02-A CASTLE WITH BLOOD-RED WINDOWS

A CASTLE WITH BLOOD-RED WINDOWS The castle was surrounded by a deep moat filled with slimy green water. I stared at the building. The walls were made of huge SQUARE stones. Windows protected by THICK iron bars stared back at me. I flinched. The windowpanes were BLOOD-RED! Just then, a light came on in the highest tower. In the darkness, it looked like the glowing eye of a terrifying monster! Oh, how I wished I was home! My fur stood on end from fright, As quickly as it had turned on, the light flicked off again! It was then that I noticed the flag hanging from the castle's highest

城堡周围有一条很深的护城河，里面充满了粘稠的绿水。 我盯着那座建筑。墙是用巨大的方形石头砌成的。 被厚厚的铁栅栏保护着的窗户也盯着我。 我退缩。窗玻璃是血红色的!就在这时，最高的塔楼上亮了一盏灯。 在黑暗中，它看起来像一只可怕的怪物发光的眼睛!啊，我多么希望我是在家里啊!我吓得毛都竖起来了，灯刚一亮，就又熄灭了!就在那时，我注意到城堡最高的地方挂着一面旗帜

tower. It showed a picture of a blood-red cat! The cat's back was arched and its claws were drawn. In front of the entrance stood two cat statues. The cats' jaws were set in evil snarls. I gasped. All of these cats were beginning to give me the creeps. Was this the homeowners' way of scaring away the riffrats? Well, I guess it was cheaper than an alarm system. I studied the statues. One of them had a sign with instructions for the doorbell. It read: PRESS YOUR PAW HERE... IF YOU HAVE NO FEAR! I looked closer. The doorbell was blood-red! SHIVERING I pressed the ringer.

塔。它显示了一张血红色的猫的照片!那只猫弓着背，爪子伸着。 门口立着两个猫的雕像。 猫的下巴发出邪恶的咆哮。 我喘息着说道。所有这些猫开始让我起鸡皮疙瘩。 这是房主吓跑盗贼的方式吗? 我想这比警报系统便宜多了。 我研究了这些雕像。其中一间有一个牌子，上面写着按门铃的指示。 上面写着:把你的爪子压在这里… 如果你没有恐惧!我仔细看了看。 门铃是血红色的!我颤抖着按下了门铃。
