Dahulu kala, tinggal seorang anak bernama Bert. Suatu hari Bert menukar sepeda keluarga untuk sekantong kacang ajaib.
But Bert’s buddy, Ernie, looked in the bag and said, “Beans? Blah! How boring.” And he threw the boring beans out the back window.
Tapi teman Bert, Ernie, melihat ke dalam tas dan berkata, “Kacang Bani! Betapa membosankannya.” Dan dia melempar kacang yang membosankan keluar dari jendela belakang.
Immediately, the beans began to bloom. By breakfast, they had blossomed into a big, beautiful beanstalk.
Segera, kacang mulai mekar. Saat sarapan, mereka telah berkembang menjadi pohon kacang yang besar dan indah.
When Ernie saw the beanstalk he said, “Look. A big, beautiful beanstalk. That’s really boring.”
Ketika Ernie melihat pohon kacang ia berkata, “Lihat, pohon kacang yang besar dan indah, itu sangat membosankan.”
But Bert wasn’t a bit bored. “I feel brave!” Bert bellowed. So he bounded up the beanstalk.
Tapi Bert tidak sedikit bosan. “Saya merasa berani!” Bert berteriak. Jadi dia membatasi pohon kacang.
Up, up, up went Bert, beyond the bean blossoms, beyond the birds, beyond the blue … until he came to a big black building.
Naik, naik, naik Bert, di luar bunga kacang, di luar burung, di luar biru … sampai dia sampai di sebuah bangunan hitam besar.
The building belonged to a giant named Burly Barney. Burly Barney was in the bedroom eating his breakfast of bushels of buttered buns, barrels of blueberries and bunches of bananas. When Bert saw how big Burly Barney was, Bert beat it to the back room. There, Bert found a big basket. It was full of bottlecaps.
Bangunan itu milik raksasa bernama Burly Barney. Burly Barney sedang berada di kamar tidur sambil melahap sarapan bungkuk roti mentega, tong blueberry dan tandan pisang. Ketika Bert melihat seberapa besar Burly Barney, Bert memukulnya ke ruang belakang. Di sana, Bert menemukan sebuah keranjang besar. Itu penuh dengan bottlecaps.
“Boy, oh boy, oh boy!” said Bert. “Bottlecaps! I collect bottlecaps!” So Bert brought the basket of bottlecaps back to the beanstalk.
“Wah, oh, oh, Nak!” kata Bert. “Bottlecaps! Saya mengumpulkan bottlecaps!” Jadi, Bert membawa keranjang bottlecaps kembali ke pohon kacang.
But Burly Barney saw Bert, and he began to bellow. “You took my bottlecaps!” “I’d better beat it,” said Bert.
Tapi Burly Barney melihat Bert, dan dia mulai membungkuk. “Anda mengambil bottlecaps saya!” “Sebaiknya aku mengalahkannya,” kata Bert.
Boldly, Bert climbed down. Barney bounded down behind him. But, on a bottom branch, Bert slipped and fell with a bump.
Dengan berani, Bert turun. Barney terbelenggu di belakangnya. Tapi, di cabang bawah, Bert tergelincir dan terjatuh dengan benjolan.
“I’ll bet you want to bash me because I borrowed your basket of bottlecaps,” blurted Bert.
“Saya berani bertaruh Anda ingin membuat saya malu karena saya meminjam keranjang sampah Anda,” kata Bert.
“Are you batty?” bellowed Burly Barney. “Those bottlecaps are boring! They were driving me bananas! Thank you for borrowing my bottlecaps!”
“Apakah Anda batty?” teriak Burly Barney. “Kemacetan itu membosankan! Mereka mengantar saya pisang! Terima kasih telah meminjamkan bungkusan botol saya!”
And Burly Barney shook Bert’s hand. In fact, he shook Bert’s whole body. Then Barney bounded back up the beanstalk to his beautiful black building.
Dan Burly Barney menjabat tangan Bert. Sebenarnya, dia mengguncang seluruh tubuh Bert. Kemudian Barney kembali membalikkan keadaan pohon bean ke gedung hitamnya yang indah.
And now that the basket of bottlecaps belonged to Bert, Bert had the best and biggest bunch of bottlecaps on the block. So Bert was beaming.
Dan sekarang keranjang kemacetan itu milik Bert, Bert memiliki sekumpulan bottlecaps terbaik dan terbesar di blok itu. Jadi Bert berseri.
And everyone lived blissfully ever after. Except Ernie … who was bored.
Dan semua orang hidup bahagia selamanya. Kecuali Ernie … yang bosan.
