"Hello,"I said,although no real sound came out.And then the most astounding thing happened.Mrs.Green turned back to my parents and continuedwith the conversation they'd clearly been having before we came in.It was small talk.Gilbert and I sank to the floor looking at each other with bewilderment while the adultscontinued to have a pleasant conversation about nothing in particular.Twenty minutes later,my heart rate was approaching normal when Mr.Green,on standing and gettingready to leave,suddenly turned the conversation to theft."Have you ever had anyone cut any trees off yourland,Ken?"he asked."Someone took a tree by our barn this week,practically in broad daylight."My mother and father reacted to this news the way someone would react if they found out an axemurderer had moved in next door."In your garden?"Mom said,aghast."Can you believe it.""Brazen,"Dad said."Who in God's name would do that?"Mom asked.I thought I was going to die."They have to know,"Ithought.This was an elaborate torture.The tree was literally under their noses.The entire house reeked of firand guilt.Of course they knew it was us.It dawned on me that I had never,ever been in this much trouble before.I was about to speak when myeyes caught those of my brother.As he reached up to scratch his neck,he ever so subtly made the universalsymbol for "do not say a word,"his index finger crossing his windpipe like a knife.And suddenly the Greens were reaching for their coats."Well,that was nice.Thanks for the tea,"said one of them"Come again,"said Dad."Don't be strangers.""Merry Christmas,"said the Greens directly to my brother and me.And as if they meant it,"Hope Santafinds you.""You too,"I croaked.Was my voice choosing now to change?"Lovely tree,"said Mr.Green."Isn't it,"said his wife.And then they were gone.And Mom and Dad were taking the empty cups to the kitchen.I washyperventilating on the floor,but Gilbert threw himself on the sofa with total confidence.Cool.Collected."Told ya,"he said."They didn't suspect a thing."To this day I have no idea whether they knew it was us who cut down the bloody thing.If they did,whydid they remain silent?Maybe they thought it better to just let the guilt punish us.Or maybe,because of theirdecency,they never considered in a million years that the tree from their land was the one standing in ourhouse with an angel on top.I do know that many times over the years I've considered confessing to them.They still live down thestreet in the same house.In our defence,all I can say is that we never took a tree on anyone else's property ever again.My parentswere legitimately horrified when the truth came out in our house many decades later.They were shocked tolearn they had raised history's greatest monsters and didn't know it.And they couldn't believe we had bothsat there in the room with the Greens while the tree was discussed and we didn't crack."Terrible,"Mom said."Although it was a nice tree."If you are reading this,John and Jane,my abject apologies.I'll drop off a sapling in the spring.宁波九校联考高二英语参考答案第8页共8页
