Chapter 10 Home Before Dark
... ...
Seconds later they hopped onto the ground and started walking out of the woods.
"No one's going to believe our story," said Jack.
"So let's not tell anyone," said Annie.
"Dad won't believe it," said Jack.
"He'll say it was a dream," said Annie.
"Mom won't believe it," said Jack.
"She'll say it was pretend," said Annie.
"My teacher won't believe it," said Jack.
"She'll say you're nuts," said Annie.
"We better not tell anyone," said Jack.
"I already said that," said Annie.
Jack sighed. "I think I'm starting to not believe it myself," he said.
They left the woods and started up the road toward their house.
As they walked past all the houses on their street, the trip to dinosaur time did seem more and more like a dream.
Only this world and this time seemed real.
Jack reached into his pocket. He clasped the gold medallion.
He felt the engraving of the letter M. It made Jack's fingers tingle.
Jack laughed. Suddenly he felt very happy.
He couldn't explain what had happened today. But he knew for sure that their trip in the magic tree house had been real.
Absolutely real.
"Tomorrow," Jack said softly, "we'll go back to the woods."
"Of course," said Annie.
"And we'll climb up to the tree house," said Jack.
"Of course," said Annie.
"And we'll see what happens next," said Jack.
"Of course," said Annie. "Race you!"
And they took off together, running for home.
The End.
看了《神奇樹屋》系列的第一本勉盅，聽說適合7、8歲的英語國家孩子看的...作為超齡兒童挑胸，雖然故事情節(jié)對于我可能沒那么震撼宰闰，但最后一段寫得真貼切。有些事發(fā)生得恍惚移袍，但真要從夢中醒來時，倒希望這一切都是真的葡盗。獎章上雕琢的紋路咯得jack手指生疼，但同時也給他吃了顆定心丸：放心吧路狮，這一切都是真的。
