他的小眼睛闪闪发光，折断了细长的手指。

“你想怎么死？”他问道。

2 "We want to die of old age," said Hong."Grrr! That is the right answer," said the Goblin King."So I must let you go."He opened the door of the cage.“我们想老死，”洪说。

“啊啊！这是正确的答案，”妖精王说。

“所以我必须让你走。

3 "Brilliant!" said Chip."But how did you know the right answer?""I don't know," said Hong."I just did.""Let’s find the next riddle," said Ty.“太棒了！”Chip说。

“但是你怎么知道正确的答案？”“我不知道，”洪说。

“我刚刚做了。

”“让我们找到下一个谜语，”泰说。

4 "The goblins still have the magic key," said Biff."We must get it back."Give us back our key," said Chip."No," said a goblin."We won"t.""Give it back!" shouted Chip."Make us!" called the Goblins.Hong had an idea. He spoke to the Goblin King.“妖精们仍然有魔法钥匙，”Biff说。

“我们必须把它拿回来。

”把钥匙还给我们，”Chip说。

“不，”一个妖精说。

“我们不会。

”“还给我！”Chip喊道。

“让我们！”妖精大喊。

洪有个主意。

他和地精国王谈过了。

5 "We will ask you a riddle," Hong said."You must give us back the key if you can"t answer it.""All right," said the Goblin King."What is the riddle?"“我们会问你一个谜语，”洪说。

“如果你不能回答，你必须把钥匙还给我们。

"“好吧，”妖精王说。

“谜语是什么？”6 Hong wrote in the sand,1+1=6."Make this work by drawing a straight line," he said.The goblins scratched their heads. At last they said."We can"t do it""洪在沙地上写道，1+1=6。

“画一条直线来完成这项工作，”他说。

妖精挠了挠头。

“我们不会做”7 Hong put a line on the"plus"."One, and one, and four add up to six!" said Hong."Very clever,"said the Goblin King and he gave Biff the key.洪在“加号”上加了一行。

"一，一，四加起来等于六！"洪说。

The kites dived at the children."What is the answer to this riddle?" shouted the kite flier."I can be cracked, I can be played, I can be told, I can be made. What am I?""I know this one," said Hong."The answer is a joke."“哎哟！那个打了我，”泰说。

飞行的形状是风筝。

风筝向孩子们扑去。

"这个谜语的答案是什么？"放风筝的人喊道。

“我可以被破解，我可以被扮演，我可以被告知，我可以被创造。

我是什么？”“我知道这个，”洪说。

"答案是一个笑话。

"10 The kite fier let them pass, but nextthey came to a wide river."We can never cross this," said Chip."It’s too deep and dangerous."Then they saw an old man on a raft."I will take you across," said the old man."But first answer this riddle. I have seven children. Half of them are boys. How can this be?"风筝放飞者让他们通过，但接着他们来到了一条宽阔的河边。

“我们永远无法跨越这个难关，”Chip说。

“太深太危险了。

”然后他们看见一个老人在木筏上。

“我带你过去，”老人说。

“但首先回答这个谜语。

我有七个孩子。

其中一半是男孩。

这怎么可能？”11 "I know the answer," said Hong."All your children are boys.""That is right," said the old man."I will take you across the river.""“我知道答案，”洪说。

"你所有的孩子都是男孩。

"“没错，”老人说。

“我会带你过河。

”"12 "How do you know the answer to all the riddles," Ty asked Hong."I don't know," said Hong."The answers just come to me."“你怎么知道所有谜题的答案，”泰问洪。

“我不知道，”洪说。

“答案就在我眼前。

”13 The children came to a dark, gloomy forest. The trees were bent and twisted."What a scary place," said Biff."I can see eyes looking at us."Suddenly, wolves sprang out of the trees. They had red eyes and long,sharp, white teeth. "They"re after us," yelled Chip."Run!"孩子们来到一片黑暗阴沉的森林。

树木弯曲扭曲。

“多么可怕的地方，”Biff说。

“我能看见眼睛在看着我们。

”突然，狼从树上跳了出来。

他们有红色的眼睛和又长又尖的白牙。

“他们在追我们，”Chip喊道快跑。

"14 The children ran fast, but the wolves were faster."Quick!" yelled Biff. "Climb a tree."The children climbed quickly, but Hong was a bit slow. A wolf sprang up at him.孩子们跑得很快，但是狼跑得更快。

“快！”Biff喊道。

“爬树。

”孩子们爬得很快，但是洪有点慢。

一只狼向他扑了过来。

15 The wolf snapped at Hong. It sank its teeth into his bag and pulled it off his back."Help!" yelled Hong.狼咬住了洪。

它把牙齿放进他的包里，把它从他背上拽下来。

“救命！”洪喊道。

16 Then a strange woman came out of the trees. The wolves ran up to her. The Wolf Woman told the wolves to sit. She told the children to climb down.然后一个陌生的女人从树上走了出来。
