CHAPTER 7

第七章

Dreamweaver Lucas blew out the candle on his nightstand and snuggled under his feather bed cover. The moonlight twinkled on the water outside his window. He couldn't stop thinking about the mermaids. Soon he began to dream he was in the kingdom beneath the sea. He swam toward the coral castle. Wow, he thought. I can breathe normally underwater. He could see and hear, too. He glided to the castle door. Then he lifted the brass dolphin door knocker. Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound echoed through the water. Soon the door opened and the same mermaid with the long, flowing black hair answered the door. This time she wore her dark hair in a thick braid. A circlet of

Dreamweaver Lucas吹灭了床头柜上的蜡烛，蜷缩在他的羽绒床罩下。 月光在他窗外的水面上闪烁。 他一直在想美人鱼。 不久，他开始梦见他在海底的王国。 他向珊瑚城堡游去。 哇，他想。我能在水下正常呼吸。 他也能看能听。 他滑到城堡门口。 然后他举起了海豚形的黄铜门环。 繁荣!繁荣!繁荣!那声音在水中回响。 不一会儿，门开了，还是那个长着一头飘逸的黑发的人鱼开了门。 这次她把她的黑发编成了一条厚厚的辫子。 一圈
