    coax [k??ks], weight [we?t], wrist [r?st], smother [‘sm???]

‘Oh, you poor silly!’ said the gentleman, ‘you should cut the grass and throw it down to the cow!’ But the woman thought it was easier to get the cow up the ladder than to get the grass down, so she pushed her and coaxed her and got her up, and tied a string round her neck, and passed it down the chimney, and fastened it to her own wrist. And the gentleman went on his way, but he hadn’t gone far when the cow tumbled off the roof, and hung by the string tied round her neck, and it strangled her. And the weight of the cow tied to her wrist pulled the woman up the chimney, and she stuck fast half-way and was smothered in the soot.

Well, that was one big silly.

And the gentleman went on and on (и джентльмен шел дальше и дальше), and he went to an inn (и пришел к постоялому двору) to stop for the night (/чтобы/ остановиться на ночь), and they were so full at the inn (и они были так полны в гостинице = но там было так много постояльцев) that they had to put him in a double-bedded room (что им пришлось поместить его в двухместный номер; double – двойной, bed – кровать), and another traveller (и другой путешественник) was to sleep in the other bed (должен был спать в другой кровати). The other man was a very pleasant fellow (другой человек был очень приятный парень), and they got very friendly together (и они стали очень дружны вместе = хорошо поладили); but in the morning (но утром), when they were both getting up (когда они оба вставали), the gentleman was surprised to see the other hang (джентльмен с удивлением увидел, как другой вешает: «был удивлен увидеть другого вешать») his trousers on the knobs of the chest of drawers (свои штаны на круглые ручки: «шишечки» комода: «ларя с ящиками») and run across the room (и бежит через комнату) and try to jump into them (и старается запрыгнуть в них), and he tried over and over again (и он старался снова и снова) and couldn’t manage it (и не мог справиться с этим); and the gentleman wondered (и джентльмен удивился/задался вопросом) whatever he was doing it for (зачем он это делал).

    double-bed [‘d?bl?bed], pleasant [‘plez?nt], friend [frend]

And the gentleman went on and on, and he went to an inn to stop the night, and they were so full at the inn that they had to put him in a double-bedded room, and another traveller was to sleep in the other bed. The other man was a very pleasant fellow, and they got very friendly together; but in the morning, when they were both getting up, the gentleman was surprised to see the other hang his trousers on the knobs of the chest of drawers and run across the room and try to jump into them, and he tried over and over again and couldn’t manage it; and the gentleman wondered whatever he was doing it for.

At last he stopped and wiped his face with his handkerchief (наконец тот остановился и вытер свое лицо платком). ‘Oh dear (о Боже: «о дорогой»),’ he says, ‘I do think (я действительно думаю) trousers are the most awkwardest kind of clothes (/что/ штаны есть наиболее неловкая = неудобная разновидность одежды) that ever were (которая когда-либо была). I can’t think (я не могу представить: «подумать») who could have invented such things (кто мог изобрести подобные вещи). It takes me the best part of an hour (у меня уходит почти час: «это берет мне лучшую часть часа») to get into mine every morning (чтобы залезть в мои /штаны/ каждое утро), and I get so hot (и я становлюсь таким горячим = так потею)! How do you manage yours (как вы справляетесь с вашими)?’ So the gentleman burst out a-laughing (тогда джентльмен разразился смехом), and showed him how to put them on (и показал ему, как их надевать); and he was very much obliged to him (и он был очень много обязан ему), and said he never should have thought (и сказал, /что/ он никогда не подумал бы) of doing it that way (делать это: «о делании этого» таким способом).

So that was another big silly (так /что/ этот был другим = еще одним большим дураком).

    handkerchief [‘h?nk?t?i:f], awkward [‘?:kw?d], obliged [?’bla??d]

At last he stopped and wiped his face with his handkerchief. ‘Oh dear,’ he says, ‘I do think trousers are the most awkwardest kind of clothes that ever were. I can’t think who could have invented such things. It takes me the best part of an hour to get into mine every morning, and I get so hot! How do you manage yours?’ So the gentleman burst out a-laughing, and showed him how to put them on; and he was very much obliged to him, and said he never should have thought of doing it that way.

So that was another big silly.

Then the gentleman went on his travels again (затем джентльмен пошел путешествовать: «отправился в свои путешествия» снова); and he came to a village (и пришел в деревню), and outside the village there was a pond (и снаружи = возле деревни был пруд), and round the pond was a crowd of people (а вокруг пруда была толпа людей). And they had got rakes (и у них были кочерги; to have got – иметь: «иметь полученным»; to get – получать), and brooms (и метлы), and pitchforks (и вилы) reaching into the pond (тянущиеся в пруд = и они совали все это в пруд); and the gentleman asked what the matter was (и джентльмен спросил, в чем было дело).

‘Why (как же),’ they say, ‘matter enough (большое событие: «дела достаточно» – архаич. разг.)! Moon’s tumbled into the pond (луна свалилась в пруд), and we can’t rake her out anyhow (и мы никак не можем вытащить ее)!’ So the gentleman burst out a-laughing (тогда джентльмен разразился смехом), and told them to look up into the sky (и сказал им посмотреть вверх в небо), and that it was only the shadow in the water (и что это было лишь отражение на воде: «тень в воде»). But they wouldn’t listen to him (но они не хотели слушать его), and abused him shamefully (и оскорбляли его стыдно = нехорошими словами; shame – стыд, позор), and he got away (и он убрался) as quick as he could (так быстро, как /только/ мог).

    crowd [kra?d], shadow [‘??d??], abuse [?’bju:z]

Then the gentleman went on his travels again; and he came to a village, and outside the village there was a pond, and round the pond was a crowd of people. And they had got rakes, and brooms, and pitchforks reaching into the pond; and the gentleman asked what the matter was.

‘Why,’ they say, ‘matter enough! Moon’s tumbled into the pond, and we can’t rake her out anyhow!’ So the gentleman burst out a-laughing, and told them to look up into the sky, and that it was only the shadow in the water. But they wouldn’t listen to him, and abused him shamefully, and he got away as quick as he could.

So there was a whole lot of sillies bigger than them three sillies at home (так что было много: «целая куча» дураков больших, чем те три дурака дома; them «их» – разг. простореч. вместо опред. артикля the). So the gentleman turned back home (так что джентльмен повернул назад домой) and married the farmer’s daughter (и женился на дочери крестьянина), and if they didn’t live happy for ever after (и если они не жили счастливо всю жизнь: «навсегда после»), that’s nothing to do with you or me (это не касается ни вас, ни меня: «это имеет ничего, чтобы делать с вами или мной»).

    turned [t?:nd]

So there was a whole lot of sillies bigger than them three sillies at home. So the gentleman turned back home and married the farmer’s daughter, and if they didn’t live happy for ever after, that’s nothing to do with you or me.

How Jack Went to Seek His Fortune

(Как Джек ходил искать свое счастье)

Once on a time (однажды) there was (жил да был: «там был») a boy named Jack (мальчик по имени: «названный» Джек), and one morning (и одним утром) he started to go (он пустился в путь: «отправился идти») and seek his fortune (и искать свое счастье).

He hadn’t gone very far (он не ушел очень далеко = не успел еще далеко отойти) before he met a cat (прежде чем = как встретил кота; to meet).

‘Where are you going, Jack (куда ты идешь, Джек)?’ said the cat (сказал кот).

‘I am going to seek my fortune (я иду искать мое счастье).’

‘May I go with you (могу я пойти с тобой = можно, я пойду с тобой)?’

‘Yes,’ said Jack (да, – сказал Джек), ‘the more the merrier (чем больше /народу/, тем веселее; merry – веселый).’

So on they went (так дальше они пошли = и они пошли дальше), jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt (топ-топ).

    fortune [‘f?:t??n]

Once on a time there was a boy named Jack, and one morning he started to go and seek his fortune.

He hadn’t gone very far before he met a cat.

‘Where are you going, Jack?’ said the cat.

‘I am going to seek my fortune.’

‘May I go with you?’

‘Yes,’ said Jack, ‘the more the merrier.’

So on they went, jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt.

They went a little further and they met a dog (они прошли немного дальше и встретили пса; further – дальше; far – далеко).

‘Where are you going, Jack (куда ты идешь, Джек)?’ said the dog.

‘I am going to seek my fortune (я иду искать мое счастье).’

‘May I go with you (могу я пойти с тобой)?’

‘Yes,’ said Jack, ‘the more the merrier (чем больше, тем веселее).’

So on they went (и они пошли дальше), jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt.

They went a little further and they met a goat (они прошли немного дальше и встретили козла).

‘Where are you going, Jack (куда ты идешь, Джек)?’ said the goat.

‘I am going to seek my fortune (я иду искать мое счастье).’

‘May I go with you (могу я пойти с тобой)?’

‘Yes,’ said Jack, ‘the more the merrier (чем больше, тем веселее).’

So on they went, jiggelty-jolt, jiggelty-jolt.

    further [‘f?:??], goat [???t]

They went a little further and they met a dog.
