Jack stared out his bedroom window. The rain kept falling. And falling.

"The TV said it would stop by noon," said Annie, his seven-year-old sister.
查看中文翻译
"It's already past noon," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"But we have to go to the tree house," said Annie. "I have a feeling the M person will be there today."
查看中文翻译
Jack pushed his glasses into place and took a deep breath. He wasn't sure he was ready to meet the M person yet. The mysterious person who had put all the books in the magic tree house.
查看中文翻译
"Come on," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack sighed. "Okay," he said. "You get our raincoats and boots. I'll get the medallion and bookmark."
查看中文翻译
Annie ran to get their rain gear.
查看中文翻译
Jack reached into his drawer. He took out the medallion.
查看中文翻译
It was gold. The letter M was engraved on it.
查看中文翻译
Then he took out the bookmark. It was made of blue leather. It had the same M on it.
查看中文翻译
Both M's matched the M that was on the floor of the tree house.
查看中文翻译
Jack put the medallion and bookmark into his backpack. Then he threw in his notebook and pencil. Jack liked to take notes about important things.
查看中文翻译
"I got our rain stuff!" called Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack picked up his pack and went downstairs. Annie was waiting by the back door. She was putting on her boots. "Meet you outside," she said.
查看中文翻译
Jack pulled on his raincoat and boots. Then he put on his backpack and joined her.
查看中文翻译
The wind was blowing hard.
查看中文翻译
"Ready! Set! Go!" shouted Annie.
查看中文翻译
They kept their heads down and charged into the rainy wind.
查看中文翻译
Soon they were in the Frog Creek woods.
查看中文翻译
Tree branches swayed, flinging rainwater everywhere.
查看中文翻译
"Yuck!" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
They splashed through puddles. Until they came to the tallest oak tree in the woods.
查看中文翻译
They looked up.
查看中文翻译
Tucked between two branches was the tree house. It looked dark and lonely against the stormy sky.
查看中文翻译
Hanging from the tree house was a rope ladder. It was blowing in the wind.
查看中文翻译
Jack thought of all the books up there. He hoped they weren't getting wet.
查看中文翻译
"The M person's been there," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack caught his breath. "How can you tell?" he said.
查看中文翻译
"I can feel it," she whispered.
查看中文翻译
She grabbed the rope ladder and started up. Jack followed.
查看中文翻译
Inside the tree house it was chilly and damp.
查看中文翻译
But the books were dry. They were all neatly stacked along the wall. Just the way they had been the day before.
查看中文翻译
Annie picked up a castle book on top of one stack. It had taken them to the time of castles.
查看中文翻译
"Remember the knight?" she said.
查看中文翻译
Jack nodded. He would never forget the knight who had helped them.
查看中文翻译
Annie put down the castle book. She picked up the next book on the stack.
查看中文翻译
It was the dinosaur book that had taken them to the time of dinosaurs.
查看中文翻译
"Remember?" she said.
查看中文翻译
Jack nodded.
查看中文翻译
He'd never forget the pteranodon who had saved him from the Tyrannosaurus rex.
查看中文翻译
Then Annie held up a book about ancient Egypt.
查看中文翻译
"Meow," she said.
查看中文翻译
Jack smiled. The Egypt book had taken them to the time of pyramids. A black cat had come to the rescue there.
查看中文翻译
"And here's the book about home," Annie said.
查看中文翻译
She held up the book with the picture of their hometown in it. Frog Creek, Pennsylvania.
查看中文翻译
Jack smiled again. The Pennsylvania book had brought them back home at the end of each of their adventures.
查看中文翻译
Jack sighed. Okay. He still had two main questions.
查看中文翻译
1. Who was the M person who had put all the books here?
查看中文翻译
2. And did the knight, the pteranodon, and the cat all know the M person?
查看中文翻译
Finally Jack reached into his backpack. He took out the gold medallion and the leather bookmark. He placed them on the floor. Right over the spot where the M glowed faintly in the wood.
查看中文翻译
Rain blew into the tree house.
查看中文翻译
"Brr!" said Annie. "It's not very cozy today."
查看中文翻译
Jack agreed with her. It was too wet and cold.
查看中文翻译
"Look." Annie pointed to an open book lying in the corner. "I don't remember a book being open."
查看中文翻译
"Me neither," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
Annie picked up the book. She stared at the picture on the page.
查看中文翻译
"Wow, this place looks great." She showed the picture to Jack.
查看中文翻译
He saw a sunny beach. A big green parrot sitting in a palm tree. And a ship sailing on a blue sea.
查看中文翻译
Another gust of rainy wind blew into the tree house.
查看中文翻译
Annie pointed to the picture. "I wish we were there instead of here," she said.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah," said Jack. "But where is there?"
查看中文翻译
"Too late!" came a squawk.
查看中文翻译
Jack and Annie turned quickly.
查看中文翻译
Sitting on a branch outside the window ledge of the tree house was a green parrot. Exactly like the parrot in the picture.
查看中文翻译
"Too late!" the parrot squawked again.
查看中文翻译
"A talking parrot!" said Annie. "Is your name Polly? Can I call you Polly?"
查看中文翻译
Suddenly the wind started to whistle.
查看中文翻译
"Oh no! Now we're in big trouble!" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
The wind blew harder.
查看中文翻译
The leaves shook.
查看中文翻译
The tree house started to spin. Faster and faster!
查看中文翻译
Jack squeezed his eyes shut. Then everything was still.
查看中文翻译
Absolutely still.
查看中文翻译
Jack opened his eyes.
查看中文翻译
"Too late!" squawked Polly.
