CHAPTER ONE To the Sammer Palace Jack was sitting at the computer in the living room. He was doing research on penguins for a school project. His mom and dad were cooking in the kitchen. Jack could smell bread baking in the oven and spaghetti sauce bubbling on top of the stove.

第一章到夏宫杰克坐在客厅的电脑前。 他当时正在为学校的一个项目研究企鹅。 他的爸爸妈妈正在厨房做饭。 杰克能闻到烤箱里烤面包的味道，还有炉子上意大利面酱冒着泡的味道。

"Jack!" Annie burst into the living room. "Come with me!" she said. "What's going on?" said Jack. "They're here!" said Annie. "Teddy? Kathleen?" asked Jack. Annie nodded, her eyes shining. "Oh, man!" Jack whispered. He jumped up from his chair and grabbed his jacket and backpack. "Mom, Dad—we'll be back soon!" he called. "Dinner's in thirty minutes," their mom called from the kitchen. "No problem!" said Annie. Then she and Jack headed out the front door into the cool spring air.

“杰克!”安妮冲进客厅。 “跟我来！”她说。“怎么回事？”杰克问。 “他们来了！”安妮说。 “泰迪?凯瑟琳？”杰克问。 安妮点了点头，眼睛闪闪发光。 “哦,男人!”杰克小声说。 他从椅子上跳起来，抓起夹克和背包。 “妈妈，爸爸——我们很快就回来！”他喊道。 “30分钟后开饭，”他们的妈妈从厨房喊道。 “没问题！”安妮说。然后，她和杰克走出前门，呼吸着春天的凉爽空气。

"Where did you see them?" said Jack. "At the edge of the woods!" said Annie. "I was riding my bike home from my piano lesson. When they saw me, they waved." "You didn't stop and talk to them?" said Jack. "No, I pointed to the house," said Annie, "to let them know I had to get you first." "Oh! Thanks!" said Jack. "We'd better hurry!" "I wonder where they're sending us!" said Annie as they crossed their yard and headed up the sidewalk. "I wonder what our next mission is! Hey, did you bring the Wand of Dianthus?" "Yep, it's in my backpack!" said Jack.

“你在哪里看到他们的？”杰克说。 “在树林的边缘！”安妮说。 “我上完钢琴课正骑自行车回家。 当他们看到我时，他们向我挥手。” “你没有停下来和他们谈谈吗？”杰克说。 “不，我指着房子，”安妮说，“让他们知道我得先找到你。” “哦!谢谢！”杰克说。“我们最好快点！”“我想知道他们要把我们送到哪里去！”安妮说，这时他们穿过院子，走上人行道。 “我想知道我们的下一个任务是什么！”嘿，你把Dianthus魔杖带来了吗？”“是的，在我的背包里！”杰克说。

Jack and Annie ran into the Frog Creek woods. They hurried through the shadowy light of late afternoon, until they came to the tallest tree. Jack looked up. The tree house was back. The two young enchanters from Camelot were looking out the window. "Hi!" yelled Jack and Annie. "Hello!" Teddy and Kathleen shouted. Annie grabbed the rope ladder and climbed up into the tree house. Jack followed. "We're so glad you're back!" said Annie. She hugged Teddy and Kathleen. Jack hugged them, too. "How's Penny?" Jack asked. He'd been missing the little penguin they had given Merlin on their

杰克和安妮跑进了青蛙溪的树林。 他们匆匆穿过傍晚的朦胧的光线，来到最高的一棵树前。 杰克抬起头来。树屋回来了。 两个从卡梅洛特来的年轻魔法师正望着窗外。 “嗨！”杰克和安妮喊道。 “你好!”特迪和凯萨琳喊道。 安妮抓住绳梯，爬上树屋。 杰克跟着。“我们很高兴你回来了！”安妮说。 她拥抱了泰迪和凯瑟琳。 杰克也拥抱了他们。“一分钱怎么样?”杰克问。 他一直想念他们给梅林的小企鹅

last adventure. "Oh, Penny and Merlin have become the best of friends," said Kathleen. "She has brought him much joy and laughter." "Cool," said Jack. He wasn't surprised. Penny had made him really happy, too. "What do you want us to do now?" said Annie. "On your last missions, you found secrets of happiness to help Merlin," said Kathleen. Jack and Annie nodded. "Now, on your next mission, Merlin wants you to help bring happiness to millions of people," said Kathleen. "Whoa," said Jack. "That's a big job."

最后的冒险。“哦，佩妮和梅林成了最好的朋友，”凯瑟琳说。 “她给他带来了许多欢乐和笑声。” “酷，”杰克说。他并不感到惊讶。 佩妮也让他很开心。 “你现在想让我们做什么？”安妮说。 “在你最后的任务中，你找到了快乐的秘密来帮助梅林，”凯瑟琳说。 杰克和安妮点了点头。“现在，在你的下一个任务中，梅林希望你帮助给数百万人带来幸福。”凯瑟琳说。 “哇，”杰克说。“这是个大工程。”
