer's boy. Once, he drove his cart to market to sell butter and eggs. On the way, a woman gave him a piece of silver for some butter, and a boy gave him another piece for six eggs. Soon, Jack had plenty of silver in his pocket.

As he continued his journey, a man stopped him and offered him some wine. Jack drank it and fell asleep by the roadside. When he woke up, all his silver was gone. The man was a robber. Poor Jack returned home sadly.
