14.Pass the Ball! 传球!

Chapter 1

Every Friday after school, Tommy went to Grandad?s house for tea.

Take-away fish and chips with extra-hot curry sauce. Brilliant.

Then, after they?d eaten, Grandad would get out his scrap album. He liked to talk about the old days.

…You wouldn?t believe it now, Tom, but I was a champion footballer.

…Did you, Grandad?? Tommy would say. …Tell me what happened.?

Tommy never tired of listening, even thought he?d heard it all before. It was great. Just the two of them.

But on Saturdays, things were different. Tommy got really embarrassed by his grandad then..

He hated the way Grandad would turn up at school football matches wearing his old team kit.

Shirt, socks, boots. Worst of all, those awful, long white short s. Y uk. Tommy hated seeing Grandad?s skinny, purple-veined legs sticking out. They looked horrible.

Chapter 2

…Can?t you make him stop?? Tommy asked his mum. She was folding up his goalie kit for that afternoon?s match..

…Tom, love,? said his mum, …you should be grateful he?s not your dad. When I was your age, Grandad used to meet me and your Auntie Ruth out of school.

…Then he?d make us dibble a football all the way home. A mile and a half of sheer torment. I still get wobbly legs just thinking about it.?

…I wouldn?t mind that,? said Tommy. …It would be great. Can I dribble a football all the way home on Monday??

But his mum wasn?t listening. She was miles away.

…Ooooh,? she shuddered. …And there was this little squirt called Trevor Davies. He u sed to follow us, shouting out rude rhymes.?

…What sort of rude rhymes?? asked Tommy.

…I can?t remember now. It was a long time ago. Something about droopy knickers, I think.?

What was rude about droopy knickers? he wondered.

Then he said, …Our new team coach is called Trevor Davies.?

…Is he thin as a whippet?? asked Mum.

…Yes!? said Tommy. …How did you know? And his nephew Mike Davies is going to be our striker. It?s not fair.?

…Is Mike a good player?? asked his mum.

Tommy was torn for a split-second. But he wanted to be truthful, so he sighed and said, …Yes. He is. He?s brilliant. Mr Davies says that one day soon , he?s going to be spotted by a talent scout. Then one of the big clubs will whisk him away.?

An idea struck him. …If Grandad was playing football now, do you think he?d be famous??

…Maybe,? said Tommy?s mum. …But right now you?ve a match to play. So hero?s your stuff. Don?t forget to put your muddy boots in the plastic bag. Oh, and it?s raining, so I?ll drop you off at school. Grandad will be at the match. He?ll bring you home afterwards. All right??

Blazing bananas, thought Tommy. No it wasn?t. But Grandad loved to see him play.

By the time they got the school, the rain had turned to a fine drizzle.

…Do you think they?ll cancel the game?? asked Tommy?s mum.

…No chance,? said Tommy. …Mr Davies said that even snow wouldn?t stop it. It?s a dead important match. Forest Hill Juniors hammered us last time. Eight-nil. It was terrible.

…We can?t lose this one or we?ll be out of the League Cup.?

…Oh, right. THAT important,? said his mum, ruffling his hair. She was about to give him a kiss, but he managed to embarrassment anyway.

But, oh no! There was Grandad jogging towards them. He had a football under one arm.

…All right our Tom?? he said. …Get changed and we?ll have a warm up.?

…Grandad,?growled Tommy,trying to look fierce..?Everyone?s looking.?

…Take no notice ,? said Grandad. He was touching his toes, wiggling his shouldes, doing side bends.

…After all,?he went on. …Not many lads have a grandad who nealy played for England. And don?t forget that bit of advice I gave you.

…All good goalies watch the striker?s eyes. Where a player?s looking, is where he?s kicking. OK??

Tommy sighed. …Yes,Gandad.? Then he slop ed off to join the rest of the team.

As he got closer, he could see Mike laughing and pointing at him.

…Your grandad hoping to join the team?? sneered Mike.

Tommy scowled.

…You leave my grandad alone. He used to be a brilliant player.?

…Oh, yeah?? snorted Mike. …Who?d he play for then? Tyannosauus Rovers...or was it Diplodocus Hotspurs??

…I suppose you think that?s funny?? hissed Tommy.

…We do lads, don?t we?? said Mike. He turned to Tommy?s team mates. Some of them sniggered.

…Now then. Stop that,?said Mr Davies stepping in quickly to calm things down. But he couldn?t help smiking to himself... …Tyrannosaurus Rovers? Ho,ho,ho. Billiant.?

Tommy glared at Mike and Mr Davies. He flet all hot and and angry. Then he emembered what his mum had sai about Mr Davies. …A little squirt with eyes like fried eggs.?

That made Tommy feel better. Anyway, by then the ref had come onto the pitch.

He called the team captains together. They tossed a coin to see who?s kick off. Forest Hill won. They decide d to kick into the wind.

Tommy took up his position in goal. He joggled on the spot to keep warm.

He tired to catch the eye of Forest Hill?s striker. He was too far away.

Instead he spotted his drabdad standing on the side-lines.

He was talking to a short man wearing a smart raincoat. Tommy didn?t know who he was, but he was smiling and shaking Grandad?s hand.

Then Grandad pointed to Tommy and waved. He waved back.

Tommy was soon too busy with the game to wonder who the stanger was. Forest Hill were on from and playing to win. In the first fifteen minutes, Tommy had to make four saves!

Then it was save number five. Tommy remembered what Grandad had told him : watch the striker?s eyes. See where they?re looking.

Yes! Tommy dived to the right. His feet left the ground. His fingers reached out to catch the ball.

He had it safe, even though he?d cracked in mud.

Thanks, Grandad, he thought. Great advice!

Tommy flet good...but not for long.

He didn?t see what happened, but …Double-Decker? Dolan was su ddenly rolling on the ground. He was cltching his leg.

…Double-Decker? was built like a bus. He was also one of their best players. AND Tommy?s second-best mate.

Mr Davies ran onto the pitich. He seemed to be arguing with the ref.

His voice had gone all high and squeaky. He was jabbing his finger right under the ref?s nose. But it did no good.

Double-Decker was carried off the pitch with a sprained ankle. Tommy?s best mate, …whom? Wlgley ran on to subsitute.

The ref blew his whistle and the match began again.

Mike was playing really well. Tommy had to admit it. His ball control was so good, it made you want to cy.

He wasn?t the only one to notice Mike. The man in the smart raincoat had too. Every time Mike had the ball, he?d write in his notebook.

But then Mike got too confidebt. He was running backwards shoting:…To me. To me.?

He didn?t see Worm Wigley right behind him.

They fell in a tangle of arms and elbows. The ref up to see what was going on.

…I think I?ve broken my arm,? wailed Mike

…It?s all right for you,? moaned Worm thickly. …I think I?ve broken my nose. It?sbleeding.?

…I?ll give you “broken arm and broken nose”,? screeched Mr Davies.

He ran over to where they lay in a heap.

…You need yourheads banging together. You?re a pair of great wet jrllies. You?re uined everything. You see that man over there??

Twenty-two heads turned to where Mr Davies was pointing. But the man in the smart raincoat had turned away. He was shaking his head.

…He?s the scout for the local League Club. I?ve been wanting him to look at Mike for weeks. Now he?s going away.?Chapter3

Mike started crying. Then he tried to stand up. `I can play with a broken arm,` he snivelled. `No problem.?

`Of course you can…t. Suppose you were tackled. You?d end up breaking something else and then what would your mum and dad say? …Mr Davies was looking harassed.

Mike started crying again. `Why do I have to play with such a load of idiots?`

…That?s not fair !`said Tommy.

`You are right there, soon, `said Granda d. He?d come over to see if he could help.

`Just keep your nose out,?said Mr Davies.

`Well, Trevor,? said Grandad. `I see you?re just as rude as ever.`

Mr Davies sniffed and turned to Worm.

`And what about you, Worm...I mean William? Think you can still play? he asked.

But by then, Worm`s mum, Patsy, had run over. She was shouting at Mr Davies.

`Don`t you speak to my William like that! Of course he can`t play. I`m taking him down to the hospital. Come along. William ...and don`t drip blood in the car.`

`Now what? `said Mr Davies, looking over to the side of the pitch.

But there was only Paul Peakle, who never wanted to play. He looked as apiece of wet lettuce.

`Jumping Jehosophat!? Mr Davies looked up at the sky. `Just my luck.`

Then Tommy saw his grandad tap Mr Davies on the shoulder

Oh, no! thought Tommy. What?s he going to say?

`All right ,Trevor? `asked Grandad `What?s the problem?`

`Nothing I can?t handle,?said Mr Davies, trying to look as tall as possible.

`One lad short of a full team are you??asked Granded, with a lightning grip on the situation.

`Well...`Mr Davies began.

`Are you or not ?`

`Yes I am,?said Mr Davies, looking as if someone had just popped his balloon.

`Let me play,? said Grandad.

`You must be joking, `said Mr Davies.

`Let me play, `said Grandad, `and I?ll have a word with the talent scout in the smart raincoat. He?s still a big fan of mine.`

Mr Davies looked amazed. His mouth fell open.

`Right,?said Grandad.…That?s settled. But first we?d better get Mike seen to. Looks like he?s in pain.

Thanks, `whispered Mike.

`You?re right there!?said Grandad,smiling.`Now where do you lads keep the spare kit?`

Chapter4

Tommy could have died. There was Grandad squeezed into the Junior School strip.

His legs looked worse than ever. As for the shirt, it barely reached across his shoulders .

…Now just hold on there,?said the ref,coming across to Grandad and Mr Davies.…He can?t play. He `s a grown-up.?

If only ,thought Tommy.

…I`m past being one of those,?said Grandad.…I?m over the hill and going fast down the other side.I?ll be seventy next month.?

…Oh,go on then…?said the ref. He blew his whistle.

…Let me at?em,?said Grandad.

Tommy couldn?t believe his eyes. His grandad was really good. In fact, he was brilliant.

Ducking and diving, dodging and weaving. His ball control was still masterly. At half-time, the score was one all.

Not bad. But Tommy could see Mr Davies was worried. He was chewing his scarf.

Then Tommy got the ball. He looked around. What should he do ? He saw Grandad down the field.

He kicked the ball straight to Grandad?s feet.

With only a minute to go, Grandad saw his chance. But then he came up against Forest Hill?s sweeper. She towered over him. Terri…Queen of the Foul?Taylor went to tackle. But she didn?t go for the ball.

Instead she caught Grandad behind the knee with her boot.

He was rolling on the floor, holding his knee. It was just outside the penalty area.

…she whipped me legs out from under me, ref.? cried Grandad

…I never!? yelled Terri. But no one believed her.

The ref blew his whistle.

…He?ll never be able to take that,? thought Tommy.

But Grandad leapt to his feet and placed the ball care.

Seven of the Forest Hill team had made a wall in front of their goal. No one could get through that...or could they?

Their goalie was standing on the left. So Grandad kicked the ball with the outside of his foot.

It was a great shot. It swerved over Forest Hill?s defenders. Bang! Straight into the top right-hand corner of the goal.

It was the last kick of the game: 2-1.

Grandad was a hero. The team even tried to carry him off the pitch, but he was too heavy.

They had to make do with slapping his back and shouting, …Come on you Grandad.?

…Well done,? said Mr Davies, pumping Grandad?s arm up and down till his head wobbled. …I never knew you were so good.?

…I?m dead proud, Grandad,? said Tommy. And he was.

…There?s life in the old dog yet,? said Grandad.

…Can we dribble your football all the way home then ?? said Tommy.

…Certainly,? said Grandad and he set off.

…I?ll be here next week,? he said to Mr Davies as he passed. …If you need me.?

7.来自奥姆的蒙面清洁女工 1.城堡有麻烦了。 “我不干了”皇家清洁工宾斯太太说“这里一个人干的活太多了”宾期太太把城堡的钥匙交给诺拉王后,就走了。 诺拉王后告诉了其他的王室成员。“那我们该怎么办?”简公主问道。 “首先,你不能再带朋友到这儿来了,”诺拉王后说 “为什么不能?”简公主问。“因为他们把这里搞得乱七八糟” “也许我们能试着自己让城堡保持整洁”哈利国王说。“我相信琼期上尉和史密斯上尉也会搭把手,我自己也能洗盘子” “什么?”诺拉王后大叫“人们会说,哈利国王要自己洗衣服,绝对不行” “我们可以张贴启事招聘清洁工”简公主说。 “好主意,”诺拉王后说“现在就写招聘启事”简公主写了张启事,并把它钉在城堡的门上。 日子一天天过去,却没有人来询问招聘清洁工的事,城堡变得越来越脏,没有干净的衣服可穿没有干净的盘子可用。 一天早上,诺拉王后听到有歌声从厨房传来,她从门边探出头来,看到了令她吃惊的一幕:哈利国王在水池边上洗盘子。史密斯上尉在拖地,琼斯上尉在洗皇室的衬衫。“马上停下”诺拉王后大叫道“这可不是国王和他的上尉该干的活,他们应该去勇斗恶龙” “我们从来没有见过一只恶龙,亲爱的,”“那是因为你从来没有找过它们”诺拉王后说 诺拉王后十分难过,那一刻她决定来一次皇家旅行。“还有你们三个,别再想着干那些洗洗涮涮的活儿了,”她补充道:“当我离开时,你们要踏上寻找之旅” “寻找?”哈利国王问,他的脸变白了。“寻找恶龙?” “你们也可以去找恶龙”诺拉王后说,“不过主要工作是寻找清洁工” “那我呢?”简公主问。“你可以呆在家里,不要让贼或者你的朋友们进来” 诺拉王后让人去拿了她的皇家箱子和皇家手袋准备开启她的皇家旅行。 哈利国王、史密斯上尉、琼斯上尉动身去寻找清洁工。他们看上去很不高兴。 简公主跟他们每个人挥手再见。 “这不公平”简公主哼了一声,“每个人都走了,去寻找,去旅行。我一个人被困在这个臭哄哄的老城堡里”. 2.简公主噘起了嘴,生了好一会闷气。 当有人敲城堡门的时候,简公主已经不怎么生气了。 简公主找开了门,门前站了三个戴着面具的人,“我们是来自奥姆的戴面具的清洁工”其中一个人说。“我们是你父亲,哈利国王派来的”另一个说。 “这么快”简公主说,“我父亲在哪儿?” “追捕恶龙去了”第三个戴面具的人说。 “你们为什么要戴着面具”简公主问道 “我们得保护自己不吸入灰尘”其中一个人说道“我们可以开始了吗?” 一整天,戴面具的清洁女工们用力地擦洗地板,除尘,洗衣,擦亮餐具,到了傍晚,整个城堡焕然一新。

2.科密特船长与紫色星球 1.斯潘纳无聊了 星尘号空间站,一个宁静的早晨。史黛拉船长正在检查太空穿梭机,科密特船长在给植物浇水,机器人斯潘纳觉得无聊了。 “我能坐到控制台那儿吗?”他问道。 “可以”科密特船长说“但是不要碰任何东西,也不要按那个红色的按钮” 扳手坐在了控制台前,看着上面的各种按钮。有开空间站所有门的按钮,也有开所有灯的按钮。甚至有个按钮控制所有冲刷马桶的。还有一个红色的按钮,上面标注着“重力”。斯潘纳不明白这个“重力”是怎么回事。 “我很快地按一下”斯潘纳说“看看它到底是什么”,它按下了红色按钮。 科密特船长正给植物浇着水,忽然有了奇怪的感觉,他从地板上飘了起来,植物也飘了起来,他猜一定是有什么事发生了。 “斯潘纳”他大叫“我跟你说过,不要按那个红色按钮” 斯潘纳看到了,原来重力就是使物体留在地板上的东西。 由于太空没有重力,于是空间站自己制造了重力。斯潘纳按了下红色按钮使重力恢复,所有的盆栽植物跌回到了地板上。 科密特也跌回地板上,落到植物的旁边。 “斯潘纳”科密特抱怨道 2.那肯定是棵星球 早晨接下来的时间,斯潘纳都在清理刚才制造出的一地狼藉。当他关掉吸尘器,每个人都听到了哔哔的响声,那个哔哔声来自太空扫描仪。 每个人都停下了手里的活过来查看。 “扫描仪发现东西了”科密特说。他指着一个正在扫描仪屏幕上移动的闪烁光点。 “那是什么”史黛拉船长说 “是颗小行星吗?”斯潘纳问道“一颗小行星就是一块在太空飘浮的石头” “我知道”科密特船长说“不过,它太大了,不可能是一颗小行星” “那它肯定是个星球”斯潘纳说。 “它来自哪里呢”科密特说“它为什么移动的这么快”。 “你们最好去看看”史黛拉船长说。 科密特和斯潘纳坐着太空穿梭机出发去寻找那个新星球,斯潘纳非常的兴奋。 “我以前从来没有找到过一个新星球”斯潘纳说“我们叫它什么好呢?” “首先,我们得找到它”斯潘纳…… 但是斯潘纳根本就没在听“我要把它命名为斯潘纳星球”他说。 斯潘纳发出了嗡嗡的声音,从它胸前的卡槽里出来了一面旗子。 “你干什么呢?”科密特问他。 “我做了一面旗子,把它插到斯潘纳星球上,这样人人都知道是我们第一个发现它的”斯潘纳解释道。 他给科密特看它的旗子,红艳艳的旗子上面印着两个斯潘纳。
