10 The Secret of Brave

Chapter 10 THE SECRET OF BRAVE Cria's bell jingled as Topa threw his arms around her. "Thank you, Jack and Annie!" he said. "How were you able to rescue her from the guards?" his grandfather asked. "Um… we just found her," said Annie. "On the mountain." "Yes, she must have escaped from the guards," said Jack. "And we brought her home to Topa." "That is wonderful!" said Topa's grandmother. "Catch me, Cria!" Topa said. The baby llama dashed after him across the grass.

第十章勇敢的克里娅的秘密托帕张开双臂抱住她，她的铃铛叮当作响。 “谢谢你们，杰克和安妮！”他说。 “你是怎么把她从警卫手里救出来的？”他的祖父问道。 “嗯……我们刚刚找到她，”安妮说。 “在山上。”“是的，她一定是从警卫那里逃出来的。”杰克说。 “我们把她带回了托帕。” “太棒了！”托帕的祖母说。 “抓住我，克里娅！”Topa说。 小美洲驼跟着他跑过草地。

As Topa played with Cria in the meadow, his grandmother gave cups of water to Jack and Annie. "Would you stay to eat with us?" she asked. "Oh, I forgot! We still have our potatoes," said Jack. He took them out of his bag and handed one to Annie. Jack and Annie ate their cold baked potatoes. Topa ate a potato, too. Then he pulled up some weeds for Cria. He fed the baby llama by hand, and she munched hungrily. When everyone had finished their late

当托帕和克里亚在草地上玩耍时，他的祖母把水杯递给杰克和安妮。 “你愿意留下来和我们一起吃饭吗？”她问。 “哦，我忘了！”我们的土豆还在。”杰克说。 他从包里拿出来，递给安妮一个。 杰克和安妮吃着他们的冷烤土豆。 托帕也吃了一个土豆。然后他为克里娅拔了一些杂草。 他用手喂小羊驼，小羊驼狼吞虎咽地吃着。 当每个人都完成了他们的晚

lunch, they sat still for a moment. Cria and Topa were resting side by side in the grass. The old man started to play his flute again. As the soothing music wafted through the air, Jack grew sleepy. Annie nudged him. "Time to go home," she said. "Oh, right." Jack stood up. "Thank you for helping us," said Topa's grandmother. "Good-bye, Jack and Annie! Thank you again!" Topa said. "Take good care of Cria," said Jack. "And, Cria, you take good care of Topa," said Annie, patting the baby llama's silver fur. Cria fluttered her long eyelashes at Annie and Jack. She looked like she was smiling. Jack and Annie waved and headed back into the cloud forest.

午饭时，他们静静地坐了一会儿。 克里娅和托帕并排躺在草地上休息。 老人又开始吹起了笛子。 随着舒缓的音乐在空气中飘荡，杰克开始犯困了。 安妮轻轻地推了推他。“该回家了，”她说。 “噢,对的。”杰克站了起来。 “谢谢你帮助我们，”托帕的祖母说。 “再见，杰克和安妮！”再次感谢您！”Topa说。 “好好照顾克里娅，”杰克说。 “还有，克里亚，你要好好照顾托帕，”安妮说着，拍拍小美洲驼的银色皮毛。 克里娅朝安妮和杰克挥动着她的长睫毛。 她看起来像是在微笑。 杰克和安妮挥了挥手，回到了云雾森林。

"Where's the tree house?" Annie asked. "Follow me," said Jack. "I'm pretty sure I know where it is." They pushed through tall ferns. They scrambled over rocks and roots. They wove around trees, until they came to the rope ladder. "Yay! You found it!" said Annie. She and Jack climbed up into the tree house. From a distance came the sound of the flute. "That sweet music makes me miss home," said Annie. "Me too," said Jack. "Go back to Mom," said Annie, imitating Cria's tiny voice. "Go back to Dad," said Jack. Annie picked up their Pennsylvania book and found the picture of the Frog Creek

“树屋在哪儿？”安妮问。 “跟我来。”杰克说。“我很确定我知道它在哪里。” 他们穿过高大的蕨类植物。 他们爬过岩石和树根。 他们绕着树编织，直到来到绳梯前。 “耶!你找到了！”安妮说。 她和杰克爬上树屋。 从远处传来笛声。 “那悦耳的音乐让我想家，”安妮说。 “我也是，”杰克说。“回到妈妈身边去，”安妮模仿着克里娅细小的声音说。 “回到爸爸身边去，”杰克说。 安妮拿起他们的宾夕法尼亚书，发现了青蛙溪的照片

woods. "I wish we could go there," she said, pointing. The wind started to blow. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still. A warm breeze blew into the tree house. The air smelled of summer leaves and sunshine. Jack and Annie were wearing their shorts, T- shirts, and sneakers again. Jack's woven bag had become his backpack. "Home," Annie said. "For the picnic!" Jack reached into his backpack and pulled out Travel Guide: The Andes Mountains of Peru. He put the book on the floor. He took out Morgan's rhyme and looked at it.

树林。“我希望我们能去那里，”她指着说。 风开始起了。树屋开始旋转。 它转得越来越快。 然后一切都静止了。 绝对静止。一阵暖风吹进了树屋。 空气中弥漫着夏天树叶和阳光的味道。 杰克和安妮又穿上了短裤、T恤和运动鞋。 杰克的编织袋变成了他的背包。 “回家，”安妮说。“野餐！”杰克把手伸进背包，拿出《秘鲁安第斯山脉旅游指南》。 他把书放在地板上。 他拿出摩根的押韵诗看了看。
