08 Yum

Chapter 8. Yum. The warrior stared back at Jack and Annie. We were helping one of your honey guides, said Annie. The warrior was as still as a statue. We didn't mean to steal anything, Jack said. In fact, it's all yours. We've had enough. Lots of good honey still there, Annie said, smiling. The warrior narrowed his eyes.

第八章 好吃。那名勇士正回盯着杰克和安妮。 “我们刚才在帮你们的一只蜂蜜向导呢。”安妮说。勇士像雕像一样一动不动。 “我们没想偷任何东西，”杰克说，“其实这些全是你的，我们已经吃够了。” “里面还剩好多好吃的蜂蜜呢。”安妮笑着说。勇士眯起了眼睛。

Is he angry? Jack wondered. I'm sorry we were trespassing, said Jack. We come in peace. In fact, we bring gifts. He picked up his backpack and held it out to the warrior. The warrior still didn't move. This? Jack held up his book. Nothing. Uh -uh. Jack reached into his pack. He pulled out the big jar of peanut butter. Peanut butter? He pulled out the loaf of bread. Bread? Hey, hey, how about a peanut butter and honey sandwich? Yum, Annie said, watching the warrior. The warrior stared at the food. We'll show you, said Jack. As Jack unwrapped the bread, his hands shook.

他是不是生气了？杰克暗自想。 “很抱歉我们擅自闯入了，”杰克说，“我们没有恶意。其实我们还带了礼物呢。” 他拿起自己的背包递给勇士。勇士还是没 动。 这个？杰克举了举他的书。没用。 不对哦。 杰克把手伸进背包，掏出一大罐花生酱。 花生酱？他又掏出一条面包。面包？嘿嘿，做个花生酱 蜂蜜三明治怎么样？ 哇好棒，安妮盯着勇士说道。勇士盯着这些食物看。 我们做给你看呀，杰克说。他拆面包包装的时候，手都在抖。

Annie opened the jar. We don't have anything to spread it with she said use your fingers said Jack Excuse me Annie said to the warrior. I have to use my fingers, but they're pretty clean an elephant Just just do it Annie said Jack. Okay. Okay She spread the peanut butter onto a slice of bread with her fingers at the same time Jack spread the honey from the beehive on another slice Jack and Annie put their pieces of bread together Tada said Annie handing the sandwich to the warrior the warrior took the sandwich

安妮打开了罐子。 “我们没有东西可以抹酱呀。”她说。“用手指就行。”杰克说。 “不好意思哦，”安妮对勇士说，“我得用手指啦，不过我的手超干净的，刚才大象还” “你就赶紧弄吧安妮。”杰克说。“好的好的。” 她用手指把花生酱抹在一片面包上，与此同时 杰克把蜂巢里的蜂蜜抹在另一片面包上。 杰克和安妮把两片面包合到一起。 当当！安妮说着把三明治递给勇士，勇士接过了三明治。

He didn't eat it. He just looked at it. Let's make sandwiches for us too, Jack said, so he doesn't have to eat alone. They quickly made two more sandwiches. See? Like this, said Annie. She bit into her sandwich. Mmm. Yum. Jack took a bite too. Mmm, he said. It was really good. Finally the warrior bit into his sandwich. He chewed slowly. This is called a picnic, said Annie. They ate their sandwiches in silence. When they finished, Jack screwed the lid back on the peanut butter jar. Not bad, huh? He said. The warrior smiled. He had a kind, dignified smile. Jack and Annie smiled back at him.

他没吃，只是盯着三明治看。 我们也给自己做三明治吧，杰克说，这样他就不用一个人吃啦。 他们很快又做了两个三明治。 你看？像这样哦。安妮说着咬了一口自己的三明治。 嗯，太好吃啦。 杰克也咬了一口。 嗯，他说，味道真的很不错。 终于，勇士咬了一口手里的三明治。 他慢慢咀嚼着。 这叫做野餐哦。安妮说。 他们安安静静地吃着三明治。 吃完之后，杰克把花生酱罐子的盖子拧了回去。 味道不错吧？他说。 勇士笑了，他的笑容温和又庄重。 杰克和安妮也对着他笑了笑。

Then the warrior turned gracefully and vanished into the trees. Oh, man, said Jack. Part of him wanted to follow the silent warrior through the shadowy forest. Ready? Annie asked softly. Jack nodded. Annie started to go. Wait, said Jack. He put away the peanut butter and bread. We're going back to the treehouse, right? We're not going to do anything silly, like rescue anything or chase birds, right? Those things aren't silly, said Annie. Don't forget that the bird gave us the answer to the riddle. Oh, right, said Jack. He looked at the little honey guide.

然后勇士优雅地转过身，消失在了树林里。 哇哦。杰克感叹道。 他有点想跟着这位沉默的勇士，走进那片幽暗的森林里。 准备好了吗？ 安妮轻声问道。 杰克点了点头。 安妮准备出发了。 等一下。杰克说。 他把花生酱和面包收了起来。 我们是回树屋对吧？ 我们不会做什么傻事，比如救什么东西或者追鸟对吧？ 那些才不是傻事呢。安妮说。 别忘了就是那只鸟给了我们谜语的答案呀。 哦对哦。杰克说。 他看向那只小小的蜂蜜向导鸟。
