Martin was grown-up, and for his birthday that year
his father gave him a 36 without any pictures in
it!
Martin’s father found he was not 37 about
it, and told him, “Son, this isn’t just any 38 book;
it’s a magic (有魔力的) book. But to discover its magic you’ll
have to 39 it.”
Well, that was better. Martin liked 40 to
do with magic. He started reading it, 41 he wasn’t very
willing to.
The next morning, his 42 asked
him, “Have you found the magic 43 ? ”
So… there was a key to find! Martin flicked through (快速翻阅) the book, but there was no 44 of
the key.
And then his father 45 him,
“You won’t find it like that . You have to read the book.”
Martin didn’t have much patience (耐心), thinking his father just told a 46 .
A little later, his little sister, Angela, asked him 47 the
book. After several days, she 48 shouted, “I’ve
found the key!” And she wouldn’t stop 49 all the
places she had visited using the magic key.
This made Martin read the book again. At first it was
a 50 ; there wasn’t even one single 51 in
the book. But, gradually, Martin became 52 the
adventurous (冒险的) prince’s life. Then, suddenly, he was
there.
The book 53 was the
key!
It was true that every time he 54 it,
he felt going to its valleys and seas, and he lived the adventures of the
prince.
From then on, with every new book, Martin never 55 being
attracted by the letters and words inside.
