1 What Feast?

Thanksgiving on Thursday.

《周四的感恩节》

Chapter 1. What feast? Come on, said Annie. She stood in the doorway to Jack's bedroom. Let's check the woods. But it's Thursday, said Jack. We're going to Grandmother soon. I know, said Annie. But I have a feeling the treehouse might be back. I think Morgan might have sent us a new rhyme. Jack trusted Annie's feelings. Okay, but we'll have to be quick, he said.

第一章 什么盛宴？ “快点呀。”安妮说。她正站在杰克卧室的门口。 咱们去树林里看看吧。 “可是今天是周四呀，”杰克说，“我们很快就要去奶奶家了。” “我知道呀，”安妮说，“但我感觉树屋说不定已经回来了。” 我觉得摩根可能给我们寄了新的谜语诗哦。 杰克一向相信安妮的直觉。 “好吧，不过我们得快点才行。”他说。

He threw his notebook and pencil into his backpack. He followed her downstairs Be back soon Jack called to their parents Very soon their dad said don't forget. It's Thursday said their mom. We're leaving for grandmothers at 9 I Know said Jack. We'll be back in 10 minutes Said Annie they hurried out of their house. They ran across their yard and up their street and into the Frog Creek woods Jack and Annie ran through light and shadow until they stopped under the tallest oak. Yay Said Annie you were right said Jack

他把笔记本和铅笔塞进背包，跟着安妮下了楼。 “我们很快就回来！”杰克朝爸爸妈妈喊道。 “要尽快哦。”爸爸说，“别忘了。”妈妈说，“我们9点就要出发去奶奶家，我” “知道啦。”杰克说，“我们10分钟就回来。” 安妮说。他们匆匆跑出家门，穿过院子，沿着街道跑过去，冲进了青蛙溪树林。 杰克和安妮在光影里跑啊跑，最后停在了最高的那棵橡树下。“耶！” 安妮叫道。“你说得没错。”杰克说。

High in the tree was the magic treehouse. Jack grabbed the rope ladder and started up. Annie was right behind him. They climbed into the treehouse. Sunlight slanted in through the window. Good! Our gifts from our last trips are still here, said Annie. She pointed to the scrolls from Shakespeare's theatre and the twig from the gorilla's. Proof we found the magic of the theatre and the magic of animals, said Jack. Look! said Annie. She pointed to a book lying in a dark corner. A piece of paper was sticking out of it. Jack pulled out the paper. It's from Morgan, he said. He read.

高高的树上正挂着那座魔法树屋。杰克抓住绳梯往上爬，安妮 紧跟在他身后。他们爬进树屋，阳光斜斜地透过 窗户照进来。 “太好了！我们上次旅行带回来的礼物还在这儿呢。”安妮说。她指了指从莎士比亚剧院带回来的卷轴 还有从大猩猩那里拿到的小树枝。 “这证明我们找到了剧院魔法和动物魔法呀。”杰克说。 “快看！”安妮说。她指着放在阴暗角落的一本书，有一张纸条从 书里露了出来。杰克抽出纸条。“是摩根寄来的。”他说，接着读了起来。

Dear Jack and Annie, good luck on your third journey to find a special magic. This rhyme will guide you. To find a special magic, when work and toil are done, gather all together, turn three worlds into one. Thank you, Morgan." So who do we gather with? wondered Jack. Annie held up the book. The painting on the cover showed a basket of corn on a wooden table. The title said, A Feast to Remember. We gather at a feast, she said. She pointed to the cover. I wish we could go there.

亲爱的杰克和安妮：祝你们第三次寻找特殊魔法的旅程顺利。这首谜语诗 会指引你们。要找特殊魔法，等劳作都结束，大家聚在一处， 将三个世界合为一体。谢谢你们，摩根。 “那我们要和谁聚在一起呀？”杰克纳闷道。安妮举着那本书，封面上的 画是木桌上放着一篮玉米，书名是《一场难忘的盛宴》。 “我们要去一场盛宴上聚会呀。”她指着封面说，“真希望我们能去那里。”

Hold on, said Jack, what kind of feast, where and when? But the wind had started to blow, the treehouse started to spin, it spun faster and faster, then everything was still, absolutely still.

“等一下，”杰克说，“是什么样的盛宴？在哪里？什么时候的？” 可这时已经刮起了风，树屋开始旋转，转得越来越快，越来越快， 接着一切都静止了，完完全全地静止了。
