06 The Frog

The Frog To pay her back for the glass eye in his beer, Mr Twit decided he would put a frog in Mrs Twit's bed. He caught a big one down by the pond and carried it back secretly in a box. That night, when Mrs Twit was in the bathroom getting ready for bed, Mr Twit slipped the frog between her sheets. Then he got into his own bed and waited for the fun to begin. Mrs Twit came back and climbed into her bed and put out the light. She lay there in the dark scratching her tummy. Her tummy was itching. Dirty old hags like her always have itchy tummies. Then all at once she felt something cold and slimy crawling over her feet. She screamed. 'What's the matter with you?' Mr Twit said. 'Help!' screamed Mrs Twit, bouncing about. 'There's something in my bed!'

为了报答特威特太太在他啤酒里装的玻璃眼睛，特威特先生决定在特威特太太的床上放一只青蛙。 他在池塘边抓了一条大鱼，偷偷地装在盒子里带了回来。 那天晚上，特威特太太在浴室准备睡觉时，特威特先生把青蛙塞进了她的被窝里。 然后他躺在自己的床上，等待着乐趣的开始。 特威特太太回来了，爬到床上，熄了灯。 她躺在黑暗中搔着肚子。 她的肚子发痒。像她这样肮脏的老巫婆总是肚子痒。 突然，她觉得有什么又冷又黏的东西在她脚上爬。 她尖叫起来。“你怎么啦?”推特说。 “帮助!特威特太太尖叫着，跳来跳去。 “我床上有东西!”

'I'll bet it's that Giant Skillywiggler I saw on the floor just now,' Mr Twit said. 'That what?' screamed Mrs Twit. 'I tried to kill it but it got away,' Mr Twit said. 'It's got teeth like screwdrivers!' 'Help!' screamed Mrs Twit. 'Save me! It's all over my feet!' 'It'll bite off your toes,' said Mr Twit. Mrs Twit fainted. Mr Twit got out of bed and fetched a jug of cold water. He poured the water over Mrs Twit's head to revive her. The frog crawled up from under the sheets to get near the water. It started jumping

“我敢打赌，这就是我刚才在地板上看到的那个巨大的斯基维格勒，”推特先生说。 “什么?特威特太太尖叫道。 推特先生说:“我想杀了它，但它跑了。” “它的牙齿像螺丝刀一样!”“救命啊!特威特太太尖叫道。 “救我!”我的脚上都是!“它会咬掉你的脚趾的，”推特先生说。 特威特太太昏了过去。特威特先生下了床，拿了一壶冷水。 他把水倒在特威特太太的头上，使她苏醒过来。 青蛙从被单下面爬出来，想靠近水。 它开始跳跃

about on the pillow. Frogs love water. This one was having a good time. When Mrs Twit came to, the frog had just jumped on to her face. This is not a nice thing to happen to anyone in bed at night. She screamed again. 'By golly it is a Giant Skillywiggler!' Mr Twit said. 'It'll bite off your nose.'

在枕头上。青蛙喜欢水。 这个人玩得很开心。 当特威特太太醒来时，青蛙刚刚跳到她的脸上。 这不是一件好事发生在任何人晚上躺在床上。 她又尖叫起来。“天哪，这是一只巨大的巧扭怪!”推特说。 “它会咬掉你的鼻子的。”

Mrs Twit leapt out of bed and flew downstairs and spent the night on the sofa. The frog went to sleep on her pillow.

特威特太太从床上跳起来，飞到楼下，在沙发上过夜。 青蛙在她的枕头上睡着了。
