'Listen,everyone,'I said.'Here's my plan.'From my pocket, I took my small, powerful laser torch.Because it was in a plastic case,the magnet could not attract it.'We'll use this to escape from the cage,' I said.'First,I'll melt the bars and then...'
Peters interrupted me.'I know,Captain.Then you'll use the torch to kill Gork.''Use your brains,' I said.'If we kill Gork,how will we escape?We're too weak to open the door.Here's what we'll do!We'll...'
Moments later,we were all out of the cage.The crew was hiding among the kangaroos,and I was standing on the bed,beside Gork's head.I said loudly, 'Gork,this is Nobody.' Gork woke up.I aimed the torch at his eye and pressed the buttonThe laser beam hit the eye.The eye went out.
Gork roared,'I can't see!My eye!'The noise brought his neighbours running to his door.
'What's wrong,Gork?' they shouted from outside.
Gork shouted back,'It's Nobody.Nobody attacked me.Nobody damaged my eye.'
The neighbours laughed and said,'Nobody attacked him.
Gork's having a bad dream.
Let's go back to bed.Good night, Gork.
By this time,I had joined my crew among the kangaroos.
Gork said,'Nobody,I know you're hiding among my kangaroos.
I'll get you.You're finished,all of you.'
He opened the cave door a little and called his kangaroos to come out.
As they hopped through the narrow opening,one at a time,
he felt their backs with his hands to make sure we were not on them.
'What do we do now?' Peters whispered.
'We can't get out on the kangarros.We're done for.'
'Don't panic,Peters,'I said.
'We can't get out on the kangaroos but we can get out in them.
[Here,get inside this one.'Peters climbed into the giant kangaroo's pocket.
A few moments later,he hopped through the door to freedom.
'That's how we all got free,'said Captain King,
'and back to our ship and,eventually,back to the safety of the earth.'
'What happened to Gork?'asked someone.
'Gork? I don't know.Maybe he's still in his cave-looking for Nobody.'
Everyone laughed except a figure in the captain's garden.
It was moving silently towards the house.
It was a huge figure, and in its face was a single,red,glowing eye.
吃過了晚餐袋鼠湯後,Gork躺在床上馬上睡著了。他打著呼嚕。奸聲震動了洞穴。“大家聽我說,”我說道。“我的計劃是這樣的。”
從口袋裏,我掏出我的小而強大的激光手電筒。因為它是在壹個塑料盒裏,所以磁鐵沒能把它吸走。“我們將用這個逃離這個籠子,”我說道。“首先我會熔化鋼條,然後……,,
Peters打斷我。“我知道了,機長。然後妳就用這個手電筒殺死Gork。”
“動動腦子,”我說。“如果我們殺了Gork,我們怎麽逃出去?我們太弱小了,開不了門。我們要這樣做!我們……”
沒用多久,我們都逃出了籠子。機組成員都藏在袋鼠中間,我站在床上,戈克的頭旁邊。我大聲說,“戈克,我是Nobody,”Gork醒了。我把手電筒對準他的眼睛,按下按粗。激光光束刺向眼睛,他便什麽也看不見了。
Gork大吼,“我看不見了!我的眼睛!”聲音驚動了他的鄰居,都跑到了他的門外。
“Gork,怎麽了?”他們從外面喊道。
Gork回應道,“是Nobody。Nobody襲擊我。Nobody毀壞了我的眼睛。”
鄰居們笑了,說道,“Nobody襲擊他。Gork做噩夢了。我們回去睡覺吧。晚安,Gork。”
到這時,我已經和機組成員都藏到袋鼠中間去了。Gork說:“Nobody,我知道妳們藏在我的袋鼠中間。我會抓到妳們的。妳們都將被殺死。”
他把洞穴的門打開了壹點,讓他的袋鼠都出去。當他們從狹窄的開口跳出去,壹次壹個時,他用手摸他們的後面,以確定我們沒在他們身上。
“現在我們該怎麽辦?”Peters低聲說道,“我們不能在袋鼠身上逃出去。我們完蛋了。”
“別慌,Peters,”我說。“我們不能在袋鼠身上出去但我們進去再逃出去,這兒,到這只裏面去。”Peters爬到巨大的袋鼠口袋裏面。幾分鐘以後,他通過門跳了出去,自由了。
“那就是我們得以自由的方法,”King機長說道。“回到我們的船上,最後安全地返
回地球。”
“Gork發生什麽事了?”有人問。
“Gork?我不知道。或許他仍在他的洞穴裏---尋找Nobody。”
大家都笑了,除了機長花園裏的壹個人影。它悄悄地移向房子。那是個巨大的人影,在它臉上有壹個紅色的會發光的眼睛。
