10 After Lunch

Chapter 10, After Lunch. Jack opened his eyes. His heart was still racing. Hyena laughter still rang in his ears. We made it, said Annie. Yes, said Jack, but it was very close. Jack took another moment to calm down. Then he pulled the Africa book out of his pack and put it with the other books. Annie put the scroll with the other two scrolls. The giraffe was the true honey on that

第十章 午餐过后 杰克睁开了眼睛。 他的心脏还在怦怦直跳。 鬣狗的笑声还在他耳边回响。 我们成功了。安妮说。 是啊，杰克说，不过刚才真的太险了。 杰克又花了点时间平复心情。 然后他把那本非洲的书从背包里拿出来，和其他书放在一起。 安妮把卷轴和另外两个卷轴放在了一起。 长颈鹿才是那趟

trip," she said. Sweet and golden with danger all around it. Yep," Jack said. And now we have just one riddle to go. Yep," said Annie. Ready? Ready. She started down the ladder. Jack followed. When they hit the ground, they walked through the sunlit woods. It's time for lunch," said Jack. I'm full from our picnic," said Annie. Same here," said Jack. What do we tell Mom? said Annie. We say we ate our sandwiches coming back from the store," said Jack. What if she asks why? said Annie. Oh, just say we had a picnic with a Maasai warrior in Africa, said Jack.

旅程的真甜头，"她说。 甜甜的金灿灿的，四周还藏着危险。 没错，"杰克说。 现在我们就剩最后一个谜语要解啦。 对呀，"安妮说。 准备好了吗？ 准备好了。 她开始爬下梯子。 杰克跟在后面。 他们落地后，就穿过洒满阳光的树林。 该吃午饭啦，"杰克说。 刚才的野餐把我撑饱啦，"安妮说。 我也是，"杰克说。 我们要怎么跟妈妈说呀？ 安妮问。 我们就说从商店回来的路上把三明治吃掉了，"杰克说。 要是她问为什么呢？安妮说。 哦，就说我们在非洲和一位马赛勇士一起野餐了呀，杰克说。

Annie laughed. Right, she said, because we didn't want him to be mad at us for taking his honey. Right, said Jack, the honey from a beehive that a honey guide led us to. Right, said Annie, and that happened after an elephant gave me a shower and we scared off two hyenas. Right, said Jack, and after you fell into a mud hole because you were helping a million wild beasts migrate across a river. Right, said Annie, and all that was before a giraffe saved us from a lion. Right, said Jack. Jack and Annie left the Frog Creek woods and started up their sunny street. They were silent for a moment, then Jack pushed his glasses into place.

安妮笑出了声。 对哦，她说，因为我们不想让他因为我们拿了他的蜂蜜生气嘛。 没错，杰克说，就是那种蜂蜜向导带我们找到的蜂房里的蜂蜜呀。 对呀，安妮说，而且那还是在一头大象给我冲了澡，我们吓跑 两只鬣狗之后发生的事。 没错，杰克说，还是在你帮成百上千万 的野生动物渡河的时候掉进泥坑之后的事。 对呀，安妮说，这些事都发生在长颈鹿从狮子手里救下我们之前。 没错。杰克说。 杰克和安妮离开了青蛙溪树林，走上了洒满阳光的街道。 他们沉默了一会儿，然后杰克推了推鼻梁上的眼镜。

We better just say we ate our sandwiches on the way home from the store, he said. Right, said Annie. And if Mom asks why, started Jack. We'll just say it's a really long story, said Annie. Right, said Jack. With like ten chapters, Annie laughed. Good plan, she said. Very good plan, said Jack. They crossed their yard. They went up their steps and through their front door. We're back, Annie shouted. Great, called their mom. Ready for lunch?

我们最好还是说从商店回家的路上就把三明治吃了。他说。 对哦。安妮说。 要是妈妈问为什么的话，杰克开口说。 我们就说这说来话长啦。安妮说。 没错。杰克说。 差不多有十章那么长的故事哦。安妮笑着说。 好主意。她说。 非常棒的主意。杰克说。 他们穿过自家的院子。 他们走上台阶，推开前门走了进去。 我们回来啦！安妮大声喊。 太好了。妈妈应声回答。 准备好吃午饭了吗？
