Finn McCool was an Irish giant Hwas big and strong and he had won many battles But Finn was tired of fighting One day Finn met Oonagh a clever ginatess Finn and Oonagh liked each other so they decided to live togetherin a quiet cave by the sea Finn liked to sit and look out over the water He could just make out Scotland far away in the distance There s no place like home said Finn contentedly Smack A heavy rock landed near Finn Who threw that roared Finn jumping up I did came a loud voice The mighty Benandonner of Scotland I ve heard that the Irish giant Finn McCool is now old and feeble You call yourself a fighter I could whip you with one hand behind my back yelled Benandonner Come over here and say that yelled Finn angrily I m the strongest giant in this land It s only the water that s stopping me from coming to fight you Finn McCool Benandonner shouted back Afraid of water are you yelled Finn Afraid No shouted Benandonner I just don t know how to swim I ll make a causeway yelled Finn Then you ll have to come over and fight giant to giant Finn began to pull great slabs of rock off the cliff He threw them into the water to make a path The slabs were heavy and it was a long way from Ireland to Scotland It took Finn a week to finish the causeway He threw down the last slabs late one night and then walked back over the causeway to his cave I m tired I m going to bed now I need to get some strength before I face Benandonner Finn told Oonagh In the morning Oonagh woke early She went outside because someone was making a lot of noise Benandonner was walking over the causeway shouting I m coming to get you Finn Oonagh could see that Benandonner was much bigger than Finn She rushed in to warn Finn but he was still asleep Oonagh knew that Finn was so tired he might lose the fight Suddenly Oonagh had a plan She woke Finn and made him put on her biggest dress Rippng open a pillowcase she tied it around Finn head She made Finn lie down and pretend he was asleep and then she put their biggest blanket over him Finally she sat down and waited Soon Benandonner came storming into their cave shouting Where s that feeble Finn I m ready to fight him Jumping to her feet Oonagh whispered angrily to Benandonner Be quiet Finn s not here and I don t want the baby woken Take your noise outside Benandonner looked over at the blanket in the corner He walked towards it Benandonner looked down at the baby He couldn t believe it The baby was huge If the baby is this size what size is its father he thought He reached down to pat the baby s head Finn bit Benandonner s head as hard as he could Argh cried Benandonner Now you re woken the baby shouted Oonagh rushing over Wait until I tell his father that you re over here making trouble He ll be after you Suddenly Benandonner was nervos If Finn s baby is this big and strong how big and strong is Finn he said to himself He turned and ran back over the causeway pulling up the rocks to stop Finn from coming after him Finn and Oonagh started laughing as they watched Benandonner running back across the causeway Picking up some mud Finn threw it with all his might The mud missed Benandonner but it landed with a splash close by After that Benandonner never gave Finn any more trouble He lived quietly in his cave in Scotland while Finn lived in his cave in Ireland The mud that Finn threw at Benandonner was named the Isle of Man Finn McCool 是一个爱尔兰巨人 他高大强壮 赢得了很多战役 但是 Finn 厌倦了打仗 有一天 Finn 遇见了一个聪明 的金匠乌娜 芬恩和欧纳喜欢 彼此 所以他们决定住在海边 一个安静的山洞里 芬恩喜欢 坐在那里眺望水面 他可以在 遥远的远方看到苏格兰 没有 地方像家一样 Finn 心满意足 地说 薄片 一块沉重的岩石降落在 芬恩附近 谁扔的 芬恩咆 哮着 跳了起来 我做到了 一个响亮的声音 苏格兰的 伟大的 Benandonner 我听 说爱尔兰巨人 Finn McCool 现 在又老又弱 你自称是战士吗 我可以用一只手在背后鞭打你 Benandonner 喊道 过来说 吧 芬恩气愤地喊道 我是这 片土地上最强大的巨人 只有水阻止我来和你战斗 Finn McCool Benandonner 喊 道 怕水 是吗 芬恩喊 道 害怕 不 Benandonner 喊道 我只是 不知道怎么游泳 我要做一 条堤道 芬恩喊道 然后你 必须过来和巨人搏斗 巨人 芬恩开始从悬崖上拉起巨大的 石板 他把它们扔进水里 形 成一条小路 砖块很重 从爱 尔兰到苏格兰还有很长的路要 走 芬恩花了一个星期的时间 完成了堤道 一天晚上 他把 最后一块板子扔掉了 然后又 走到铜锣路上 我累了 我要 睡觉了 在我面对 Benandonner 之前 我需要有点力气 Finn 告诉乌娜 早上 奥纳醒得很早 因为有 人吵吵闹闹 她就出去了 Benandonner 走在堤道上 喊道 我来接你 Finn 奥纳看到 Benandonner 比芬恩大得多 她 冲进去警告芬恩 但他还是睡 着了 乌娜知道 Finn 太累了 他可能会输掉这场战斗 突然 奥纳有了一个计划 她 叫醒芬恩 让他穿上她最大的 衣服 打开一个枕套 她把它 绑在芬恩的头上 她让芬恩躺 下假装他睡着了 然后她把最 大的毯子放在他身上 最后 她坐下来等着 很快 Benandonner 冲进他们的 洞穴 喊道 那个虚弱的芬 恩在哪里 我准备和他战斗 跳起身来 奥纳生气地低声 对 Benandonner 说 安静 芬恩不在这里 我不想让孩子 醒过来 把你的声音带到外面 去 Benandonner 看了看角落里 的毯子 向它走去 Benandonner 俯视着婴儿 他简 直不敢相信 婴儿是巨大的 如果婴儿这么大 他的父亲是 多大的 他想 他伸手去拍婴 儿的头 芬恩尽可能地咬了 Benandonner 的头 啊 Benandonner 喊道 现在你 把孩子吵醒了 欧诺大声喊 道 等我告诉他父亲你在这里 惹麻烦 他会追上你的 突然间 Benandonner 变成了 Nevs 如果 Finn 的孩子这么 大又强壮 芬恩有多大强壮呢 他自言自语 他转过身 跑过 堤道 拉起岩石来阻止芬恩跟 着他 芬恩和欧纳笑着看着

Holly had seen a side of him she didn t like Jake had decided that Holly was weak When Holly tried to tell him she wasn t weak he wouldn t listen Don t get upset Holly Jake would say It s a simple fact Just get used to it Well Holly would show Jake he was wrong today Neither of them had surfed before and Holly wanted to be the first one to ride a wave But things didn t work out that way Soon after Jake entered the water he was up on his borad surfing while Holly couldn t even stand up on hers Give up Holly Jake yelled as he paddled out to catch another wave You re not strong enough to stand up and ride Holly frowned and tried again But it was no good Holly decided to rest for a moment She turned to watch her brother come riding in on the next wave But the wave passed and Jake was nowhere to be seen Jake had fallen off his borad before the wave reached Holly But that wasn t the worst thing In the part of the bay two powerful currents crossed each other They made deep holes in the sand Jake was pulled into one of these holes when he fell off his board Down down Jake was pulled as the sea roared around him Suddenly it was dark and Jake realized how deep the water was He struck out with his arms fighting the pull of the current Because it was dark he wasn t sure where the surface was At last Jake felt himself rising But there was another problem he wanted to take a breath No he told himself and he tried not to think about it It was a long time before Jake saw light coming down through the water He couldn t hold his breath any longer His mouth opened and the water rushed inside Holly knew something was wrong when Jake s board came tumbling past her Dad Help she cried waving towards the beach Her father didn t hear her or see her waving There was only one thing Holly could do She took a deep breath and dived beneath the surface searching for Jake She dived again and again but she couldn t see him anywhere Holly almost gave up But when she came up after her third dive she spotted Jake floating face down on the surface Help she cried waving towards the beach again She swam over to her brother When she reached Jake she turned him face up Then she began swimming towards the shore carrying him against her hip It was hard work and Holly became tired Her arms and legs hurt but she refused to give up Suddenly Holly s legs cramped and she knew she couldn t carry Jake any further No o o she cried Then two strong arms took Jake from her Dad had seen Holly waving He swam in to shore with Jake Holly rested for a while then she slowly swam in too As she came out of the water Holly heard Jake cough Is he all right he called to her father I think so Dad said but I m calling for an ambulance Later at the hospital Holly sat close to Jake You really scared me she told him Thank goodness Dad came to help She blinked back her tears I couldn t carry you any further I just wasn t strong enough Not strong enough Jake asked You carried me most of the way in Suddenly his voice became soft I m sorry I ever said you were weak Holly If it wasn t for your strength I wouldn t be here at all Holly put her arm around him Well Jake she said I m glad you are 霍莉坐在汽车的后座上 她想着她的哥哥杰克 因为爸爸把这个家庭赶到维纳斯湾 杰克曾经很 容易相处 但是最近 霍莉看到了他的一面 她 没有不喜欢 Jake 已经决定 Holly 很弱 当 Holly 试图告诉他她并不软弱时 他不会听 别生气 霍莉 杰克会说 这是一个简单的事实 只要 习惯它 好吧 霍利今天会向杰克表明他今天错了 他们 两人之前都没有冲过来 霍利
