13-LAAAAAND Ho!

LAAAAAND Ho! Finally, at sunrise on the eighth day of our pajama-sailing adventure, I heard someone squeaking, "Laaaaand ho!" I stared at the island emerging from the waves. It got closer and closer. The sea flowed beneath us like an emerald-green carpet. Ben was the first one to reach the island. The beach was covered with fine white sand. When my cousin landed, he flopped onto his belly and kissed the ground. Then he turned toward us, snout covered in sand. He looked like he'd just eaten a doughnut. "Ratlings," he said. "No one is going to unglue me from this spot! From now on I am a land mouse, not a sea mouse! and proud of it!"

LAAAAAND Ho !终于，在我们穿着睡衣航海探险的第八天，太阳升起的时候，我听到有人吱吱地叫:“哇!”我凝视着浮出水面的小岛。 它越来越近了。海水像翠绿的地毯一样在我们脚下流淌。 本是第一个到达小岛的人。 海滩上覆盖着细白的沙子。 当我的表弟落地时，他扑通一声趴在地上，亲吻着地面。 然后他转向我们，鼻子上沾满了沙子。 他看起来像刚吃了个甜甜圈。 “响尾蛇。”他说。“没人能把我从这个地方弄下来!”从现在起，我是一只陆地老鼠，不是一只海洋老鼠!并为此感到自豪!”
