M.T.H #4 ~Pirates Past Noon~

“No one escapes Cap’n Bones!” he roared. His breath
was terrible. “Let go!” Annie shouted into his face. But Cap’n Bones just
smiled. All his teeth were black. Annie fell silent. Cap’n Bones laughed
loudly.

I wandered what was in the treasure chest. Jack often made blunders, so I got a little irritated. However, his blunders made good adventures so I was satisfied with it. The mystery of “M” was solved. Morgan can use magic. If I were in Frog Creek, I wanted to find Magic tree house too. I hope Jack and Annie can find it after they go back to their home.

M.T.H #3 ~Mummies in the Morning~

The ghost began to speak. She spoke in a hollow, echoing voice. "I am Hutepi," she said. "Queen of the Nile. Is it true that you have come to help me?"

I have three memorial scenes. First of all, a black car perched on a branch and that picture was frightened to me. The cat suggested Jack and Annie's events. Secondly, it was interesting that Jack and Annie describe the hieroglyphs on the pyramid wall. The pictures were seemed to be mere picture for me, but they had means. I thought Jack was smart. Thirdly, the scene was that a boat was sailing over the sand. It may be the mirage, it was mysterious. I want
to see real mirage once.

"Neeee-hhhh!" A horse's whinny. Just then the clouds parted. A
full moon was shining in the sky. A pool of light spread through the mist. Then

Jack looked out the window with her. The Pteranodon was standing at the base of the oak tree. Like a guard. His giant wings were spread out on either side of him.
