兒童英語讀物《神奇樹屋》 第七冊(cè) Afternoon on the Amazon 10
Birds sang.The air was soft and warm.
“I hope they find their coats，”said Annie.
“Me too，”said Jack.He pushed his glasses into place.
Squeak.
“Hey，youhow did you find the sorcerer?”Annie asked Peanut.
Squeak.
“It’s a secret，huh?”said Annie.She turned to Jack.“Where’s the flute?”
He held up the mammoth bone.Then he placed it on the M carved into the floor.Next to the mango from the rain forest.Next to the moonstone from the time of ninjas.
“Moonstone，mango，mammoth bone...”Annie said.“We need just one more M thing.Then Morgan will be free from her spell.”
“Tomorrow，”said Jack.
Annie patted Peanut on the head.“Bye，you，”she said.
She started down the rope ladder.
Jack gathered his things.
He paused and glanced at the mouse.She stared at him with big brown eyes.
“Thanks again for helping us，”he said.
Then he climbed down the rope ladder and jumped onto the ground.
Jack and Annie ran through the Frog Creek woods onto their street.
Their neighborhood looked rosy in the sunset.
It’s great to be back in this age，Jack thought.Warm and safe and almost home.
“I’m glad we don’t have to go hunting for dinner，”he said.
“Yeah，Mom and Dad already did that，”said Annie，“at the supermarket.”
“I hope they trapped some spaghetti and meatballs，”said Jack.
“I hope they trapped a pizza，”said Annie.
“Hurry，I’m starving，”said Jack.
They ran up their sidewalk and through their front door.
“We’re home!”shouted Annie.
“What’s for dinner?”shouted Jack.
10這個(gè)時(shí)代
鳥兒在歌唱?？諝馊岷陀峙?。
“我希望他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了他們的衣服。”安妮說。
“我也希望如此。”杰克說，他推了推眼鏡。
吱吱。
“嗨，你——你是怎樣找到那個(gè)巫師的?”安妮問花生。
吱吱。
“這是個(gè)秘密，啊哈?”安妮說。然后她轉(zhuǎn)向杰克。“笛子在哪兒?”
他舉起猛犸骨頭，然后他把骨頭放在刻在地板上的M上面。它旁邊是來自亞馬孫雨林的芒果，再旁邊是日本忍者時(shí)代的月亮石。
“月亮石，芒果，猛犸骨頭……”安妮說，“我們只需最后一樣帶M的東西了。那時(shí)摩根就能破除身上的魔咒而獲得自由了。”
“就在明天。”杰克說。
安妮輕輕地拍了拍花生的腦袋。“再見了，小老鼠。”她說。
她開始順著繩梯往下爬。
杰克收拾自己的東西。
他停了下來，看了小老鼠一眼。小老鼠用它那棕褐色的大眼睛凝視著他。
“再一次謝謝你幫助了我們。”他說。
然后他爬下繩梯，跳到地面上。
杰克和安妮跑出蛙溪樹林，回到街道上。
落日下的居民區(qū)看上去像鍍了一層玫瑰色。
重新回到這個(gè)時(shí)代真是太棒了，杰克想。溫暖，安全，家的感覺。
“我很高興，我們不必獵捕動(dòng)物當(dāng)晚餐。”他說。
“是的，老爸老媽已經(jīng)這么做了。”安妮說，“在超市里。”
“我希望他們能捕獲些通心粉和炸肉丸。”杰克說。
“我希望他們能抓個(gè)比薩什么的。”安妮說。
“快點(diǎn)，我餓著呢。”杰克說。
他們跑過人行道，從前門進(jìn)到家中。
“我們回來了!”安妮大聲叫道。
“晚飯吃什么呀?”杰克大聲叫道。
