Chapter 5 Chapter Four Tired Dreams

All of a sudden, it seemed to Emil that the train was always going around in circles like a toy train.He looked out of the window, it was really strange.The circle gets smaller and smaller.The locomotive was getting closer and closer to the last carriage.It seems that the locomotive did this on purpose!A train goes around itself like a dog biting its own tail.In this fast-moving black circle, there were trees, a glass mill, and a two-hundred-story building. Emile wanted to see what time it was, and reached into his pocket for his watch.Take it out, take it out, finally it's out.At first glance, it was the clock in my mother's room.He looked at the dial, and it read: "One hundred and eighty-five kilometers per hour. Spitting on the floor is life-threatening." He looked out the window again, and ho, the locomotive was getting closer to the last car.He was terrified.If the locomotive collides with the last car, there will be an accident.This is obvious.He couldn't just sit in the car and wait to die anyway.

Emil quickly opened the door and ran forward along the carriage.Is the train driver asleep?As Emile ran forward, he also looked into the window of the carriage.There was no one in the car.The whole bus was empty.Emile saw only one person, and this person was wearing a top hat made of chocolate, and he was tearing off a large piece of the hat brim and swallowing it.Emil knocked on the glass window, pointed to the direction of the train, and told him to look, but he just smiled, broke off another piece of chocolate, stuffed it into his mouth, and touched his belly with his hands, eating with relish.

At last the Emil arrived at the tender.At this time, he came to an out-and-out pull-up movement and climbed to the driver.The driver was squatting on the driver's platform, waving his whip with one hand and pulling the rope with the other, as if a horse was tied to the front of the car.Not bad at all!And indeed the train was drawn by twelve great horses, each with silver skates on its hooves, running along the tracks singing: I must leave you and wander into the city. Emil pushed the driver and shouted, "Stop! Stop! You'll get into trouble!" Only then did he realize that the driver was none other than Sheriff Nashi. Mr. Ke.

He stared aggressively at the Emil and shouted: "Who are those boys? Who drew on the head of Grand Duke Karl?" "It's me!" Emil said. "Who else?" "I will not tell you!" "Okay, then let's drive around the circle like before!" As he said that, Sheriff Na Shike raised his whip and lashed the horse's back, and the big horse put up its front hooves and galloped faster towards the last carriage.In the last car sat Mrs. Jacobs, waving her shoe, frightened to death, because the horse was about to bite her toe. "Monsieur Inspector, I'll give you twenty marks," cried the Emile.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Na Shike frantically whipped his whip towards the horse's back after finishing speaking. At this time, Emile couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped off the train.He rolled twenty somersaults down the hillside before rolling to the ground, and he was not injured at all.He stood up and looked back towards the train. The train also stopped, and the heads of the twelve horses were pointing at the Emil. The sheriff Nashike jumped up, whipped the horses, and yelled: "Go, drive! Follow him!" At this moment Suddenly, twelve horses jumped out of the track and ran towards Emir, and the carriage jumped around like a ball.

Emil didn't have time to think about it, so he ran as fast as he could.He crossed a meadow, walked through the woods, crossed the creek, and headed straight for the skyscraper.Sometimes he looked back; the train rumbled behind him.Trees were knocked down and crushed by the speeding train.There are only two big oak trees standing there.Fat Mrs. Jacob sat on the tallest branch, swaying to and fro in the wind, and she wept because Because the shoes haven't been buckled yet.Emile kept running forward. The two-hundred-story skyscraper has a big black door.Emil stepped into the gate with his front foot, passed through the door opening, and ran out from the other end, and the train arrived behind him.Emil really wanted to hide in some corner and sleep with him, because he was so tired and trembling all over.But how dare he sleep!The train was already rumbling through the building.

Emil saw an iron ladder, leaning against the side of the building, leading to the roof.So he started climbing ladders, luckily he's a pretty good gymnast.As he climbed, he counted how many floors he had climbed.When he reached the fiftieth floor, he still dared to turn his head and look down.The trees had grown so small that the glass mill was barely noticeable.Oops, amazing!The train is coming upstairs! Emile continued to climb, higher and higher.The train rattled up the ladder, thinking it was on the rails. One hundred floors, one hundred and twenty floors, one hundred and forty floors, one hundred and sixty floors, one hundred and eighty floors, one hundred and ninety floors!Two hundred floors!Emile climbed to the roof.What to do next, he didn't know.

The neighing of the horse could be heard clearly.At this moment, he ran to the other end of the roof, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and spread it out.When the twelve sweaty horses dragged the train up to the roof, Emil lifted the spread handkerchief high above his head and jumped into the air.At first he could hear the sound of the train knocking down the chimney as it flew by.After a while, he could hear nothing and see nothing. Then, with a thump, he fell onto the grass. He closed his eyes and lay on the grass exhausted, really wanting to have a beautiful dream.But he was still worried, and looked up the building again.Heck, the twelve horses on the roof have opened their umbrellas.Sheriff Naschke has an umbrella too, and he's driving the horses with it.The horses jumped off with a kick on their hind legs.At the same time, the train landed on the grass with its sails stretched, getting bigger and bigger as it went down.

Emile jumped up and ran across the grass towards the glass mill.The mill was transparent, and Emil saw his mother sitting in it, washing Mrs. Augustine's hair.Emile thought, thank God, he was saved this time, and ran into the mill through the back door. "My dear mother!" he cried, "what is to be done?" "My little darling, what's the matter?" Mom asked, and then went on to wash his hair. "You look out of the wall!" Frau Tischbein looked out just in time to see a herd of horses and the train land on the meadow and run straight for the mill.

"That's Sheriff Naschke," Mom said, shaking her head in wonder. "He's been chasing me like a madman!" "What is it for?" "Recently I painted a red nose and mustache on the face of the crooked Archduke Karl at the Ombre Markt." "Yeah, where else do you want to paint your beard?" Mrs. Augustine finished, and sneezed. "Nowhere, Mrs. Augustine. That's not the worst thing. The sheriff wants to know who else was with him. I can't tell him that. It's a matter of honor." thing." "Emile is right," said mother, "but what shall we do now?"

"My dear Mrs. Tischbein, you turn on the engine," said Mrs. Odzenstein. Emil's mother pushed down a lever next to the table, and the four blades of the windmill began to rotate, because the blades of the windmill were made of glass, and when the sun shone, they shone brightly, making people feel happy. They could hardly open their eyes to look at it.When the twelve horses came running with the train, they were frightened at the sight of the dazzling light, and each of them jumped up their front legs, refusing to take a step forward.Sheriff Jeschke yelled curses that could be heard through the glass walls.But the horses still stood there motionless. "Well, this time you can wash my head in peace," said Mrs. Augustine, "and nothing will happen to your son." So Frau Tischbein, the barber, went back to work.Emile sat down on a chair, also made of glass, and whistled.He laughed loudly and said, "That's a great idea! If only I knew you were here.Then there's no need to climb that damned upstairs at all. " "I hope you haven't torn your clothes!" said Mother.Then he asked, "Have you put your money away?" Hearing these words, Emil's whole body shook violently, and with a snap, he fell off the glass chair. Then, he woke up from the dream.
