"It's still here,” said Jack.

"It looks empty," said Annie.

Jack and his seven-year-old sister gazed up at a very tall oak tree. At the

top of the tree was a tree house.

Late-morning sunlight lit the woods. It was almost time for lunch.

"Shhh!” said Jack."What was that noise?"

"What noise?"

"I heard a noise," Jack said. He looked around. "It sounded like someone

coughing."

"I didn't hear anything," said Annie. "Come on. Let's go up."

She grabbed onto the rope ladder and started climbing.

Jack tiptoed over to a clump of bushes. He pushed aside a small branch.

"Hello?" he said. "Anybody there?"

There was no answer.

"Come on!” Annie called down. "The tree house looks the same as it did

yesterday.

Jack still felt that someone was nearby. Could it be the person who'd put

all the books in the tree house?

“Ja-ack!"

Jack gazed over the top of the bushes.

Was the mysterious person watching him now? The person whose name

began with M?

1.喵!

“它還在這里，”杰克說。

“它看起來很空，”安妮說。

杰克和他七歲的妹妹抬頭看著一棵很高的橡樹。 在

樹頂是一個樹屋。

清晨的陽光照亮了樹林。 差不多該吃午飯了。

“噓!” ”杰克說。“那是什么聲音?

“什么聲音?”

“我聽到了聲音，”杰克說。 他看了看周圍。 “聽起來像一個人

咳嗽。”

“我什么也沒聽到，”安妮說。 “走吧，我們上去吧。”

她抓住繩梯，開始往上爬。

杰克躡手躡腳地走向一叢灌木。 他推開了一根小樹枝。

“你好?” 他說。 “有人在嗎?”

沒有答案。

“來吧!” 安妮朝下叫道。 “樹屋看起來和原來一樣

昨天。

杰克仍然覺得有人在附近。 會不會是那個放的人

樹屋里所有的書?

“杰克!”

杰克凝視著灌木叢的頂端。

那個神秘人現在在看著他嗎? 名字的人

以 M 開頭?
