Jack was the son of a farmer, and lived in the days of King Arthur. He was brave and intelligent and became famous for killing a lot of giants. Jack first killed the giant of Mount Cornwall by using a trick. He dug a pit, covered it with branches and earth, and then lured the giant into it. Later he got from another giant four marvelous things—again by using tricks. The four things were an invisible coat, a cap of wisdom, shoes of swiftness, and a resistless sword. When he put on his coat no eye could see him; when he had his shoes on no one could catch up with him; his sword would cut through everything, and when put on his cap he knew everything he wanted to know. With the help of these, he destroyed all the giants. （英语故事带翻译www.lyy5.com ）

据说杰克是个农夫的儿子，生活在亚瑟王时代。他既勇敢又聪明，由于杀死巨人而扬名。杰克最初杀死的是康沃尔山巨人。他挖了一个陷阱，上面盖上树枝和土，然后引诱巨人落入陷阱。后来，他又用计谋从另一个巨人那里骗得了四件宝物：隐身衣、知识帽、快行鞋、无敌剑。披上隐身衣，敌人就看不见他；戴上知识帽，他就无所不知；穿上快行鞋，他疾走如飞；挥起无敌剑，他所向披靡。靠这四件宝物他除掉了所有的巨人。
