Mountian Rescue, Lesson 12 of Book 4a 典范英语 - 浙北英语网

Biff was showing Wilma her new music box. “It’s like a little house,” said Wilma. Biff opened the box and the music began to play. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The magic took Biff and Wilma to a mountain railway station. “The station looks just like my music box,” said Biff. There’s a big wooden horn at the station. A boy called Max told them that it was used to send for the MountainRescue helicopter. “My Uncle Hans flies the helicopter,” he said. “He’s taking me to see an eagle’s nest today. You can come with us.” The children got into a train. It took them higher up the mountain. Uncle Hans was waiting at the station. “Hi, Max,” said Uncle Hans. “I’m glad some of your friends will comewith you.” Uncle Hans and the children went up a steep chrack. They saw some people climbing a steep rock. “That looks scary,” said Biff. Just then, Uncle Hans’s phone ran. “I have to go back but you can see the eagle’s nest from here,” he said. The eagle was sitting on her nest. Suddenly, she squawke andflew into the sky. “A man has climbed up to the nest!” said Biff. “He’s putting the eagle’s egg into his bag.” “Put that egg back!” shouted Wilma. The manlooked up. He saw the children watchen him and started to run. “His going to the station,” said Max. “Quick! Let’s follow him and get the egg back.” They slipped and scrambled down the steep path. At last, they reached the station. Wilma ran up to the man. “We saw you take an egg from the eagle’s nest,” she said. The man was angry. “I didn’t take an egg!” he said and he opened his bag. There was no egg inside. Suddenly, there was a shout. “One of the climbers has fallen!” said Maks. “We must call the Mountain Rescue team.” Wilma ran to blowthe horn. But the man tried to stop her. “Give me that horn!” he shouted but Wilma pulled it away from him. Wilma looked in the horn. “He's hidden the egg in here!” she said. The man started to run but Biff tripped him up... CRASH! Max took the egg and wrapped it in his jaket to keep it warm. Then Wilma blew the horn. BOOM!...BOOM!...BOOM! The Mountain Rescue helicopter flew into the sky. Everyone cheered as the climber was lifted to safety. The helicopter landed and Maks showed Uncle Hans the eagle's egg. Uncle Hans climbed up to the nest and put the egg back. The eagle saw the egg and flew back to her nest. Three big feathers floted gently down to the children. "The eagle is saying thank you," said Biff as the magic key glowed. "Look, there's a wooden horn on your music box now," said Wilma. "How did it get there?" "It must be magic," smiled Biff.
