【Text】
An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect. 'This is a wonderful place for a picnic,' said Gloria Gleam.
'It couldn't be better, Gloria,' Brinksley Meers agreed. 'No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?'
Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry. 'Now you get out of here, all of you!' he shouted. 'I'm sheriff here. Do you see that notice? It says "No Camping" -- in case you can't read!' 'Look, sheriff,' said Rockwall, 'don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.'
'Oh, is it?' said the sheriff with a sneer. 'Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!'

一輛古舊的汽車停在一條干涸的河床邊，一群男女演員下了車。他們戴著墨鏡，穿著舊衣裳，特別小心以防別人認(rèn)出他們。但他們很快就發(fā)覺，化裝的效果有時(shí)過(guò)分完美了。

“是再好不過(guò)的了，格格利亞?！辈剂挚怂估?米爾斯表示同意，“沒有記者，沒有影迷！我們?yōu)槭裁床唤?jīng)常來(lái)這里呢？”
