The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim's mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He' d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring of the freezer had been the sea.
下午5点，房间里很安静，蒂姆的妈妈在睡觉。偶尔冰箱发出的声音会打破宁静。他想着昨晚的洞穴。冰箱的蜂鸣声让他感到自己就在海上。

Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He'd eat after he' d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea.
蒂姆穿上毛衣，将几个苹果放到书包里。还不到吃早饭的时候。他会穿过洞穴，坐在岩石上，看着大海吃苹果。

He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she' d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table:
他希望有一个合适的背包。只能用书包充当下。还有别的东西要放吗？三明治，但是如果他取出面包做三明治，妈妈也许就会知道。她会想这么早他就离家的原因。于是他装了些饼干，在桌子上留了个条：

Gone to Michael's Back tonight, Tim.
今晚去米Michael's Back，蒂姆。
