Lazy Jack

ONCE upon a time there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a common. They were very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack. His mother could not get him to do anything for her, and at last told him, on Monday, that if he did not begin to work for his porridge she would turn him out to get his living as he could.

This roused Jack, and he went out and hired himself for the next day to a neighbouring farmer for a penny; but as he was coming home, never having had any money before, he lost it in passing over a brook. ‘You stupid boy,’ said his mother, ‘you should have put it in your pocket.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ replied Jack.

On Wednesday, Jack went out again and hired himself to a cow-keeper, who gave him a jar of milk for his day’s work. Jack took the jar and put it into the large pocket of his jacket, spilling it all, long before he got home. ‘Dear me!’ said the old woman, ‘you should have carried it on your head.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ said Jack.

So on Thursday, Jack hired himself again to a farmer, who agreed to give him a cream cheese for his services. In the evening Jack took the cheese, and went home with it on his head. By the time he got home the cheese was all spoilt, part of it being lost, and part matted with his hair. ‘You stupid lout,’ said his mother, ‘you should have carried it very carefully in your hands.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ replied Jack.

On Friday, Lazy Jack again went out, and hired himself to a baker who would give him nothing for his work but a large tomcat. Jack took the cat, and began carrying it very carefully in his hands, but in a short time pussy scratched him so much that he was compelled to let it go. When he got home, his mother said to him, ‘You silly fellow, you should have tied it with a string, and dragged it along after you.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ said Jack.

So on Saturday, Jack hired himself to a butcher, who rewarded him by the handsome present of a shoulder of mutton. Jack took the mutton, tied it to a string, and trailed it along after him in the dirt, so that by the time he had got home the meat was completely spoilt. His mother was this time quite out of patience with him, for the next day was Sunday, and she was obliged to do with cabbage for her dinner. ‘You ninney-hammer,’ said she to her son; ‘you should have carried it on your shoulder.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ replied Jack.

On the next Monday, Lazy Jack went once more, and hired himself to a cattle-keeper, who gave him a donkey for his trouble. Jack found it hard to hoist the donkey on his shoulders, but at last he did it, and began walking slowly home with his prize. Now it happened that in the course of his journey there lived a rich man with his only daughter, a beautiful girl, but deaf and dumb. Now she had never laughed in her life, and the doctors said she would never speak till somebody made her laugh. This young lady happened to be looking out of the window when Jack was passing with the donkey on his shoulders, with the legs sticking up in the air, and the sight was so comical and strange that she burst out into a great fit of laughter, and immediately recovered her speech and hearing. Her father was overjoyed, and fulfilled his promise by marrying her to Lazy Jack, who was thus made a rich gentleman. They lived in a large house, and Jack’s mother lived with them in great happiness until she died.

Ленивый Джек

(Английская народная сказка)

Once upon a time there was a boy whose name was Jack, and he lived with his mother on a common. They were very poor, and the old woman got her living by spinning, but Jack was so lazy that he would do nothing but bask in the sun in the hot weather, and sit by the corner of the hearth in the winter-time. So they called him Lazy Jack.

Jack took the jar and put it into the large pocket of his jacket, spilling it all, long before he got home. ‘Dear me!’ said the old woman, ‘you should have carried it on your head.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ said Jack.

Жил-был юноша по имени Джек, жил он вместе с матерью. Жили они очень бедно, матушка зарабатывала на жизнь тем, что пряла, а Джек был такой ленивый, что ничего не делал, кроме того, что грелся на солнышке в теплую погоду и сидел у печки в зимнее время. За это его прозвали Ленивый Джек.   Мать  не могла заставить его ничего делать, и тогда она сказала ему, что если он не начнет с понедельника зарабатывать себе на хлеб, то она выгонит его из дома.

Это заставило задуматься Джека,   и  на следующий день он пошел и нанялся на работу к соседскому фермеру за небольшую плату, но когда он вернулся домой, у него не было денег, как и прежде: он потерял их, когда переходил ручей. «Ты глупый мальчик»,- сказала его мать. «Тебе следовало положить их в карман». «В следующий раз я сделаю именно так», — ответил Джек.

В среду Джек пошел снова и нанялся ухаживать за коровами. За эту работу ему  дали кувшин молока. Джек взял кувшин и положил его в большой карман куртки и  пролил все задолго до того, как пришел домой. «Дорогой мой!» — сказала матушка: «Тебе следовало нести его на голове». «В следующий раз я сделаю именно так», — сказал Джек.

So on Thursday, Jack hired himself again to a farmer, who agreed to give him a cream cheese for his services. In the evening Jack took the cheese, and went home with it on his head. By the time he got home the cheese was all spoilt, part of it being lost, and part matted with his hair. ‘You stupid lout,’ said his mother, ‘you should have carried it very carefully in your hands.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ replied Jack.

On Friday, Lazy Jack again went out, and hired himself to a baker who would give him nothing for his work but a large tomcat. Jack took the cat, and began carrying it very carefully in his hands, but in a short time pussy scratched him so much that he was compelled to let it go. When he got home, his mother said to him, ‘You silly fellow, you should have tied it with a string, and dragged it along after you.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ said Jack.

So on Saturday, Jack hired himself to a butcher, who rewarded him by the handsome present of a shoulder of mutton. Jack took the mutton, tied it to a string, and trailed it along after him in the dirt, so that by the time he had got home the meat was completely spoilt. His mother was this time quite out of patience with him, for the next day was Sunday, and she was obliged to do with cabbage for her dinner. ‘You ninney-hammer,’ said she to her son; ‘you should have carried it on your shoulder.’ ‘I’ll do so another time,’ replied Jack.

В четверг  Джек нанялся к фермеру снова. Фермер согласился дать ему отборного сыра за его службу. Вечером Джек взял сыр и пошел домой с ним на голове. К тому времени, как он пришел домой, сыр весь испортился: часть его потерялась, а часть спуталась с волосами. «Глупая деревенщина», — сказала мать. «Тебе следовало нести его осторожно в руках». «В следующий раз я сделаю именно так», — ответил Джек.

В пятницу Ленивый Джек пошел наниматься к булочнику, который дал ему за работу только кота. Джек взял кота и осторожно понес его в руках, но кот стал царапаться, и Джек отпустил его. Когда он пришел домой, мать сказала ему: «Ты глупый парень, тебе следовало привязать его веревкой и тащить за собой». «В следующий раз я сделаю именно так», — сказал Джек.

В субботу Джек нанялся к мяснику, который отблагодарил его щедрым подарком — куском баранины. Джек взял баранину, привязал её веревкой и потащил за собой по земле, но когда он пришел домой, мясо было  испорчено. У его матери лопнуло терпение: на следующий день в  воскресенье  она смогла приготовить на обед только капусту. «Ты простофиля», — сказала она сыну: «Тебе следовало нести мясо на плечах». «В следующий раз я сделаю именно так», — ответил Джек.

On the next Monday, Lazy Jack went once more, and hired himself to a cattle-keeper, who gave him a donkey for his trouble. Jack found it hard to hoist the donkey on his shoulders, but at last he did it, and began walking slowly home with his prize. Now it happened that in the course of his journey there lived a rich man with his only daughter, a beautiful girl, but deaf and dumb. Now she had never laughed in her life, and the doctors said she would never speak till somebody made her laugh. This young lady happened to be looking out of the window when Jack was passing with the donkey on his shoulders, with the legs sticking up in the air, and the sight was so comical and strange that she burst out into a great fit of laughter, and immediately recovered her speech and hearing. Her father was overjoyed, and fulfilled his promise by marrying her to Lazy Jack, who was thus made a rich gentleman. They lived in a large house, and Jack’s mother lived with them in great happiness until she died.

В понедельник Ленивый Джек пошел опять, и нанялся к скотнику, который дал ему осла за его усердие. Джек с трудом поднял осла на плечи и медленно побрёл домой со своей наградой. И случилось так, что путь его пролегал мимо дома, где жил богатый человек со своей единственной дочерью, очень красивой, но глухонемой. Она никогда не смеялась, и доктора говорили, что она не будет говорить до тех пор, пока ее кто-нибудь не рассмешит. И вот, когда Джек проходил с ослом на плечах, ноги которого болтались в воздухе, девушка выглянула из окна. Это было так забавно и необыкновенно, что она залилась веселым смехом и тотчас обрела речь и слух. Ее отец был счастлив и выполнил свое обещание: выдал ее замуж за Джека. Вот так Ленивый Джек стал богачом. Они стали жить в большом доме, мать Джека  жила с ними. Они жили долго и счастливо до самой смерти.

ONCE upon a time there was a boy whose name was Jack. Jack lived with his mother. They were very poor, and the old woman made her living by spinning. 1 But Jack was so lazy that he did nothing but 2 lie in the sun in the hot weather in the summer, and sit by the fire-place in the winter. So people called him Lazy Jack.

His mother could not make him work. At last one Monday she said to him!

«If you don’t begin to work for your porridge, I will turn you out of the house.» 3

These words made Jack do something.

So on Tuesday, he went out and hired himself 4 for a day to a neighbouring farmer for a penny. But when he was going home in the evening, he lost the penny.

«You silly boy,» said his mother, «you should have put it 5 in your pocket.»

«I’ll do so another time.»answered Jack.

On Wednesday, Jack went out again and hired himself to a cowman. The cowman gave him a jar of milk for his day’s work. Jack took the jar of milk and put it into the large pocket of his jacket. But the milk was all spilled long before 6 he got home.

«Oh! You should have carried it 7 on your head,» said the old woman.

«I’ll do so another time,» answered Jack. On Thursday, Jack hired himself again to a farmer. In the evening the farmer gave him a large soft cheese for his work. Jack took the cheese and went home with it on his head. By the time he got home the cheese was ail spoilt. He lost part of it, and part of it was in his hair.

«You foolish boy,» said the mother, «you should have carried it very carefully in your hands.» «I’ll do so another time,» answered Jack. On Friday, Lazy Jack again went out and hired himself to a baker. The baker gave him nothing for his work but a large cat. Jack took the cat, and began to carry it very carefully in his hands, but in a short time the cat scratched him so much that he let it go. 8 When he got home, his mother said to him:

«You silly boy, you should have tied a string to it, and dragged it along after you.»

«I’ll do so another time,» answered Jack.

On Saturday, Jack hired himself to a butcher, who gave him a shoulder of mutton 9 for his work. Jack took the mutton, tied a string to it, and dragged it along after him. By the time he got home, the meat was quite spoilt.

Well, on the Monday, Lazy Jack went once more and hired himself to a cattle-keeper, who gave him a donkey for his trouble. Now though Jack was strong he found it hard to hoist the donkey on his shoulders, but at last he did it, and began walking home slowly with his prize. Now it so happened that in the course of his journey he passed a house where a rich man lived with his only daughter, a beautiful girl, who was deaf and dumb. And she had never laughed in her life, and the doctors said she would never speak till somebody made her laugh. So the father had given out that any man who made her laugh would receive her hand in marriage. Now this young lady happened to be looking out of the window when Jack was passing by with the donkey on his shoulders; and the poor beast with its legs sticking up in the air was kicking violently and heehawing with all its might. Well, the sight was so comical that she burst out into a great fit of laughter, and immediately recovered her speech and hearing. Her father was overjoyed, and fulfilled his promise by marrying her to Lazy Jack, who was thus made a rich gentleman. They lived in a large house, and Jack’s mother lived with them in great happiness until she died.
