Dinosaurs before Dark
1, Into the Woods
“Help, A monster！”said Annie.认识图形教学反思
“Yeah, sure！” said Jack.嘴角向下
“A real monster in Frog Creek, Pennsylvania.”
“Run, Jack！” said Annie. She ran up the road. Oh, brother.
This is what he got for spending time with his ven-year-old sister. Annie loved pretend stuff. But Jack was eight and a half. He liked real things.
“Watch out, Jack！The monster’s coming！Race you！”
“No, thanks！”said Jack.
Annie raced alone into the woods. Jack looked at the sky. The sun was about to t.
“Come on, Annie！It’s time to go home！”

But Annie had disappeared. Jack waited. No Annie.
“Annie！” he shouted again.
“Jack！Jack！Come here！” Jack groaned.
“This better be good,”he said.AC500
Jack left the road and headed into the woods. The trees were lit with a golden late-afternoon light.
“Come here！” called Annie.
There she was standing under a tall oak tree.
“Look,” she said. She was pointing at a rope ladder.
The longest rope ladder Jack had ever en.
“Wow…”he whispered.
The ladder went all the way up to the top of the tree.
There—at the top—was a tree hou.
It was tucked between two branches.
“That must be the highest tree hou in the world,”said Annie. “Who built it?” asked Jack. “I’ve never en it before.”
“I don’t know. But I’m going up,” said Annie.
“No. We don’t know who it belongs to.” said Jack.
“Just for a teeny minute,” said Annie. She started up the ladder. “Annie, come back！” She kept climbing.
Jack sighed, “Annie, it’s almost dark. We have to go home.”黯然销魂什么意思
Annie disappeared inside the tree hou.
”Annie…”
Jack waited a moment. He was about to call again when Annie poked her head out of the tree hou
window.
“Books！” she shouted.
“What?” “It’s filled with books！”
Oh, man！Jack loved books.
He pushed his glass into place. He gripped the sides of the rope ladder, and up he went.
2, the Monster
Jack crawled through a hole in the tree hou floor.
Wow. The tree hou was filled with books.
Books everywhere, very old books with dusty covers. New books with shiny, bright covers.
“Look. You can e far, far away,” said Annie. She was peering out the tree hou window.
Jack looked out the window with her. Down below were the tops of the other trees. In the distance he saw the Frog Creek library, the elementary school, the Park. Annie pointed in the other direction.
“There’s our hou！” she said. Sure enough, there was their white wooden hou with the green porch. Next door was their neighbor’s black dog，Henry. He looked very tiny.
“Hi, Henry！” shouted Annie.
“Shush！” said Jack. “We’re not suppod to be up here.” He glanced around the tree hou again.
“I wonder who owns all the books,” he said. He noticed bookmarks were sticking out of many of them.
“I like this one,” said Annie. She held up a book with a castle on the cover.
“Here’s a book about Pennsylvania,” said Jack. He turned to the page with the bookmark.
“Hey, there’s a picture of Frog Creek in here,” said Jack. “It’s a picture of the woods！”
“Oh, here’s a book for you,” said Annie. She held up a book about dinosaurs. A blue silk bookmark was sticking out of it.新年英文祝福语
“Let me e it.” Jack t down his backpack and grabbed the book from her. “You look at that one, and I’ll look at the one about castles,” said Annie.
“No, we better not,” said Jack. “We don’t know who the books belong to.”
But even as he said this, Jack opened the dinosaur book to where the bookmark was. He couldn’t help himlf. He turned to a picture of an ancient flying reptile – “A Pteranodon”. He touched the huge bat-like wings. “Wow,” whispered Jack. “I wish I could e a
Pteranodon for real.” Jack studied the picture of the odd-looking creature soaring through the sky.

“Ahhh！” screamed Annie.
“What？” said Jack.
“A monster！” Annie cried. She pointed to the tree hou window. “Stop pretending, Annie”, said Jack.
“No, really！” said Annie.
Jack looked out the window. A giant creature was gliding above the treetops！He had a long, weird crest on the back of his head, A skinny beak, and huge bat-like wings！
It was a real live Pteranodon！
The creature curved through the sky. He was coming straight toward the tree hou. He looked like a glider plane！
The wind began to blow. The leaves trembled.
Suddenly the creature soared up high into the sky. Jack nearly fell out the window trying to e it.
The wind picked up. It was whistling now.
The tree hou started to spin.
“What’s happening？” cried Jack.
“Get down！” shouted Annie.
She pulled him back from the window. The tree hou was spinning faster and faster. Jack squeezed his eyes shut. He held on to Annie. Then everything was still, absolutely still.
Jack opened his eyes.蜜腊
Sunlight slanted through the window, there was Annie, the books, his backpack. The tree hou was
still high up in an oak tree, But it wasn't the same oak tree.
3, Where Is Here?
Jack looked out the window. He looked down at the picture in the book. He looked back out the window. The world outside and the world in the picture—they were exactly the same.
The Pteranodon was soaring through the sky. The ground was covered with ferns and tall grass. There was a winding stream, a sloping hill and volcanoes in the distance.
“WH-where are we?” stammered Jack.
The Pteranodon glided down to the ba of their tree. The creature coasted to a stop and stood very still.
“What happened to us？” said Annie. She looked at Jack. He looked at her.
“I don’t know,” said Jack. “I was looking at the picture in the book—” “And you said, ‘Wow, I wish I could e a Pteranodon for real,’” said Annie.
“Yeah, and then we saw one. In the Frog Creek woods.” said Jack. “Yeah, and then the wind got loud. And the tree hou started spinning,” said Annie.
“And we landed here,” said Jack. “And we landed here,” said Annie. “So ” said Jack.
“So what?” said Annie.
“Nothing,” said Jack. He shook his head. “None of this can be real.”
Annie looked out the window again.
“But he’s real,” she said. “He’s very real.”
Jack looked out the window with her. The Pteranodon was standing at the ba of the oak tree like a guard. His giant wings were spread out on either side of him.
