"It's still here," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"It looks empty," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack and his seven-year-old sister gazed up at a very tall oak tree. At the top of the tree was a tree house.
查看中文翻译
Late-morning sunlight lit the woods. It was almost time for lunch.
查看中文翻译
"Shhh!" said Jack. "What was that noise?"
查看中文翻译
"What noise?"
查看中文翻译
"I heard a noise," Jack said. He looked around. "It sounded like someone coughing."
查看中文翻译
"I didn't hear anything," said Annie. "Come on. Let's go up."
查看中文翻译
She grabbed onto the rope ladder and started climbing.
查看中文翻译
Jack tiptoed over to a clump of bushes. He pushed aside a small branch.
查看中文翻译
"Hello?" he said. "Anybody there?"
查看中文翻译
There was no answer.
查看中文翻译
"Come on!" Annie called down. "The tree house looks the same as it did yesterday."
查看中文翻译
Jack still felt that someone was nearby. Could it be the person who'd put all the books in the tree house?
查看中文翻译
"Ja-ack!"
查看中文翻译
Jack gazed over the top of the bushes.
查看中文翻译
Was the mysterious person watching him now? The person whose name began with M?
查看中文翻译
Maybe M wanted the gold medallion back. The one Jack had found on their dinosaur adventure.
查看中文翻译
Maybe M wanted the leather bookmark back. The one from the castle book.
查看中文翻译
There was an M on the medallion. And an M on the bookmark. But what did M stand for?
查看中文翻译
"Tomorrow I'll bring everything back," Jack said loudly.
查看中文翻译
A breeze swept through the woods. The leaves rattled.
查看中文翻译
"Come on!" called Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack went back to the big oak tree. He grabbed onto the rope ladder and climbed up.
查看中文翻译
At the top he crawled through a hole in the wooden floor. He tossed down his backpack and pushed his glasses into place.
查看中文翻译
"Hmmm. Which book is it going to be today?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
She was looking at the books scattered around the tree house.
查看中文翻译
Annie picked up the book about castles.
查看中文翻译
"Hey, this isn't wet anymore," she said.
查看中文翻译
"Let me see."
查看中文翻译
Jack took the book from her. He was amazed. It looked fine. Yesterday it had gotten soaked in a castle moat.
查看中文翻译
The castle book had taken Jack and Annie back to the time of knights.
查看中文翻译
Jack silently thanked the mysterious knight who had rescued them.
查看中文翻译
"Watch out!" warned Annie.
查看中文翻译
She waved a dinosaur book in Jack's face.
查看中文翻译
"Put that away," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
The day before yesterday the dinosaur book had taken them to the time of dinosaurs.
查看中文翻译
Jack silently thanked the Pteranodon who had saved him from a Tyrannosaurus rex.
查看中文翻译
Annie put the dinosaur book back with the other books. Then she gasped.
查看中文翻译
"Wow," she whispered. "Look at this."
查看中文翻译
She held up a book about ancient Egypt.
查看中文翻译
Jack caught his breath. He took the book from her. A green silk bookmark stuck out of it.
查看中文翻译
Jack turned to the page with the bookmark. There was a picture of a pyramid.
查看中文翻译
Going toward the pyramid was a long parade. Four huge cows with horns were pulling a sled. On the sled was a long gold box. Many Egyptians were walking behind the sled. At the end of the parade was a sleek black cat.
查看中文翻译
"Let's go there," whispered Annie. "Now."
查看中文翻译
"Wait," said Jack. He wanted to study the book a bit more.
查看中文翻译
"Pyramids, Jack," said Annie. "You love pyramids."
查看中文翻译
It was true. Pyramids were high on his list of favorite things. After knights. But before dinosaurs. Way before dinosaurs.
查看中文翻译
He didn't have to worry about being eaten by a pyramid.
查看中文翻译
"Okay," he said. "But hold the Pennsylvania book. In case we want to come right back here."
查看中文翻译
Annie found the book with the picture of their hometown in it. Frog Creek, Pennsylvania.
查看中文翻译
Then Jack pointed to the pyramid picture in the Egypt book. He cleared his throat and said, "I wish we could go to this place."
查看中文翻译
"Meow!"
查看中文翻译
"What was that?" Jack looked out the tree house window.
查看中文翻译
A black cat was perched on a branch. Right outside the window. The cat was staring at Jack and Annie.
查看中文翻译
It was the strangest cat Jack had ever seen. He was very sleek and dark. With bright yellow eyes. And a wide gold collar.
查看中文翻译
"It's the cat in the Egypt book," whispered Annie.
查看中文翻译
Just then the wind started to blow. The leaves began to shake.
查看中文翻译
"Here we go!" cried Annie.
查看中文翻译
The wind whistled louder. The leaves shook harder.
查看中文翻译
Jack closed his eyes as the tree house started to spin.
查看中文翻译
It spun faster and faster! And faster!
查看中文翻译
Suddenly everything was still.
查看中文翻译
Absolutely still.
查看中文翻译
Not a sound. Not a whisper.
查看中文翻译
Jack opened his eyes.
查看中文翻译
Hot bright sunlight nearly blinded him.
查看中文翻译
"Me-ow!"
