eappear on the Giant's table, to play again. On the second death, he'd come back to the landslides. Then to thegarden bridge. Then to the mousehole. And then, if he still went back to the Giant and played again, and diedagain, his desk would go dark, "Free Play Over" would march around the desk and Ender would lie back on hisbed and tremble until he could finally go to sleep. The game was rigged but still the Giant talked aboutFairyland, some stupid childish three-year-old's Fairyland that probably had some stupid Mother Goose or Pac-Man or Peter Pan, it wasn't even worth getting to, but he had to find some way of beating the Giant to get there.He drank the creamy liquid. Immediately he began to inflate and rise like a balloon. The Giant laughed. He wasdead again.He played again, and this time the liquid set, like concrete, and held his head down while the Giant cut himopen along the spine, deboned him like a fish, and began to eat while his arms and legs quivered.He reappeared at the landslides and decided not to go on. He even let the landslides cover him once. But eventhough he was sweating and he felt cold, with his next life he went back up the hills till then turned into bread,and stood on the Giant's table as the shot glasses were set before him.He stared at the two liquids. The one foaming, the other with waves in it like the sea. He tried to guess whatkind of death each one held. Probably a fish will come out of the ocean one and eat me. The foamy one willprobably asphyxiate me. I hate this game. It isn't fair. It's stupid. It's rotten.And instead of pushing his face into one of the liquids, he kicked one over, then the other, and dodged theGiant's huge hands as the Giant shouted, "Cheater, cheater!" He jumped at the Giant's face, clambered up his lipand nose, and began to dig in the Giant's eye. The stuff came away like cottage cheese, and as the Giantscreamed, Ender's figure burrowed into the eye, climbed right in, burrowed in and in.The Giant fell over backward, the view shifted as he fell, and when the Giant came to rest on the ground, therewere intricate, lacy trees all around. A bat flew up and landed on the dead Giant's nose. Ender brought his figureup out of the Giant's eye."How did you get here?" the bat asked. "Nobody ever comes here."第 71 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
