《小妇人》第9期_第2章 快乐的圣诞节(4)

　　It was an exciting story about Hugo（acted by Jo wearing a black beard！）， beautiful Zara and brave Roderigo．There were also two ghosts，a cruel king，and a tall castle made of paper and wool-which unfortunately fell down just as Roderigo and Zara were escaping from it．There were screams of laughter from everyone， but the actors picked themselves up and carried on through more dangers and mysteries until the happy ending was reached．
　　All the visitors loved the play，and after the excitement and fun came a surprise for everyone．
　　'would the young ladles like to stay for supper？'asked Hannah．
　　And when the girls saw the supper table，they could not believe their eyes！There was ice-cream， cake，fruit，and French chocolate！ And in the middle of the table were flowers for each of the four actors．
　　'Where did it all come from？'asked Amy．
　　'From Father Christmas， perhaps？'said Beth．

那是一个关于雨果、美丽的赞拉和勇敢的罗德里歌的激动人心的故事（雨果由琼扮演，她戴着一撮黑胡子！）。还有两个鬼魂、一个残暴的国王以及一个由纸和木头做成的城堡。不幸的是，当罗德里歌和赞拉从城堡中出逃时，城堡塌了下来。所有观众都尖声大笑，可演员们将城堡扶起，又历经许多的风险和神秘，最终获得了幸福的结局。
　　每个来访者都十分喜欢那出剧。这件令人激动、妙趣横生的事件过后，发生了一件令每个人都吃惊的事。
　　“你们这些年轻小姐都留下来吃晚饭好吗？”海娜问道。
　　当女孩子们看见餐桌的时候，她们简直不敢相信自己的眼睛！冰淇淋、蛋糕、水果和法国巧克力！在桌子正中还摆着给四位演员每人一束鲜花！
　　“哪来的？”艾米问。
　　“可能是圣诞老人送来的，”白丝说。
