Later, her little brother came in too. Amanda, can you read me a book? he asked. I love it when you read for me. Especially this story about pirates.

I dont feel like it right now. Maybe another day, Amanda said.

Hours turned into days, and Amanda still didnt do any of these things. When her dads birthday came and she still hadnt made a card, she thought, No big deal, Ill just make a card next year.
Amanda chng bao gi dnh thi gian lm vic. C b lun bn thm ch cn khng c thi gian chi mn c vua m c b yu thch nht na.
Amanda could never find time to do things. She was always too busy even to play chess the thing she loved most.

It would have continued on like this for a very long time, but one day, something strange happened...

The alarm clock rang at seven oclock as usual.
Amanda m mt v nhn ra ngoi ca s, nhng mi vt u ti en. C b ngh, chc l ng h b hng ri, v nm ng tip.
Amanda opened her eyes and looked out the window, but it was completely dark. The clock must be broken , she thought, and went back to sleep.
Khong mt ting sau c b thc dy, nhng ngoi tri vn ti en. C g khng n, nhng c khng bit l g.
She woke up again about an hour later, but it was still night outside. Something felt wrong, but she didnt know what it was.
A manda ra khi ging v cm thy mnh ng lu hn hn mi khi.
Amanda rolled out of bed, feeling like she had been asleep for much longer than usual.
C b i sang phng b m nhng cn phng trng khng. C b chy sang phng em gi nhng cng khng c ai. C b li kim tra phng em trai, phng bp, phng khch, v phng tm nhng chng c ai nh c.
She walked over to her parents room and found it empty. She ran to her sisters room, but there was no one there either. She checked her brothers room, the kitchen, the living room, and the bathroom, but there wasnt another soul in the house.
Amanda chy vi v phng mnh v nhn ra bu tri m bn ngoi ca s.
Amanda raced back to her room and looked out the window at the night sky.
Gia nh ca mnh u ri? c b ngh v rng rng nc mt.
Wheres my family? she thought, tears forming in her eyes.

Suddenly, she heard a strange voice. I know what happened to you, it said.
Amanda git mnh v nhn xung quanh, nhng chng thy g ht. G c? Bn l ai? c b hi.
Amanda jumped and looked around, but couldnt see anything. What? Who are you? she asked.
H y nhn ln bu tri i. T y ny. ging ni vang ln.
Look up to the sky. Im here, the voice said.
Amanda nhn ln bu tri t ca s v nhn thy mt mt trng ang mm ci vi mnh. C b hoang mang ngh, liu c phi mt trng ang ni chuyn vi mnh?
Amanda looked at the sky from her window and saw the moon smiling at her. Is that the moon talking? she thought, confused.
Amanda hi Chuyn g xy ra vi t vy?
What happened to me? asked Amanda.
Gi y bn ang th gii ch c bng m, mt trng tr li. Bn b ti y bi v bn khng s dng ng cch thi gian ca mnh v nh mt thi gian.
You are now in a world where there is only darkness, the moon replied. You got here because you werent using your time wisely and you lost it.
Amanda th thm T khng hiu.
I dont understand, whispered Amanda.
Thi gian b nh mt c gi trong nhng chic l thy tinh v treo trn Cy Thi Gian, mt trng gii thch. Cy y mc khu rng ma thut, ni mt tri lun lun chiu sng. C rt nhiu l vi kch c khc nhau trn cy, v c ngi nh mt rt nhiu thi gian, c ngi th ch mt mt cht m thi.
Lost time is collected in glass bottles and gets taken to the Tree of Time, the moon explained. It is located in the magic forest, where the sun is always shining. There are many bottles of different sizes on the tree, because some people waste a lot of time and others only waste a little.
Th c ngha l t s khng bao gi c gp li gia nh v bn b ca mnh na sao? Amanda nc n. T nn lm g y?
Does that mean Ill never get to see my family or friends again? Amanda sniffed. What should I do now?
Ch c mt cch duy nht bn c th ly li thi gian, mt trng ni. Bn cn phi i ti Cy Thi Gian v tm chic l c tn ca bn. Sau hy m n ra v gii phng thi gian ca bn.
There is only one thing you can do to get your time back, said the moon. You need to go to the Tree of Time and find the bottle with your name on it. Then, open it and release your time.
Amanda sut ni theo thi quen: , vy ngy mai t s lm... nhng mt trng ni tip, Tuy nhin, bn phi i ngay. Nu bn khng gii phng thi gian trong vng nm ting ng h, th thi gian ca bn s b gi li trn cy mi mi v bn s b mc kt y.
Amanda was about to give her usual answer: Well, Ill do it tomorrow...when the moon continued, However, you must go now. If you dont release your time within five hours, it will remain on the tree forever and youll be stuck here.
T sn sng! Amanda ht ln. Nhng lm sao ti ti c khu rng?
Im ready! Amanda shouted. But how can I get to the forest?
