The house was quiet at 5 am and Tims mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring of the freezer had been the sea. 下午5点，房间里很安静，蒂姆的妈妈在睡觉。偶尔冰箱发出的声音会打破宁静。他想着昨晚的洞穴。冰箱的蜂鸣声让他感到自己就在海上。 Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. Hed eat after he d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. 蒂姆穿上毛衣，将几个苹果放到书包里。还不到吃早饭的时候。他会穿过洞穴，坐在岩石上，看着大海吃苹果。 He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: 他希望有一个合适的背包。只能用书包充当下。还有别的东西要放吗?三明治，但是如果他取出面包做三明治，妈妈也许就会知道。她会想这么早他就离家的原因。于是他装了些饼干，在桌子上留了个条： Gone to Michaels Back tonight, Tim. 今晚去米Michaels Back，蒂姆。 The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasnt up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet. |
