By Moonlight
“Jack!" whispered a voice.
Jack opened his eyes. He saw a figure in the moonlight.
"Wake up. Get dressed."It was his sister, Annie.
Jack turned on his lamp. He rubbed his eyes.
Annie was standing beside his bed. She wore jeans and a sweatshirt.
"Let's go to the tree house," she said.
"What time is it?" asked Jack. He put on his glasses.
"Don't look at your clock," said Annie.
Jack looked at his clock. "Oh, man," he said. "It's midnight. It's too dark."
"No, it isn't. The moon makes it bright enough to see," said Annie.
"Wait till morning." said Jack.
月光下
“杰克!”一个声音低声说。
杰克睁开眼睛。 他在月光下看到了一个人影。
“起床。穿上衣服。” 是他的妹妹安妮。
杰克打开他的灯。 他揉了揉眼睛。
安妮站在他的床边。 她穿着牛仔裤和运动衫。
“我们去树屋吧,”她说。
“现在是几奌?” 杰克问。 他戴上眼镜。
“别看你的钟,”安妮说。
杰克看了看他的时钟。 “哦,伙计,”他说。 “现在是午夜。太黑了。”
“不,不是。月亮让它亮得可以看见,”安妮说。
“等到早上。” 杰克说。
