CHAPTER SIX Under the Moon "Good grief," breathed Jack. "That family has problems." "Maybe we should help them," said Annie. "No, we can't," said Jack. "Right now we have our own problem. We have to start working on our

mission. Darn! I should have asked Nan's dad about the artists in the palace." "I think he's too upset to think about that now," said Annie. "You're right," said Jack. "So we need to find some friendly people who work here and ask them." "Let's go look for help," said Annie. As Jack and Annie started toward the door, Nan rushed into the room again. "Has Wolfie come back?" she asked frantically. "I'm afraid not," said Annie. "Oh, dear! Papa will die if Wolfie doesn't return soon!" said Nan, near tears. "Can you help me find him, please?"

的使命。该死的!我应该问问南的爸爸宫殿里那些艺术家的事。” “我想他现在太难过了，不想去想这件事，”安妮说。 “你说得对，”杰克说。 “所以我们需要找一些在这里工作的友好的人，问问他们。” “我们去找人帮忙吧，”安妮说。 当杰克和安妮朝门口走去时，南又冲进了房间。 “小狼回来了吗？”她疯狂地问。 “恐怕不行，”安妮说。 “哦,亲爱的!如果小狼不快点回来，爸爸就会死的！”南几乎要哭了。 “你能帮我找到他吗？”

"Well, we'd really like to," said Jack, "but—" "Please!" said Nan again. "Please?" Jack sighed. "Okay," he said. "Sure." "Thank you!" said Nan. "The palace is very large. I'll go this way, and you go that way. Surely one of us will find him!" She hurried out of the room. "I'll bet I know where Wolfie is," said Annie. "The garden. Remember he kept talking about the garden?" "Oh, yeah. I think the garden is below that terrace where I went after everyone laughed at me," said Jack. "Let's go check." Jack led Annie back through one of the elegant palace rooms and into the party room. Everyone

“嗯，我们真的很想去，”杰克说，“但是——”“拜托！”南又说。 “好吗?”杰克叹了口气。“好吧，”他说。 “当然。”“谢谢你！”南说。 “宫殿很大。 我走这边，你走那边。 我们一定会有人找到他的！”她匆匆走出房间。 “我敢打赌我知道小狼在哪里，”安妮说。 “花园。还记得他一直在说花园吗？”“哦,是的。 我想花园就在我去的那个露台下面，大家都嘲笑我。”杰克说。 “我们去看看。”杰克领着安妮穿过一间优雅的宫殿房间，走进了宴会厅。 每个人都

was still seated, eating dinner and talking loudly. No one noticed as Jack and Annie hurried through the double doors and slipped into the room off the terrace. Jack opened the door, and he and Annie stepped outside. The air was chilly, but it felt good. Jack pulled off his hat and his wig. He gave his head a good scratch. Annie looked down at the moonlit garden. "Do you think that's the garden Wolfie was talking about?" she said. The silver light of the full moon shone on a large square with flower beds and fountains. Woods bordered the square. Cricket sounds filled the night.

仍然坐着，吃着晚饭，大声说话。 没有人注意到，杰克和安妮匆匆穿过两扇门，从阳台上溜进了房间。 杰克打开门，他和安妮走了出去。 空气很冷，但感觉很好。 杰克摘下帽子和假发。 他使劲搔自己的头。 安妮低头看着月光下的花园。 “你认为那就是小狼说的花园吗？”她说。 满月的银光照在一个有花坛和喷泉的大广场上。 树林环绕着广场。 蟋蟀的声音充斥了整个夜晚。

"Probably," said Jack. "Wolfie!" There was no answer. "Let's go down and look for him," said Annie. Leaving his wig and hat behind, Jack followed Annie down the stone stairway. As they started across the square, a strange sound came from the woods: AI-YEE! "What was that?" said Jack. Two creatures scampered out from the trees. "Ahh!" said Jack. "Don't worry," said Annie. "It's just a squirrel and a cat." The squirrel dashed over the flower beds and disappeared. The cat ran after it.

“可能吧，”杰克说。“Wolfie !”没有人回答。 “我们下去找他吧，”安妮说。 杰克扔下假发和帽子，跟着安妮下了石阶。 当他们开始穿过广场时，一个奇怪的声音从树林里传来：爱yee ！“那是什么？”杰克问。 两个生物从树林里窜了出来。 “啊！”杰克说。“别担心，”安妮说。 “只是一只松鼠和一只猫。” 松鼠从花坛上冲了过去，不见了。 猫追着它跑。

"Yeah, but what was that noise from the woods?" said Jack. "I've never heard a squirrel or a cat make a sound like that." Another sound came from behind the trees: WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP! "What was that?" Jack said. "An owl maybe?" said Annie. "I've never heard an owl make a noise like that!" said Jack. "Have you?" KER-LOO! KER-LOO! "Yikes! What was that?" said Annie. "I don't know. Those woods sound like a jungle," said Jack. "Wolfie!" yelled Annie.

“是啊，可是树林里传来的声音是什么？”杰克说。 “我从来没听过松鼠或猫发出这样的声音。” 另一个声音从树后传来：呜呜-呜呜-呜呜！“那是什么？”杰克说。 “也许是猫头鹰？”安妮说。 “我从来没听过猫头鹰发出那样的声音！”杰克说。 “你呢?”KER-LOO !KER-LOO !“呀! !那是什么声音？”安妮说。 “我不知道。那些树林听起来像丛林，”杰克说。 “狼！”安妮喊道。
