Chapter 1

The Land of DREAMS

梦幻国度

CHAPTER ONE Enough Adventures The children had had enough of adventures for some time. Their mother set them to work in the garden, and they did their best for her. Nobody suggested going to the Enchanted Wood at all. "I hope old Moon-Face, Silky and the Saucepan Man got back to the tree safely," said Joe one day.

第一章 冒险够多啦 孩子们已经好长一段时间不想再冒任何险了。 妈妈让他们在花园里干活，他们都尽全力帮妈妈做事。 根本没人提过要去魔法森林的事。 “我希望月亮脸、小丝丝和平底锅先生都安全回到树里了。”有一天乔说道。

Moon-Face was wondering the same thing about the children. He and Silky talked about it. We haven't seen the children for ages," he said. "Let's slip down the tree, Silky, and make sure they got back all right, shall we? After all, it would be dreadful if they hadn't got back, and their mother was worrying about them."

月亮脸也正惦记着孩子们的安危呢。 他和小丝丝聊起了这件事。 “我们好久都没见到那些孩子了。”他说。 “小丝丝，我们溜到树下去看看他们是不是平安到家了，好不好？ 毕竟要是他们没回来，他们的妈妈正为他们担心，那可太糟糕了。”

So one afternoon, just after lunch, Silky, Moon-Face and the Saucepan Man walked up to the door of the cottage. Beth opened it and shrieked with delight.

于是一天下午，刚吃完午饭，小丝丝、月亮脸和平底锅先生就走到了小屋的门口。 贝丝打开门，开心得叫出了声。

"Moon-Face! So you got back safely after all! Come in! Come in, Silky dear. Saucepan, you'll have to take off a kettle or two if you want to get through the door." The children's parents were out for a while. The children and their friends sat and talked about their last adventure. "What land is at the top of the tree now?" asked Rick curiously.

“月亮脸！ 原来你们最后还是平安回来了呀！ 快进来！ 快进来呀，亲爱的小丝丝。 平底锅先生，你要是想进门，得先把身上的水壶摘下来一两个才行。” 孩子们的父母刚好出门了，要过一阵才回来。 孩子们和朋友们坐下来，聊着他们上次的冒险经历。 “现在树顶上面是什么国度呀？”里克好奇地问。

"Don't know," said Moon-Face. "Like to come and see?" "No, thanks," said Joe at once. "We're not going up there any more." "Well, come back and have tea with us," said Moon-Face. "Silky's got some Pop Cakes- and I've made some Google Buns. I don't often make them- and I tell you they're a treat!"

“不知道呀。”月亮脸说。 “想上去看看吗？”“不用啦，谢谢。”乔立刻回答。 我们再也不往上面去了。” “哎呀，那回来和我们一起吃茶点吧。”月亮脸邀请道。 “小丝丝准备了爆浆蛋糕——我还做了些咕咕小甜包。 我可不常做这个哦——跟你们说，味道特别棒！”
