Chapter Two: A Surprise Visit

At 7 p.m., the door of tavern opens.

Sergeant Gonzales and the other soldiers are standing near the fire.

They are talking about Don Diego Vega and his rich family.

They turn around and see a man.

He is dressed in black.

He has a black mask and a black sombrero.

It is Zorro!

"Good evening! My name is Zorro!" says the masked man.

The men in the tavern are very surprised and scared.

Sergeant Gonzales looks at him carefully and says, "What do you want, bandit?"

Zorro laughs loudly.

He looks at Sergeant Gonzales and says," I am here to punish you,Sergeant!"

"What do you mean?" says the Sergeant. "You beat the poor natives. I am a friend of the natives. I am here to punish you."

"You idiot! The governor wants you dead or alive!" says Sergeant Gonzales.

He pulls out his sword and wants to fight.

At that moment, Zorro pulls out a pistol.

He watches everyone carefully.

Sergeant Gonzales looks at the pistol and says, "Courageous men don't use pistols.They use swords. Perhaps you are not courageous, Zorro?"

"This pistol is necessary because you have many friends in this tavern. Everyone must go near the fire and stay there!" says Zorro. "Now I have a pistol in my left hand and a sword in my right hand. I am ready to punish you."

"Fight,senor!" says the Sergeant.

They start fighting.

Their swords move quickly and make a lot of noise.

The two men are good fighters.

Zorro is fast and light.

Sergeant Gonzales is slow and heavy.

Zorro jumps onto a table.

Then he jumps onto a chair.

The fight continues and Sergeant Gonzales' sword falls onto the floor.

His face is white. He is scared.

Zorro slaps his face and says, "This is your punishment."

Then he makes a Z on the Sergeant's shirt with his sword.

Zorro runs to the window.

He opens it and says, "Good evening, gentlemen!"

He jumps out of the window and disappears.

第二章：突然来访

晚上7点，酒馆的门打开了。
冈萨雷斯中士和其他士兵站在火堆附近。
他们在谈论唐·迭戈·维加和他富有的家庭。
他们转过身来，看到一个男人。
他穿着黑色的衣服。
他戴着黑色面具和黑色宽边帽。
是佐罗！
“晚上好!我的名字是佐罗！”蒙面人说。
酒馆里的人既惊讶又害怕。
冈萨雷斯警官仔细地看着他说：“你想要什么，强盗？”
佐罗大笑起来。
他看着冈萨雷斯中士说：“我是来惩罚你的，中士！”
“你是什么意思？”警官说。“你打败了可怜的当地人。我是当地人的朋友。我是来惩罚你的。”
“你这个白痴!州长要你死也好，活也好！”冈萨雷斯警官说。
他拔出他的剑，想要战斗。
在那一刻，佐罗掏出手枪。
他仔细地观察着每个人。
冈萨雷斯中士看着手枪说：“勇敢的人不用手枪。他们用剑。也许你不够勇敢，佐罗？”
“这把手枪是必需的，因为你在这个酒馆里有很多朋友。每个人都必须靠近火，呆在那里！”佐罗说。“现在我左手拿着一把手枪，右手拿着一把剑。我已经准备好惩罚你了。”
“战斗吧，先生！”中士说。
他们开始争吵。
他们的剑移动得很快，发出很大的声音。
这两个人都是优秀的战士。
佐罗又快又轻。
冈萨雷斯中士行动迟缓，身体笨重。
佐罗跳到桌子上。
然后他跳到椅子上。
战斗继续，冈萨雷斯中士的剑掉在地上。
他脸色苍白。他很害怕。
佐罗打了他一巴掌，说：“这是对你的惩罚。”
然后他用剑在中士的衬衫上划了个Z。
佐罗跑到窗前。
他打开门说：“晚上好，先生们！”
他跳出窗户消失了。
