"Come back!" Annie called. She leaned out the window to see where the cat was going.

"Meow!"

Jack looked down at the Egypt book. He read the words under the picture:
查看中文翻译
The black cat was sitting at the base of the tree. His yellow eyes were staring up at Jack and Annie.
查看中文翻译
A parade was going toward the pyramid. The same parade as in the Egypt book.
查看中文翻译
"Shhh," said Jack. "Someone might hear you."
查看中文翻译
"Oh, wow!" she said. "Look, Jack."
查看中文翻译
Jack leaned forward and looked down.
查看中文翻译
The black cat stood and began walking around the tree.
查看中文翻译
Jack and Annie looked out the window.
查看中文翻译
The tree house was perched on the top of a palm tree. The tree stood with other palm trees. A patch of green surrounded by a sandy desert.
查看中文翻译
When a royal person died, a grand funeral procession took place. Family, servants, and mourners followed the coffin. The coffin was called a sarcophagus. It was pulled on a sled by four oxen.
查看中文翻译
"In the middle of the desert?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
The cat was running away from the palm trees. Toward a giant pyramid in the desert.
查看中文翻译
"It's the picture from the book!" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Hi!" Annie shouted.
查看中文翻译
"What are those people doing?" asked Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack and Annie looked down.
查看中文翻译
He looked out the window again.
查看中文翻译
"We'd better hurry," said Annie, "if we want to see the mummy."
查看中文翻译
"There's probably a mummy in that gold box," Annie called up. "We're in ancient Egypt. Remember?"
查看中文翻译
"Wait," said Jack. And he wrote:
查看中文翻译
Jack shoved his notebook and the Egypt book into his pack. Then he started down the ladder.
查看中文翻译
"Good-bye, Jack!" called Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack loved mummies. He put down his pencil.
查看中文翻译
"Wait!" Jack called.
查看中文翻译
Oxen, sled, Egyptians, black cat. All were moving in a slow, dreamy way.
查看中文翻译
"I'd better make some notes about this," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
Jack looked up from his notebook.
查看中文翻译
When he got to the ground, he and Annie took off across the sand.
查看中文翻译
She started down the rope ladder.
查看中文翻译
"Mummy?" he said.
查看中文翻译
He reached into his backpack and pulled out his notebook. Jack always kept notes.
查看中文翻译
"Mummies!" Annie shouted.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, man," said Jack weakly. "Mummies!" She sure knew how to get to him.
查看中文翻译
"It's an Egyptian funeral," said Jack. "The box is called a sar… sar… sar… oh, forget it."
查看中文翻译
"Don't be silly. There's no such thing as ghosts," said Jack. "It must have been a mirage."
查看中文翻译
"Look!" Annie pointed at the pyramid. Near the base was the sleek black cat.
查看中文翻译
"No way," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Ghosts," she said.
查看中文翻译
What had happened? Where were the people? The oxen? The gold box? The cat?
查看中文翻译
Jack frowned.
查看中文翻译
The closer they got to the parade, the harder it was to see it.
查看中文翻译
But as they ran a strange thing happened.
查看中文翻译
"He's no mirage," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
He was standing alone. He was staring at Jack and Annie.
查看中文翻译
"A what?"
查看中文翻译
"How could sunlight look like people, a mummy box, and a bunch of cows?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
But the great stone pyramid was still there. Towering above them.
查看中文翻译
Then suddenly it was gone. The strange parade had disappeared. Vanished.
查看中文翻译
"They're gone," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Where did they go?" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Maybe they were ghosts," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Panting, Jack looked around.
查看中文翻译
"Mirage. It happens in the desert all the time," said Jack. "It looks like something's there. But it just turns out to be the sunlight reflecting through heat."
查看中文翻译
"Let's find out," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
The cat started to slink away. He walked along the base of the pyramid and slid around a corner.
查看中文翻译
"Where's he going?" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
They dashed around the corner -- just in time to see the cat disappear through a hole in the pyramid.
