My guess was that Mr. Jefferson wouldn't be too happy about a fish in the toilet, and I didn't wanna get sent to bed early for the second time on this trip. Mr. Jefferson asked me where everyone ELSE was, and I said I thought they might be down by the river. He told me that if I saw anyone, I should tell them to come to the main lodge for mail call. When Mr. Jefferson left, we put the lid down on the toilet to make sure the fish didn't flop out onto the floor, then we headed down to the main lodge to join the rest of our class. Mrs. Graziano handed out mail to all the kids who got something delivered from home. Mom sent me a letter, and I'll admit I got a little choked up reading it.

我猜杰佛逊先生对厕所里有条鱼不会太高兴，我也不想在这次旅行中第二次被提前送上床睡觉。 杰佛逊先生问我其他人在哪里，我说我想他们可能在河边。 他告诉我，如果我看到任何人，我应该告诉他们到主旅馆来寄信。 杰斐逊先生离开后，我们盖上马桶盖，确保鱼不会掉到地板上，然后我们去了主小屋，加入了班上其他同学的行列。 格拉齐亚诺夫人给所有从家里收到东西的孩子们发了邮件。 妈妈给我寄了一封信，我承认我读的时候有点哽咽。

Dear Gregory, We miss you so much! Can't wait until you're back home. Hope you are having a wonderful time! Hugs + kisses, Mom I got a letter from Rodrick, too, but I didn't like HIS as much as Mom's. Dear Greg, I found your candy bars. Here, you can smell the wrappers. Har, har, har.

亲爱的格雷戈里，我们非常想念你！等不及等你回家了。 希望你玩得愉快！拥抱+亲吻，妈妈我也收到了罗德里克的信，但我不像妈妈的信那样喜欢他的。 亲爱的格雷格，我找到了你的糖果棒。 在这里，你可以闻到包装纸的味道。 哈，哈，哈。

I didn't get a letter from Dad, but I DID get one from the PIG. I just hope someone in my family wrote it as a joke, because if that thing has somehow learned how to write, then I don't even know what to say. Julian got a letter from home, too. But his mom made a HUGE mistake by sending a photo along with it.

我没有收到爸爸的信，但我收到了猪的一封信。 我只希望这是我家人写的笑话，因为如果那东西不知怎么学会了写字，那我都不知道该说什么了。 朱利安也收到了一封家信。 但是他的妈妈犯了一个巨大的错误，她把照片一起寄来了。

Julian wasn't the ONLY one who seemed homesick. A couple of kids didn't get anything at all, and they asked some of us who DID get letters to read them out loud. I MADE A BATCH OF YOUR FAVORITE COOKIES AND PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE FOR WHEN YOU GET HOME! LOVE, MOM. A few kids got care packages with fresh clothes and stuff like that. But the big winner in our group was Graham Bertran, who got a HUGE box that was packed with a ton of supplies.

朱利安并不是唯一一个想家的人。 有几个孩子什么也没收到，他们让我们这些收到信的人大声读出来。 我做了一批你最喜欢的饼干，放在冰箱里等你回家的时候吃！爱,妈妈。 有几个孩子收到了装有新衣服之类的包裹。 但是我们组的大赢家是Graham Bertran，他得到了一个巨大的箱子，里面装满了一吨的物资。

Back at the cabin later on, we found out Graham had mailed the box to HIMSELF before the trip started, and he had hidden all SORTS of goodies in with the camping supplies. Luckily, he was willing to SHARE. I never thought I'd eat Doritos out of a hiking boot, but by that point I'd already given up my last shred of dignity. Emilio looked out the window and saw Mr. Jefferson coming back to the cabin, so we hid all of Graham's stuff under a blanket. When Mr. Jefferson entered the cabin, he walked right by without even noticing.

后来回到小木屋，我们发现格雷厄姆在旅行开始前就把盒子寄给了自己，他把各种各样的好东西藏在露营用品里。 幸运的是，他愿意分享。 我从没想过我会把多力多滋从登山靴里拿出来吃，但那时我已经放弃了最后一丝尊严。 埃米利奥向窗外望去，看到杰佛逊先生回到小屋，于是我们把格雷厄姆的东西都藏在毯子下面。 杰佛逊先生走进小木屋时，他甚至没有注意到，径直走过。

Unfortunately, we were so focused on the snacks that we forgot all about the FISH. I feel a little bad for Mr. Jefferson, but it was a good reminder to me that you should ALWAYS check inside the toilet before sitting down. Mr. Jefferson was mad and thought this was some kind of practical joke.

不幸的是，我们太专注于零食而忘记了鱼。 我为杰弗逊先生感到有点难过，但这对我是个很好的提醒，你在坐下之前一定要检查一下厕所里的情况。 杰斐逊先生很生气，认为这是某种恶作剧。
