Message from Merlin
Early one summer evening, Jack lay on the couch, reading a book about the history of horses.
"Jack, could you run and get Annie from Jenny's house, please?" their mom called from the kitchen. "We're grilling hot dogs soon."
"Sure," said Jack. He closed his book, hopped off the couch, and headed out the front door. As he started down the porch steps, Annie charged into the
yard.
"It's back!" she said, out of breath.
"You're kidding!" said Jack.
"No! I'm serious!" said Annie. "On my way home from Jenny's, I checked the woods.I had a funny feeling it was back—and it was!"
"Are Merlin and Penny there?" asked Jack.
"I don't think so," said Annie. "I shouted hello, but no one answered. I wanted to come get you before I climbed up!"
梅林的消息
一个初夏的傍晚,杰克躺在沙发上,读着一本关于马的历史的书。
“杰克,你能跑过去把安妮从珍妮家里接过来吗?” 他们的妈妈从厨房打来电话。 “我们很快就要烤热狗了。”
“当然,”杰克说。 他合上书,跳下沙发,朝前门走去。 当他开始走下门廊台阶时,安妮冲进了
院子。
“回来了!” 她说,上气不接下气。
“你在开玩笑!” 杰克说。
“不,我认真的!” 安妮说。 “在从珍妮家回家的路上,我检查了树林。我有一种有趣的感觉,它又回来了——而且确实如此!”
“梅林和佩妮在吗?” 杰克问。
“我不这么认为,”安妮说。 “我打了声招呼,没人接,我想在爬上来之前来接你!”
