Previously had four children Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy.In another book called The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe we have told of a wonderful adventure they had.They got into a mysterious wardrobe and found themselves in a world completely different from ours - the Kingdom of Narnia.There they became kings and queens and reigned for many, many years.But when they came through the cupboard door and re-entered our world, the adventure seemed to have happened only in an instant—at least no one noticed that they had left.And they never mentioned it to anyone except a very learned old man. (

That happened a year ago.Now, all four children sit on benches at the train station, surrounded by trunks and supply boxes.This is on the way back to school, where they will break up.The girls were going back to their school on a train that was coming in soon, and the boys were going back to their school on another train in about half an hour.Along the way, everyone was buzzing together, always feeling that they were still on vacation, but now, they were about to shake hands and say goodbye, which made everyone realize that the vacation was indeed over, and the days of school every day were about to begin again.The children couldn't help feeling down, and none of them could think of what to say.Lucy will be going to boarding school for the first time.

It was an empty, silent town station, and there was hardly anyone else on the platform except them.Suddenly, Lucy gave a soft squeak, as if stung by a wasp. What's the matter, Lou? asked Edmund. But before he finished speaking, he also cried out "Ouch". "Damn it..." Peter half-spoken, and suddenly changed his original intention to say, "Susan, let go! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?" Who touched you! "Susan said, "someone is pulling me, hey...hey...hey...don't pull me! " The faces of the children turned pale one by one. "Me too," breathlessly Edmund, "seems like someone's pulling me somewhere. It's terrible—oh, here it goes again!"

"Me too," cried Lucy, "oh, I can't take it anymore." "Quick!" cried Edmund. "Join your hands, and hold on! It's a magic--I feel right, quick!" "Yes," said Susan hastily, "hold hands. Oh, I'm afraid we can't stop for a while, oh..." Then there was a whirlwind, and the luggage, Changnan, platform and station all disappeared in a blink of an eye.The four children, holding hands and panting, found themselves standing in a forest--the trees were so thick here that their branches hung over them, leaving little room for movement.The children rubbed their eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello, Peter!" cried Lucy, "do you think we're back in Narnia again?" "It could be anywhere," Peter replied, "so many trees that I can't see anything a meter away. We'll have to look around and see if there's any open space outside. After a lot of effort, and with many cuts on their bodies, they finally walked out of the most densely wooded area.The light outside was much stronger, and after walking a few steps forward, they were suddenly surprised to find that they were standing on the edge of the woods, with a beach in front of them.Not far from them, the mild sea water gently surged up on the beach, stirring up layers of fine waves, which made almost no sound at all.There were no fields in sight, no clouds in the sky, just the blinding blue of the sea.Judging by the position of the sun, it was about ten o'clock in the morning.Several children stood quietly, bathed in the breath of the ocean. .

"Wow!" Peter couldn't help exclaiming, "The scenery here is so beautiful!" Five minutes later, everyone took off their shoes and walked into the cool and clear sea water. "It's better than going back to school in that stuffy car for Latin and French and algebra!" said Edmund.After that, for a long time, everyone was silent, just stepped on the water and walked forward, looking for shrimps and crabs in the water. "Nevertheless," said Susan after a while, "we must plan carefully, or we shall soon be hungry." "Didn't mother bring us sandwiches for the road?" said Edmund, "at least mine's here.

"Mine's gone," said Lucy, "I put it in the bag." "Mine is there, too," said Susan. "Mine's in my pocket, see, right on the beach," said Peter. "Two lunches for four, sure enough!" "I'm not hungry now, just a little thirsty," said Lucy. This made everyone feel thirsty.Of course, everyone gets thirsty after playing in the sea under the hot sun for a while. "Our situation is like a shipwreck at sea," said Edmund solemnly. "The shipwrecks in the books always find cool and sweet springs on desert islands. We should look for them too."

"You mean, we still have to go to the dense woods?" Susan asked. "No need," said Peter, "if there's any brooks, they'll babble down to the sea. We'll walk along the coast! Canon can find it. So they started wading back through the water.On the soft sand, they put on their shoes and socks.Edmund and Lucy had the whimsical idea of ​​throwing away their shoes and socks and going exploring barefoot, but Susan stopped them just in time, saying that it would be madness to do so. "Then you'll never get them back, but if we're staying here at night and it's cold again, what are you wearing?"

After they were dressed, they walked along the coast, with the sea on the left and the forest on the right.It is very quiet here, except for the occasional call of seagulls.The woods were so dense that the branches and leaves were so tangled that it was impossible to see inside, and in the depths of the woods there was silence—no birds, not even the movement of insects. , Shells, seaweed, sea anemones and small crabs in the crevices of the rocks are all very interesting. But when you're thirsty, you lose interest in them.To make matters worse, they soon felt hot and heavy on their legs after emerging from the cool water.Susan and Lucy had their own raincoats to fetch, and Edmund's coat had been left on the station bench, so now he and Peter took turns carrying Peter's coat.

Before long, the coast began to extend to the right.After about a quarter of an hour, they rounded a rocky cliff.The rocky cliff made a sharp turn ahead, leaving the sea area behind.Looking up, they saw a piece of wooded land across the strait, which was very similar to the land under their feet. "Is that an island? Or, perhaps, the two soon join together," said Lucy. "I don't know." Peter replied lazily.Everyone dragged their weary steps forward without speaking. The two coasts are getting closer.Every time they passed a headland, they expected to see the two banks meet, but they were always disappointed.Finally, they came to the schist.Climbing to the top of the rock, I saw a path stretching into the distance. "It's too bad!" said Edmund ruefully, "what a waste of time!"

We can't get to the woods over there at all - it's an island! " Indeed, from this point of view, the strait between the two sides is only about 30 meters, which is obviously the narrowest place.Further on, the coast continued to the right, and they could see the open sea between the island and the mainland.It seemed that they had walked more than half a circle along the island. "Look, what's that?" said Lucy suddenly, pointing to a silvery, long snake lying on the beach. "A brook, a brook!" The others cheered in unison.Although they were very tired, they jumped off the rock without hesitation, and ran towards the freshwater stream.They knew that the water in the upstream was the best to drink, so they walked upstream along the stream.The woods are still so dense, but fortunately over time, the creek has opened a channel: bend down, and in the natural tunnel built by the branches and leaves, you can go up the water.They knelt down by the first pool and drank their fill.Then soak your face in the water, and then put your arms in, until they reach the crook of the arm. "Excellent!" Edmund breathed a long sigh of relief. "Now, how about we have some sandwiches?" "Hey, shouldn't we save some?" Susan said hesitantly. "Maybe we'll need them more later." "We're not thirsty now," said Lucy, "and I wish we weren't as hungry as we were when we were thirsty." "But what about the sandwiches?" Edmund was still resigned. "We don't want to skip them and spoil them. Don't forget, it's very hot here, and we carry them in our pockets." It's been a long time." So they took out the two packs of sandwiches and divided them into four.To be honest, no one was full, but it was better than eating nothing.But what about the next meal?Lucy suggested going back to the sea to catch prawns, but there was no net.Edmund thought it best to collect gull's eggs in the crevices of the rocks, but no one could recall seeing gull's eggs anywhere, and if they found them, they could not be cooked.Peter thought, unless he was lucky, it wouldn't be long before he could have raw eggs to eat.Of course, he knew there was no need to say that.Susan began to regret having eaten the sandwich so early.The children were a little restless. Finally, it was Edmund who spoke "Listen, now we can only try our luck in the forest. Explorers, wandering knights, knights, and many such ancient people always managed to survive under such conditions. They ate roots, wild fruits and anything to satisfy the hunger.": "What rhizome?" Susan asked curiously. "I always thought it meant the roots," said Lucy. "Let's go," Peter encouraged everyone, "Edmund is right. We have to go and see, it's better than standing in the sun."" So they stood up and walked along the stream to the depths of the forest.The journey was very difficult, with dense branches and leaves blocking them, and they had to bend down or climb over the branches.They stumbled through a vast expanse of bushes such as the magpie.Clothes were torn and shoes were wet in the stream.Here and now, except for the sound of the stream and their own sounds, the woods were still silent.Just when they started to feel a little tired, they suddenly noticed a fresh fragrance coming from somewhere.Then, they saw a very bright color in the upper right. "Look!" cried Lucy, "I say it must be an apple tree." It was indeed an apple tree.They climbed up the steep slope vigorously, stepped on a path through the thorns, and came to the old tree.The trees were heavily laden with large, golden, firm, juicy apples. "There's more than one tree." Edmund slurred his words with his mouth full of apples. "Look there, and there." "No, look, there are dozens of fruit trees here!" Susan said, throwing away Yuli's core, and picked another big apple at the same time. "A long time ago, there must have been an orchard here. It must have been untended then, and the trees hadn't grown up." 5 "In other words, this is a small island that was once inhabited." Peter mused. "What's that?" Lucy pointed ahead. "My God! There's a wall there!" Startled Peter. "An old stone wall!" They pushed aside the fruit-laden branches and came up to the wall.The wall is very old, and some places have collapsed.The walls were covered with moss and those little yellow flowers that always grow on the walls.There was a tall arch in the wall, where there must have been a gate, but now the arch was almost blocked by the tallest apple tree. plugged up.The children broke some branches and climbed in.The light was evidently much brighter beyond the wall, and they were startled to find themselves in an open field.There are no trees here, just flat lawns with wildflowers in bloom.It is surrounded by gray walls covered with ivy.It's a bright, serene and mysterious place, but with a slightly gloomy feel.The four children stepped into the middle of the yard, very happy in their hearts.Now they can stretch their waists and move their limbs freely.
