And return to the tree house before the the moon rises.
Jack finished.
I almost forgot that part. Said Anne.
Me too. Said jack.

Jack and Anne looked up at the open window,the sky was pink ,the sun will be setting soon.
We have to get back to the tree house . Anne whispered , beforethe moon rises.
I know, said jack. But how? Before the moment of panic, the treehouse was really far away, he thought.,We traveled the beauty and cutie whole day, and night to get there.
What about the sand storms? And bandits : ?
Jack looked at Anne, she was smiling.
Magic. She mourned.
Jack caught his breath and nodded.
They closely looked around and gave any of the scholars andscientists watching , where they went. Jack quietly slept the teddyand cathrine’s book out of his bag., he and Anne turned their backto the others and opened the book to the table of contents.
Anne pointed2 it too.
Turn into ducks.
Jack gave her a lookAnne pointed it too life flew through the air.
Yes. Said jack.
Shh... said a scholar.
Jack turned to the right page, he held up book so the book kept see.
Jack set the first line of the realm.
Sails to the sky where you wish to go.
Anne said it in secondSa,,ni..fur,sa.ni. road.
You must be quiet. Or you have to leave the library.
One of the scholar said groutchly.
Don’t worry. We’re going. Said Anne.
A wind blew from the carrbean window, flutter and pages of Arabiannice book the scholars and scientists grab their papers before theyblew away. The wind picked up the corner of small carpet jack andAnne were standing3 on. the carpet reppled. Jack and Anne feltforward. Ad they tried to stand, the carpet lifted off from the floor,Wow. Cried one of the scholars or scientists.
The carpet began flowing up, it’s rose above the long tables, it roseabove the shelves of books, everyone jumped out of their chairsand scrambled4 out the way. Shouting:
Help. Move. Watch the ...impossible,What’s happening?
Bye..called Anne.
The carpet flowed to the tall of the window and flied out of thehouse of wisdom.
Cheer again blew jack and Anne. their head widely, as theycrouching on the carpet, seas, sails to the sky.
This is great. Cried Anne. jack.
Really,\great.
Shouted Anne.
The carpet soared over the house of wisdom, over the caliph’spalace and carriage and over the camel stable, the carpet sweptthe green dorm of the Hassan, it flew over the call yard, with boyswere still playing ball, over the third wall,and pass the green filledthe grand avenue, the carpet flew over the second wall, the houses,the hospitals, and hundreds lanes, it flew over the first wall, rushedbenches to move. The carpet zoomed5 with amazing speed, madehigher and left Baghdad.
Below jack and Anne saw men’s donkey carts, the boy and womenparts. The carpet flew faster and faster, and faster, over the river,the greezing fails, and dunes6 with whistling winds. Over the redglooming desert, hooving a setting sound, and small villages, at themiddle of nowhere.
The magic carpet made a smooth landing unto the palm tree grass.
Here the small spring, and shrubs7, near the date palms. And a ropeladder. The desert looked definitely faraway. Golden red light.
Jack felt gutty.
That, that wasso fast. He said. I can’t believe we have made allour way. Here.
No kidding. Said Anne. the magic may help us staying on.
He and Anne she and jack tried to stand, their titters crounchedagainst each other.
Steady! Said Anne giggling8.. are you ok?
Perfect. Said jack. He put his back over the shoulder and steppedout of the carpet. And then he and Anne watched the tallest datepalm. Jack pulled the rope ladder from hehind the trunk andclimbed up. When they got inside the tree house, jack took outMerlin’s letter.
He glanced out of the window. One last time.
The sun was gone. The carpet looked small and ordinary andshaggy beneath the palm tree. The desert looked vast, silent andlonely. A saint crescent moon had appeared the sky.
We must turn to the tree house before the moon rises . said jack.
That was our last instruction from Merlin. Said Anne.
We’re all done.
Jack looked on Merlin’s letter, he pointed at the words,Jack and Anne are frog creek9.
I wish we could go home. He said.
The windstarted to blow, the tree house started to spin. It spanfaster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still.
The frog creek of chilly10 in the afternoon air, jack and Anne weredressed in their jeans and jackets again, jack’s shoulder backpackswere back,Good trip! Jack said simply.
Anne nodded.
Really cool. She said.
She said.
I guess they we should get home. Said jack. I have homework tofinish.
Leave the research book. And but don’t forget to take teddy andcatherine’s realm book for safe keeping. Said Anne.
Jack reached into his backpack, he pulled out the book of goldenage in the baghdad, and placed it on the tree house floor. And thenhe threw his pack over his shoulders, and climbed down the ladder.
Anne followed .
Together they walked through the early spring woods.
We’ve passed the Merlin’s second test. Said Anne.
We’ve helped spread wisdoms to the world. That’s pretty a big deal.
Be humble11. Jack reminded her.
Well, I guess teddy and catherine’s book did a hard staff worth.
Anne said humbly12.
I missed them. Said jack.
Me too. Said Anne. but I think they maybe bind13 with us in Baghdad.
What do you mean? Said jack.
Remember that servant girl and the boy? They took us to the caliph.
Said Anne. they soared come up nowhere and wenever actuallysaw their faces, did we?
No. said jack.
You think? Anne shored.
Maybe....
Jack smiled and took a deep breath,Maybe..
He said softly.
Two missions and five realms left. Said Anne.
I hope Merlin sends to us again soon, but not too soon.
Said jack. Ineed to do my homework first.
Anne laughed.
Mars with Arabic numbers? She said.
Right! Said jack. And maybe tomorrow we go to the library and seeif they have book of Aristotle’s wisdom.
Good idea. Said Anne.
A cool spring breeze rustledthe trees.
And jack and Anne hurried toward home.
