"I'll find out," said Jack. He picked up the open book and read the title on the cover. "Life in the Ice Age."

Annie slipped Peanut into the pocket of the backpack.
查看中文翻译
"We can't go home," said Annie. "We can't find the Pennsylvania book. Not until our mission is complete. Remember? That's the way the magic works."
查看中文翻译
Annie peered out the window again. "Where are we, anyway?" she asked.
查看中文翻译
"Poor mouse," said Annie. "I'll put you into Jack's pack. You'll be warmer there."
查看中文翻译
"Oh… right," said Jack. He looked around. There was no sign of the Pennsylvania book that always took them home.
查看中文翻译
Sq-squeak. Peanut sounded cold, too.
查看中文翻译
The tree house was in the tallest tree in a grove of tall, bare trees.
查看中文翻译
Jack, Annie, and Peanut looked outside.
查看中文翻译
"We have to go home," said Jack. "We need warmer clothes."
查看中文翻译
Snow was falling from a gray sky.
查看中文翻译
The grove was on a wide, white plain. Beyond the plain were high, rocky cliffs.
查看中文翻译
"I'm c-cold," said Annie. Her teeth chattered. She wrapped her towel tightly around her.
查看中文翻译
"Look," whispered Annie, "people." She pointed out the window.
查看中文翻译
He found a picture of some people. He read the caption to Annie: Early modern humans were called Cro-Magnons. During the late Ice Age in Europe, they sometimes lived in caves beneath cliffs.
查看中文翻译
"We better find the third M thing soon," said Jack. "Before we freeze to death."
查看中文翻译
"I'll look in the book," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
Jack turned the page. He found another picture of the Cro-Magnons. He read aloud: The Cro-Magnon family often hunted together. They covered deep pits with branches. Then they drove reindeer and mammoths into the traps.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, trapping the animals -- that's sad," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
They watched the family disappear over the other side of the cliff.
查看中文翻译
"Who are they?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"No, it's not," said Jack. "They couldn't live without hunting. They didn't have supermarkets, you know."
查看中文翻译
"Why are they carrying spears?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack saw them, too: four figures on a cliff. Two big figures and two little ones -- all holding long spears.
查看中文翻译
"Ice Age?" said Annie. "No wonder we're cold."
查看中文翻译
On the icy ground, they huddled together.
查看中文翻译
Annie wrapped her towel around her head.
查看中文翻译
Squeak. Peanut peeked out of the backpack.
查看中文翻译
"Stay in there," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"We should find a cave or someplace warmer," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
Jack put his book away.
查看中文翻译
Annie followed.
查看中文翻译
The wind was biting. Jack put his towel over his head. Snow blew against his glasses.
查看中文翻译
"Good thinking," said Jack. "Now cover your head with your towel. Most of your body heat is lost through your head."
查看中文翻译
"But I want to meet them," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Come on, I'm freezing," said Jack. "Let's hurry and find the M thing while the Cro-Magnons are hunting."
查看中文翻译
"Hey, Jack," said Annie. "Look at me."
查看中文翻译
Annie had put on her swimming goggles. "Now I can see," she said.
查看中文翻译
Jack pulled on his pack and started down the rope ladder.
查看中文翻译
"Yikes," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"I bet there are caves in those cliffs," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Forget it," said Jack. "They don't have books that tell them about us. They'll think we're some enemy and hurl their spears."
查看中文翻译
She and Jack started across the white plain. The snow wasn't deep yet. But the wind was blowing hard.
查看中文翻译
It was only slightly warmer inside. But at least the wind wasn't blowing.
查看中文翻译
Jack stood by the entrance so he could read the book.
查看中文翻译
They ran to it.
查看中文翻译
Annie took off her goggles.
查看中文翻译
He pulled out the Ice Age book.
查看中文翻译
"I hear something," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Jack turned the pages of his book. He found a picture of a cave filled with bones.
查看中文翻译
"No, wait. I think they're bones," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"It smells in here," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
In the gray light, they stamped the snow off their sneakers.
查看中文翻译
"I'll look around," said Annie. "Maybe the M thing is here. Then we can go home and get warm."
查看中文翻译
"What?" said Jack. He didn't look up from the book.
查看中文翻译
"I told you!" Annie pointed to an opening in the rocks -- a cave.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah, like a wet dog," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Let me see what I can find out," said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"This cave is filled with sticks," Annie said.
查看中文翻译
"Careful," said Jack. They stepped carefully into the shadowy cave.
查看中文翻译
"Bones?" echoed Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Yeah. Lots of them back here. All over the floor."
查看中文翻译
Jack read the writing below the picture of the cave. It said: The great cave bears of the Ice Age were over eight feet tall. These bears were larger and fiercer than today's grizzlies. Their caves were filled with the bones of their ancestors.
查看中文翻译
"Annie!" whispered Jack. "Get back here now!"
查看中文翻译
They were in the cave of a great cave bear!
