chap 1 "Fight"

- When's the book report due?

- There was a great commotion out on the playground. A large group of kids had gathered near the swing set.

- And they were rolling around on the ground, clawing and hitting each other.

- They untangled themselves from each other and stood up.

chap 2 The Old Fire Station

- Marvin blushed.

- Casey got in the back seat and slid over to make room for Marvin.

- It bounced up and down as the car drove over the speed bumps과속방지턱 in the school parking lot.

- I didn't know you lived in a mansion.

- We remodeled.

- It looked pretty much like a normal house, except there was a pole right in the middle of the living room.

- The firemen used to slide down it when there was a fire.

- Marvin put his hand next to his mouth and whispered into the phone.

- To Marvin's surprise, he heard Mr. Happleton recite a phone number.

chap 3 The Magic Crystal

- The room was shaped like an octagon.

- There was a railing around it.

- It was almost transparent, with flecks of green and gold.

- How many scoops?

- She ducked under the railing, grabbed the pole, then disappeared beneath the floor.

- He ducked under the railing, took hold of the pole, and wrapped his legs around it.

chap 4 The Wish

- It had burnt pecans [pikǽn, ] and caramel sauce.

- Marvin held out his right hand, palm up.

- The rock was sandwiched between their two hands.

- Everyone stood for the Pledge of Allegiance.

- It got infected.

- She jumped out of her seat and raised her arms in triumph.

- Perhaps you should make him a get-well card문병카드, and let him know how much you care.

- I don't care if his thumb falls off!
