Annie was under the tree, looking across the foggy ground.

He took the flashlight from her and pulled the castle book out of his pack. He opened it to the page with the leather bookmark.
查看中文翻译
Jack pulled out his notebook. He wanted to take notes, as he'd done on their dinosaur trip.
查看中文翻译
"Wait. I'll look it up," said Jack. "Give me the flashlight!"
查看中文翻译
He turned the pages of the castle book. He found a picture that showed the whole castle and the buildings around it.
查看中文翻译
He read the words under the picture of the knight: This is a knight arriving for a castle feast. Knights wore armor when they traveled long and dangerous distances. The armor was very heavy. A helmet alone could weigh up to forty pounds.
查看中文翻译
He wrote: heavy head
查看中文翻译
"The knight's riding toward that bridge, I think," said Annie. "The bridge goes to the castle."
查看中文翻译
What else?
查看中文翻译
Wow. Jack had weighed forty pounds when he was five years old. So it'd be like riding a horse with a five-year-old on your head.
查看中文翻译
Jack wrote in his notebook: crocodiles in moats?
查看中文翻译
"Look!" said Annie, peering through the mist. "A windmill! Right over there!"
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, there's a windmill in here, too," said Jack, pointing at the picture.
查看中文翻译
A piercing shriek split the air.
查看中文翻译
Jack wrote in his notebook: hawks in hawk house
查看中文翻译
Jack studied the bridge in the picture.
查看中文翻译
"The knight's crossing the bridge," said Annie. "He's going through the gate… He's gone."
查看中文翻译
He read: A drawbridge crossed the moat. The moat was filled with water, to help protect the castle from enemies. Some people believe crocodiles were kept in the moat.
查看中文翻译
"Look at the real one, Jack," said Annie. "Not the one in the book."
查看中文翻译
"Yikes," said Annie. "It sounded like it came from that little house over there!" She pointed through the fog.
查看中文翻译
"There's a little house here," said Jack, studying the picture.
查看中文翻译
He turned the page and read: The hawk house was in the inner ward of the castle. Hawks were trained to hunt other birds and small animals.
查看中文翻译
He heard the real drums and the real horns. He saw the real hawk house, the real windmill, the real moat.
查看中文翻译
"You can look at the book. I'm going to the real feast," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"But look at this!" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
Jack looked through the fog.
查看中文翻译
He pointed to a picture of a big party. Men were standing by the door, playing drums and horns.
查看中文翻译
He held up the book to show Annie. "Look, I think they eat --"
查看中文翻译
"Wait," said Jack, studying the picture. It showed boys his age carrying trays of food. Whole pigs. Pies. Peacocks with all their feathers. Peacocks?
查看中文翻译
Jack wrote: they eat peacocks?
查看中文翻译
He read: Fanfares were played to announce different dishes in a feast. Feasts were held in the Great Hall.
查看中文翻译
"We must be in the inner ward," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
Where was she? Gone. Again.
查看中文翻译
"I want to see what's really going on, Jack. Not what's in the book," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Wait," said Jack. He turned more pages of the book.
查看中文翻译
"Listen!" whispered Annie. "You hear that? Drums! Horns! They're coming from the castle. Let's go see."
查看中文翻译
He saw Annie dashing across the real drawbridge. Then she vanished through the gate leading to the castle.
