[00:01.04] | Chapter 6 Spaceship to the Moon |
[00:06.70] | And so they waited.And waited. Rilla slept in her chair. |
[00:13.19] | Kiah and Seru talked quietly.Seru's brother came and went. |
[00:18.00] | Most of the prison guards ran away with the prisoners. |
[00:25.75] | Seven or eight people—some prisoners and some guards—didn't want to run away, |
[00:34.27] | So they came into the room and waited,too. |
[00:38.06] | Ten o'clock came,then eleven o'clock.It was very quiet. |
[00:45.79] | Seru walked up and down the room.Kiah sat next to Rilla. |
[00:53.26] | Seru's brother came into the room again. |
[00:57.47] | ‘It's after midnight,’he said. |
[01:01.51] | Just then, they heard the noise of a plane.Kiah stood up. |
[01:08.82] | ‘Come on,’he said.‘Let's get out of the building.’ |
[01:14.83] | Quietly,they left the building.It was a dark,hot night. |
[01:23.04] | There were no guards in front of the prison, |
[01:25.82] | so they went to the gate and waited there. |
[01:29.14] | Suddenly,they saw the plane.It was a little plane, |
[01:35.85] | And it was going to come down on the road in front of the prison! |
[01:39.94] | Rilla took Kiah's hand.‘You were right,’she said.‘I'm sorry.’ |
[01:49.26] | Kiah smiled.He began to feel happy. |
[01:55.94] | ‘That's all right.I under stand.I know Adai very well,and you don't.’ |
[02:01.85] | The plane stopped and someone opened the door. |
[02:07.45] | Kiah ran across to the plane. |
[02:11.59] | ‘How many can you take?’he called.‘There are twelve of us.’ |
[02:17.74] | ‘That's all right,’someone said.‘Quickly,the spaceship is waiting.’ |
[02:23.19] | The twelve people got into the little plane,and the plane be-gan to move. |
[02:28.94] | Rilla looked at the captain of the plane.He was tall,with brown hair. |
[02:35.93] | He looked nice.Was this the famous Commander Adai? |
[02:42.31] | ‘Where is the spaceship?’Kiah asked. |
[02:47.03] | ‘At the old airport,’the man said. |
[02:51.20] | ‘One of the fires is moving very quickly across the new forest. |
[02:55.44] | It's going to arrive at the west of Kisangani before tomorrow,I think. |
[03:02.09] | But the old airport is OK.’ |
[03:05.74] | then the man looked at Kiah and smiled warmly. |
[03:11.59] | ‘My brother’,he said.‘My little brother,in prison 888!’ |
[03:19.37] | ‘Your brother?Commander Adai?’Rilla asked. |
[03:26.29] | ‘But you didn't tell me that!’ |
[03:29.81] | Kiah smiled.‘Nobody knew,’he said. |
[03:34.75] | ‘But now—it doesn't matter now.Everyone can know.’ |
[03:40.88] | The little plane came down at the old airport,south of the town. |
[03:49.13] | ‘Let's be careful,’Adai said. |
[03:52.17] | ‘We don't want someone to shoot us before we leave.’ |
[03:55.92] | The spaceship was dark. |
[03:58.90] | Quickly, everyone jumped down from the plane and ran across to the spaceship. |
[04:05.42] | Soon,the spaceship left Earth, |
[04:10.38] | And everyone looked down at the burning planet. |
[04:14.59] | They saw the dark smoke over Africa,and here and there, |
[04:22.36] | through the smoke,the red,angry fires. |
[04:27.85] | ‘The fires are destroying the forest very quickly,’seru said. |
[04:33.37] | Adai put his hand on Kiah's arm.‘I'm sorry about Zadak,’he said. |
[04:42.24] | ‘I wanted him to wait,’Kiah said.‘I wanted him to talk to you.’ |
[04:49.67] | Adai's face was sad.‘He didn't want me to die,’ |
[04:57.01] | he said quietly.‘He was a good man.And now he's dead.’ |
[05:05.74] | ‘And Gog is going to Mars,’seru said. |
[05:10.55] | ‘Mars?He's crazy!Mars isn't ready for people,’Adai said. |
[05:19.74] | ‘But Gog wants to go,and so he's going,’seru said. |
[05:27.42] | ‘Tell us about the Moon colony.That isn't ready:you need more money.’ |
[05:33.71] | ‘No,I don't,’Adai said.‘The Moon colony is ready. |
[05:39.79] | I asked for more money because of Zadak: |
[05:44.13] | I wanted to give him money for rain.But Gog didn't listen; |
[05:49.66] | He wanted all Earth's money for the spaceship to Mars.’ |
[05:54.50] | ‘I don't want to leave Earth,’Rilla said sadly.She felt tired and afraid. |
[06:03.65] | Adai smiled warmly at Rilla.‘Nobody wants to leave Earth,’he said. |
[06:12.74] | ‘But under the Moon is the best home for us now. |
[06:16.77] | Wait and see.The Moon colony is a beautiful,wonderful country, |
[06:24.21] | with rivers and rain,forests and flowers,buildings—and the first town. |
[06:33.19] | You can visit Earth again soon,and bring more people to the Moon colony. |
[06:40.34] | We all want to help Earth,because it's our first home. |
[06:45.90] | I know that.At the same time,you are going to be happy under the Moon.’ |
[06:54.83] | Suddenly,someone cried:‘Look at the Moon!’ |
[07:01.58] | And through the window of the spaceship they saw the Moon before them, |
[07:08.79] | cold,white and beautiful; |
[07:13.77] | and under the Moon,there was the Moon colony! |
[00:01.04] | Chapter 6 Spaceship to the Moon |
[00:06.70] | And so they waited And waited. Rilla slept in her chair |
