08 Dig,Dogs.Dig

Chapter 8. Dig Dogs Dig Pinky and Stinky tied their rope around the big rock. The wind howled. The two pirates pulled and pulled and pulled. They need help, said Jack. Aye, let the dogs do the work, growled Captain Bones. You're not very nice to them, said Annie. Who cares, roared Captain Bones. Come, we got it, shouted Pinky.

第八章。 小狗挖呀挖 平奇和斯丁奇把绳子绑在了大岩石上。 风在呼呼咆哮。 两个海盗拉啊拉，拉了又拉。 "他们需要帮忙。"杰克说。 "是啊，让那些狗来干吧。"骨头船长吼道。 "你对他们太不友善了。"安妮说。 "谁在乎。"骨头船长大叫道。 "加油，我们拉动啦！"平奇大喊道。

They started pulling the rock across the sand. Now let's dig where the rock was, said Jack, all of us. But Captain Bones ignored his suggestion. Dig, you dogs, he shouted. Pinky and Stinky started to dig. The wind blew even harder. There was going to be a thunderstorm. Uh -oh, I got sand in me eyes, Pinky whined. Ow, me back hurts, Stinky cried.

他们开始拉着岩石穿过沙地。 "现在我们所有人都去岩石原来的位置挖吧。"杰克说。 但骨头船长完全无视了他的提议。 "挖，你们这些狗东西。"他吼道。 平奇和斯丁奇开始挖了起来。 风刮得更猛了。 一场雷雨就要来了。 "哎呀，我眼睛里进沙子了。"平奇嘟囔道。 "哎哟，我背疼。"斯丁奇哭喊道。

Dig !" shouted Captain Bones. He held Jack and Annie with one hand. With the other, he pulled out the gold medallion. He tossed it at the two pirates. It fell into the hole. Dig for more of these, you swine! he said. Squawk! Look! Annie said. Polly was back. She was circling above them. Go back! she squawked.

"挖！"骨头船长大喊。他一只手抓着杰克和安妮，另一只手掏出了 那枚黄金徽章，朝两个海盗扔了过去，徽章掉进了洞里。 "挖更多这种东西出来，你们这两个蠢货！"他说。"嘎嘎！快看！"安妮喊道。波莉回来了。 她正在他们头顶盘旋。"回去！"她嘎嘎叫着。

Stinky and Pinky looked up at the parrot. They scowled. DIG! shouted Captain Bones. A big storm is coming, Captain! said Pinky. Go back! said Polly. The bird's an omen, Captain! shouted Stinky. DIG, you dogs! cried Captain Bones. Go back! squawked Polly. The bird's warning us! shouted Pinky. We gotta get back to the ship before it's too late! The two pirates threw down their shovels. They started running toward the rowboat. Mutineers, come back! shouted Captain Bones. He dragged Jack and Annie down the beach as he ran after his men. Stop! But the pirates kept running. They got to the rowboat and pushed it into the sea. Wait! cried Captain Bones. Pinky and Stinky jumped into the boat. They started rowing. Wait! Captain Bones let go of Jack and Annie. He ran into the water. Wait! you dogs! He hauled himself into the rowboat. Then the three pirates disappeared into the spray of the waves. Go back! squawked Polly. She means us! said Annie. Just then the storm broke over the island. The wind howled. Rain fell in buckets. Let's go! cried Annie. Wait! I have to get the medallion! shouted Jack. He ran to the hole dug by the pirates. He looked down in it. Even in the dreary light the medallion was shining. Big fat raindrops were falling into the hole washing away the sand. Jack saw a patch of wood. Then the rain cleared away more sand. And Jack saw the top of an old trunk. He stared. Was it Captain Kidd's treasure chest? Hurry! Jack! cried Annie. She was halfway up the treehouse ladder. I found it! I found it! cried Jack. I found the treasure chest! Forget the treasure chest! said Annie. We have to go now! The storm's getting worse! Jack kept staring at the chest. Was there gold inside? Silver? Precious gems? Come on! now Annie was shouting from the treehouse window. But Jack couldn't tear himself away. He brushed the rest of the muddy sand off the chest. Jack! Forget the treasure chest! cried Annie. Let's go! Go back! squawked Polly. Jack looked at the parrot. She was perched on the black rock. He stared into her wise eyes. He thought he knew her. Knew her from somewhere else. Go back! Jack! she said. She sounded like a person. Okay. It was definitely time to go. Jack took one last look at the treasure chest. He clutched the gold medallion. Then he took off, running toward the treehouse. His socks and rain boots were still there. He quickly pulled the boots on. He shoved the socks into his backpack. The rope ladder was dancing wildly in the wind. Jack grabbed it. The ladder swayed as Jack climbed. He was tossed this way and that, but he held on tight. Alas! he pulled himself into the treehouse. Let's go! he cried. Annie was already holding the Pennsylvania book. She pointed to the picture of Frog Creek. I wish we could go there! she shouted. The wind was already blowing hard, but now it blew even harder. The treehouse started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still. Chapter 9. The Mysterious M. Drip. Drip. Jack opened his eyes. Rain was dripping from the leaves of the tree. They were back in Frog Creek. The rain was softer. The wind was gentler. The air was sweeter. Oh man! Jack sighed. That was close. He was still holding the gold medallion. Polly's gone, said Annie sadly. I was hoping she might come back with us. No magic creature has ever come back with us. Said Jack. He pulled off his backpack. It was damp with rain and salt water. Jack took out the pirate book. He put it on the stack of books. On top of the dinosaur book and the knight book and the mummy book. Then Jack put the gold medallion beside the bookmark with the letter M. Next he went down onto his knees and ran his finger over the shimmering M on the floor. We didn't find any M's on this trip, he said. We're the M person, said Annie. Squawk. Polly, Annie cried. The parrot swooshed into the tree house. She perched on the stack of books. Polly looked straight at Jack. What are you doing here? he asked her. Slowly Polly raised her bright green wings. They grew bigger and bigger until they spread out like a huge green cape. Then in a great swirl of colors, in a blur of feathers and light, in a flapping and stretching and screeching, a new being took shape. Polly was not a parrot any longer. In her place was an old woman. A beautiful old woman with long white hair and piercing eyes. She wore a green feathered cape. She perched on the stack of books and she was very calm and very still. Neither Jack nor Annie could speak. They were too amazed. Hello Jack. Hello Annie. The old woman said, My name is Morgan Le Fay. Chapter 10 Treasure Again Annie found her voice first. The in -person, she whispered. Yes, I'm the in -person, said Morgan. Where are you from? asked Jack. Have you ever heard of King Arthur? said Morgan. Jack nodded. Well, I am King Arthur's sister, said Morgan. You're from Camelot, said Jack. I've read about Camelot. What did you read about? Me, Jack, said Morgan. You, you're a witch. Morgan smiled. You can't believe everything you read, Jack. But are you a magician? said Annie. Most call me an enchantress, but I'm also a librarian, said Morgan. A librarian? said Annie. Yes, and I've gone to the 20th century. Your time to collect books. You are lucky to be born in a time with so many books. For the Camelot Library? asked Jack. Precisely, said Morgan. I travel in this treehouse to collect words from many different places around the world and from many different time periods. Did you find books here? said Jack. Oh, yes, many wonderful books. I want to borrow them for our scribes to copy. Did you put all the bookmarks in them? said Jack. Yes. You see, I like the pictures in the books. Sometimes I want to visit the scenes in the pictures. So all the bookmarks mark places I wish to go. How do you get there? asked Annie. I placed a spell on the treehouse, said Morgan. So when I point to a picture and make the wish, the treehouse takes me there. I think you dropped this in dinosaur times, said Jack. He handed the gold medallion to Morgan. Oh, thank you. I wondered where I'd lost it, she said. She put the medallion into a hidden pocket in her cape. So can anybody work this spell? asked Annie. Anybody who tries it? Oh, dear, no, not just anybody, Morgan said. You, too, are the only ones besides me to do it. No one else has ever even seen my treehouse before. Is it invisible? asked Annie. Yes, said Morgan. I had no idea it would ever be discovered. But then you two came along. Somehow you hooked right into my magic. How? asked Jack. Well, for two reasons, I think, explained Morgan. First, Annie believes in magic, so she actually saw the treehouse. And her belief helped you to see it, Jack. Oh, man, said Jack. Then you picked up a book, Jack. And because you love books so much, you caused my magic spell to work. Wow, said Annie. You can't imagine my dismay when you started to take off for dinosaur times. I had to make a very quick decision, and I decided to come along. Oh, so you were the Pteranodon, said Annie. Morgan smiled. And the cat, and the knight, and Polly, said Annie. Yes, said Morgan softly. You were all these things to help us? asked Jack. Yes, but I must go home now. The people in Camelot need my help. You're leaving? whispered Jack. I'm afraid I must, said Morgan. She picked up Jack's backpack and handed it to him. Jack and Annie picked up their raincoats. It had stopped raining. You won't forget us, will you? asked Annie as they put their raincoats on. Never, said Morgan. She smiled at both of them. You remind me too much of myself. You love the impossible, Annie. And you love knowledge, Jack. What better combination is there? Morgan Lafay touched Annie's forehead gently, and then Jack's. She smiled. Goodbye, she said. Goodbye, said Annie and Jack. Annie left the treehouse first. Jack followed. They climbed down the rope ladder for the last time. They stood below the oak tree and looked up. Morgan was looking out the window. Her long white hair blew in the breeze. Suddenly the wind began to blow. The leaves began to shake. A loud whistling sound filled the air. Jack covered his ears and squeezed his eyes shut. Then everything was silent. Absolutely silent. Jack opened his eyes. The treehouse was gone. All gone. Absolutely gone. Annie and Jack stood a moment staring up at the empty oak tree, listening to the silence. Annie sighed. Let's go. She said softly. Jack just nodded. He felt too sad to speak. As they started walking, he put his hands into his pockets. He felt something. Jack pulled out the gold medallion. Look, he said. How did? Annie smiled. Morgan must have put it there, she said. But how? Magic, said Annie. I think it means she'll be coming back. Jack smiled. He clutched the medallion as he and Annie took off through the wet sunny woods. As they walked, the sun shined through the woods, and all the wet leaves sparkled. Everything, in fact, was shining. Leaves, branches, puddles, bushes, grass, vines, wildflowers, all glittered like jewels. Or gleamed like gold. Annie had been right, thought Jack. Forget the treasure chest. They had treasure at home. A ton of it everywhere. This is Mary Pope Osborne. We hope you've enjoyed this unabridged listening library production. Thank you for listening.

臭臭和粉红抬头看着鹦鹉。 他们皱起了眉头。 挖！ 骨头船长大吼。 船长，大风暴要来了！粉红说。 回去！波利说。 这只鸟是不祥之兆啊船长！臭臭大喊。 挖，你们这些狗东西！骨头船长喊道。 回去！波利嘎嘎叫着。 它在警告我们！粉红大喊。 我们得趁还来得及回到船上去！ 两个海盗扔下了铁锹。 他们开始朝着划艇跑过去。 叛徒，给我回来！骨头船长大吼。 他拽着杰克和安妮沿着海滩跑，追着他的手下。 站住！ 但海盗们还在往前跑。 他们跑到划艇边，把它推到了海里。 等等！骨头船长喊道。 粉红和臭臭跳进了船里。 他们开始划桨。 等等！骨头船长松开了杰克和安妮。 他跑进了水里。 等等！你们这些狗东西！ 他费劲地爬上了划艇。 然后三个海盗消失在了海浪的飞沫里。 回去！波利嘎嘎叫着。 她是说我们！安妮说。 就在这时，风暴席卷了整个小岛。 狂风呼啸，大雨倾盆而下。 我们走！安妮喊道。 等等！我得去拿徽章！杰克大喊。 他跑到海盗们挖的那个坑边。 他朝坑里看去。 哪怕光线昏暗，那枚徽章也在闪闪发亮。 大大的雨点掉进坑里，冲散了沙子。 杰克看到了一块木头。 接着雨水冲掉了更多沙子。 然后杰克看到了一个旧箱子的顶部。 他愣住了。 那是基德船长的宝箱吗？ 快点！杰克！安妮喊道。 她已经爬到树屋梯子的一半了。 我找到了！我找到了！杰克大喊。 我找到宝箱了！ 别管宝箱了！安妮说。 我们现在得走了！风暴越来越大了！ 杰克还盯着那个箱子看。 里面有金子吗？ 银子？珍贵的宝石？ 快点啊！这会儿安妮已经在树屋窗口大喊了。 但杰克实在舍不得走。 他把箱子上剩下的泥砂都扫掉了。 杰克！别管宝箱了！安妮喊道。 我们走！回去！波利嘎嘎叫着。 杰克看向那只鹦鹉。 她正停在黑色的岩石上。 他凝视着她那双充满智慧的眼睛。 他觉得自己认识她。 在别的什么地方见过她。 回去！杰克！她说。 她的声音听上去就像人一样。 好吧。确实该走了。 杰克最后看了一眼宝箱。 他紧紧攥着那枚金徽章。 然后他拔腿就往树屋跑。 他的袜子和雨靴还在那儿。 他飞快地穿上靴子。 他把袜子塞进了背包里。 绳梯在风中疯狂地晃来晃去。 杰克一把抓住了它。 杰克爬的时候梯子晃个不停。 他被晃得东倒西歪，但还是紧紧抓着梯子。 终于！他爬进了树屋里。 我们走！他喊道。 安妮已经拿着那本宾州的书了。 她指着青蛙溪的图片。 我希望我们能去那儿！她大喊。 风本来就刮得很大，现在更是越刮越猛。 树屋开始旋转起来。 它转得越来越快。 然后一切都静止了。 完全静止了。 第九章。 神秘的M。 滴答。滴答。 杰克睁开了眼睛。 雨水正从树叶上滴落下来。 他们回到青蛙溪了。 雨变小了。 风也变柔了。 空气也更清新了。 天呐！杰克叹了口气。 刚才太险了。 他手里还攥着那枚金徽章。 波利走了。安妮难过地说。 我还希望她能和我们一起回来呢。 从来没有魔法生物和我们一起回来过。 杰克说。 他脱下背包。 背包被雨水和海水打湿了。 杰克拿出了那本海盗的书。 他把它放到那堆书上面。 放在恐龙书、骑士书和木乃伊书的上面。 然后杰克把金徽章放到了印着字母M的书签旁边。 接着他跪下来，手指划过地板上那枚闪着光的M。 我们这次旅行没找到任何M。他说。 我们就是和M有关的人呀。安妮说。 嘎嘎。 波利！安妮大喊。 鹦鹉嗖地飞进了树屋。 她停在了那堆书上面。 波利直直地看着杰克。 你怎么在这儿？他问她。 波利慢慢张开了她鲜绿色的翅膀。 翅膀变得越来越大，最后展开得像一块巨大的绿色披风。 接着在一片绚烂的色彩漩涡里，在羽毛和光线的模糊虚影中， 伴随着扑翅声、伸展的动静和尖叫声，一个新的身影成型了。 波利不再是一只鹦鹉了。 站在那里的是一位老妇人。 一位漂亮的老妇人，有着长长的白发和锐利的眼睛。 她披着一件绿色的羽毛披风。 她坐在那堆书上，非常平静，一动不动。 杰克和安妮都说不出话来。 他们太惊讶了。 你好呀，杰克。 你好呀，安妮。 老妇人说道， 我叫摩根·勒·菲。 第十章 又见宝藏 安妮最先找回了自己的声音。 那个神秘人。她小声说。 对，我就是那个神秘人。摩根说。 你来自哪里？杰克问。 你听说过亚瑟王吗？摩根说。 杰克点了点头。 嗯，我是亚瑟王的姐姐。摩根说。 你来自卡米洛特。杰克说。 我读过关于卡米洛特的故事。 你都读到了什么？ 关于我吗，杰克？摩根说。 你，你是个女巫。 摩根笑了。 你不能相信书上写的所有东西哦，杰克。 那你是魔法师吗？安妮问。 大多数人叫我魔法师，但我同时也是个图书管理员。摩根说。 图书管理员？安妮说。 对呀，我去过20世纪。 去你们的时代收集书籍。 你们生在有这么多书的时代真幸运。 是给卡米洛特图书馆的吗？杰克问。 没错。摩根说。 我坐着这个树屋旅行，收集世界各地不同地方的文字 还有不同时代的文字。 你在这里找到书了吗？杰克问。 哦，是的，好多很棒的书。 我想把它们借回去让我们的抄写员抄下来。 这些书里的书签都是你放的吗？杰克问。 是的。 你看，我喜欢书里的图片。 有时候我想去看看图片里的场景。 所以所有书签都标记了我想去的地方。 你怎么去那些地方呢？安妮问。 我给树屋施了魔法。摩根说。 所以当我指着一张图片许愿的时候，树屋就会带我去那里。 我想这是你在恐龙时代掉的。杰克说。 他把金徽章递给了摩根。 哦，谢谢你。 我还在想我把它丢到哪里了呢。她说。 她把徽章放进了披风里的暗袋。 那任何人都能使用这个魔法吗？安妮问。 随便谁试试都可以吗？ 哦，天呐，不是的，不是谁都可以。摩根说。 除了我之外，只有你们两个可以用。 之前甚至从来没有人见过我的树屋。 它是隐形的吗？安妮问。 是的。摩根说。 我从没想过它会被人发现。 但你们两个出现了。 不知怎么的你们刚好能接上我的魔法。 怎么会呢？杰克问。 嗯，我想有两个原因。摩根解释道。 首先，安妮相信魔法，所以她真的能看到树屋。 她的信念也帮你看到了它，杰克。 哦，天呐。杰克说。 然后你拿起了一本书，杰克。 因为你太爱书了，所以你让我的魔法生效了。 哇。安妮说。 你们往恐龙时代飞去的时候，你都想不到我有多慌。 我得赶紧做决定，然后我就决定跟着你们一起去了。 哦，所以那只无齿翼龙是你变的。安妮说。 摩根笑了。 还有那只猫，那个骑士，还有波利，都是你。安妮说。 是的。摩根轻声说。 你变成这些东西都是为了帮我们吗？杰克问。 是的，但我现在得回家了。 卡米洛特的人们需要我的帮助。 你要走了吗？杰克小声问。 恐怕我必须得走了。摩根说。 她拿起杰克的背包递给了他。 杰克和安妮拿起了他们的雨衣。 雨已经停了。 你不会忘记我们的，对不对？ 他们穿雨衣的时候安妮问道。 永远不会。摩根说。 她对着两个人笑了笑。 你们让我想起了我自己。 你喜欢挑战不可能，安妮。 而你热爱知识，杰克。 还有比这更好的组合吗？ 摩根·勒·菲轻轻碰了碰安妮的额头，然后碰了碰杰克的。 她笑了。 再见啦。她说。 再见。安妮和杰克说。 安妮先离开了树屋。 杰克跟在后面。 他们最后一次爬下了绳梯。 他们站在橡树下抬头望。 摩根正从窗口往外看。 她长长的白发在微风中飘动。 突然风刮了起来。 树叶开始摇晃。 空气中传来响亮的呼啸声。 杰克捂住耳朵，紧紧闭上了眼睛。 然后一切都安静了。 完全安静了。 杰克睁开了眼睛。 树屋不见了。 全都消失了。 彻底消失了。 安妮和杰克站了一会儿，抬头望着空荡荡的橡树， 听着周围的寂静。 安妮叹了口气。 我们走吧。 她轻声说。 杰克只是点了点头。 他难过得说不出话来。 他们开始往前走的时候，他把手伸进了口袋里。 他摸到了什么东西。 杰克掏出了那枚金徽章。 看。他说。 怎么会？ 安妮笑了。 肯定是摩根放进去的。她说。 可怎么做到的？ 魔法呀。安妮说。 我觉得这说明她还会回来的。 杰克笑了。 他攥着徽章，和安妮一起跑进了雨后阳光照耀的树林里。 他们走着的时候，阳光穿过树林，所有沾着水的树叶都闪闪发光。 事实上，一切都在发光。 树叶、树枝、水坑、灌木、草地、藤蔓、野花，全都像珠宝一样闪闪发亮。 或者像金子一样发着光。 安妮说得对，杰克想。 别管什么宝箱了。 他们家里就有宝藏。 到处都是，多得数不清。 我是玛丽·波·奥斯本。 希望你们喜欢这套未删节的有声读物。 感谢您的收听。 《恐龙谷历险记》《迷雾中的骑士》《晨光木乃伊》和《海盗的藏宝图》。 文本版权1992、1993、1993、1994归玛丽·波·奥斯本所有。 制作版权2000归兰登书屋所有。 保留所有权利。 本有声节目由audible.com出品。 Audible。 无论你身在何处，好声音与你相伴。

Big, fat raindrops were falling into the hole, washing away the sand. Jack saw a patch of wood. Then the rain cleared away more sand, and Jack saw the top of an old trunk. He stared. Was it Captain Kidd's treasure chest? Hurry, Jack! cried Annie. She was halfway up the treehouse ladder. I found it! I found it! cried Jack. I found the treasure chest! Forget the treasure chest! said Annie. We have to go now! The storm's getting worse! Jack kept staring at the chest. Was there gold inside? Silver? Precious gems? Come on! Now Annie was shouting from the treehouse window. But Jack couldn't tear himself away.

又大又沉的雨点落进洞里，冲走了泥沙。 杰克看到了一小块木头。 接着雨水冲走了更多泥沙，杰克看到了一个旧箱子的顶部。 他瞪大了眼睛。 那是基德船长的藏宝箱吗？ “快点，杰克！”安妮喊道。 她已经爬到树屋梯子的半中间了。 “我找到了！” “我找到了！”杰克大喊。 “我找到藏宝箱啦！” “别管什么藏宝箱了！”安妮说。 我们现在得走了！ “暴风雨越来越大了！” 杰克一直盯着那只箱子。 里面有金子吗？ 银子？ 珍贵的宝石？ “快过来！” 这会儿安妮正趴在树屋的窗户边喊他。 可杰克根本挪不开脚。
