6. Bouncing

6/Bouncing After we finished playing Cinderella, the nanna called us to dinner. Me and Lucille and that Grace skipped into the big dining room. We sat at a long, shiny table. Pretty soon, Lucille's nanna came in from the kitchen. And she gave us our dinner. And guess what? Its name was beans and Frank! "Hurray!" I said. "Hurray for beans and Frank! 'Cause this is my favorite kind of home cooking!" The nanna did a teeny smile. "Well, we usually have a cook. But I gave her the night off," she said.

我们玩完灰姑娘的游戏后，奶奶叫我们去吃饭。 我和露西尔还有那个格蕾丝跳进了大餐厅。 我们坐在一张又长又亮的桌子旁。 很快，露西尔的奶奶从厨房走了进来。 她给了我们晚餐。 你猜怎么着?它的名字是豆子和弗兰克!“加油!”我说。 “为豆子和弗兰克欢呼!”因为这是我最喜欢的家常菜!”奶奶微微一笑。 “嗯，我们通常有厨师。 但我让她休息了一晚上。”

After that, the nanna poured milk into beautiful sparkly glasses. "Oooo, Nanna! These are your best crystal glasses!" said Lucille real thrilled. "I love these expensive things!" "Me, too! I love these expensive things, too!" I said. Only too bad for me. 'Cause nobody even told me that crystal glasses were very heavy. And so when I picked up my glass, it slipped right out of my hand. And it fell on the floor! And it broke into lots of pieces! Lucille's whole mouth came open. "OH NO! YOU BROKE IT! YOU BROKE MY NANNA'S CRYSTAL GLASS!" The nanna's face was reddish and scrunchy. "Sorry, Nanna," I said real soft. "Sorry I

然后，奶奶把牛奶倒进漂亮的闪闪发光的杯子里。 “哦哦,奶奶!这是你最好的水晶眼镜!”露西尔激动地说。 “我喜欢这些昂贵的东西!”“我也是!我也喜欢这些昂贵的东西!”我说。 对我来说太糟糕了。因为没人告诉我水晶玻璃杯很重。 所以当我拿起杯子的时候，它就从我手里滑了出去。 它掉在了地板上!它碎成了许多碎片!露西尔张开了整个嘴巴。 “哦,不!你把它弄坏了!你打碎了我奶奶的水晶玻璃杯!”奶奶的脸红红的，发着发。 “对不起，奶奶。”我温柔地说。 “对不起,我

broke your crystal glass." The nanna sucked her cheeks way into her head. "Let's just try to be more careful, shall we, dear?" she said. I bobbed my head up and down. "We shall," I said back. After that, I ate my beans and Frank very careful. Only pretty soon, my Frank spilled off my fork. And he landed on the nanna's white tablecloth. "OH NO!" hollered Lucille. "THAT'S MY NANNA'S GOOD LINEN TABLECLOTH! SHE BROUGHT IT ALL THE WAY FROM IRELAND!" The nanna's face was twisty and puffy. I quick pushed my plate away from me. My stomach felt in a tight knot. "Yeah, only guess what? I am not actually

打碎了你的水晶玻璃杯。” 奶奶把她的脸颊吸进了脑袋。 “我们还是小心点好吗，亲爱的?”她说。 我上下晃动着头。 “我们会的，”我回答。在那之后，我非常小心地吃着我的豆子和弗兰克。 没过多久，我的弗兰克就从叉子上洒了下来。 他落在奶奶的白色桌布上。 “哦，不!”露西尔喊道。 “那是我奶奶的上等亚麻桌布!”她大老远从爱尔兰带来的!”奶奶的脸又皱又肿。 我赶紧把盘子推开。 我的胃感到很难受。 “是啊，你猜怎么着?我不是真的

hungry anymore. And so I will just sit here and not spill anything, I think." The nanna cleaned up my messes with a wet cloth. After she finished, she brought us chocolate ice cream for dessert. Only too bad for me. 'Cause a teeny plop of ice cream dropped right off my spoon. And it landed on my chair cushion. The nanna did a big breath. "You're a bit of a bull in a china shop, aren't you, dear?" she said. "Sorry, Nanna," I said. "Sorry, sorry, sorry." The nanna patted my hand very stiffish. "Quite all right," she said kind of mumbly. After that, I got down from the table. And me and my friends went back to Lucille's room. And guess what?

饿了。所以我想我会坐在这里，不要洒东西。” 奶奶用一块湿布帮我收拾残局。 吃完后，她给我们拿来巧克力冰淇淋当甜点。 对我来说太糟糕了。因为有一小块冰淇淋从我的勺子上掉了下来。 它落在了我的椅垫上。 奶奶深深地吸了一口气。 “你在瓷器店里有点像一头公牛，是不是，亲爱的?”她说。 “对不起，奶奶，”我说。“对不起，对不起，对不起。” 奶奶用力地拍了拍我的手。 “很好，”她嗫嚅着说。 之后，我从桌子上下来。 我和我的朋友们回到了露西尔的房间。 你猜怎么着?

Things got funner! 'Cause Lucille said we could play with the games in her closet! On account of they weren't even expensive! First, we played Chutes and Ladders. Then we played Twister and Bingo and Chinese checkers and Tic-Tac-Toad and Candyland. Plus also we played Let's Spin Till We Get Real Dizzy and Fall Down. And guess what? I didn't even break anything! "Hey! I think I am getting the hang of this party!" I said very happy. Just then, the nanna knocked on Lucille's door. "Time for you ladies to put your pajamas on," she told us. I danced all around the room real happy. "Hurray!" I said "Hurray for pajamas!

事情变得更有趣了!因为露西尔说我们可以玩她衣柜里的游戏!因为它们根本不贵!首先，我们玩了滑槽和梯子。 然后我们玩扭扭、宾果、中国跳棋、井字蛤蟆和糖果乐园。 此外，我们还玩了让我们旋转，直到我们得到真正的头晕和摔倒。 你猜怎么着?我什么都没弄坏!“嘿!我想我已经掌握这个聚会的窍门了!”我说很高兴。 就在这时，奶奶敲了敲露西尔的门。 “女士们，是时候穿上睡衣了，”她告诉我们。 我很高兴地在房间里跳起舞来。 “加油!”我说:“睡衣万岁!

'Cause I brought my favorites!" I quick put them on. "See them, Nanna? See how biggish and baggish they are? That is how come they feel so comfortable!" The nanna's eyes looked down at me. "How very…charming," she said. Just then, that Grace jumped right in front of me. "Look at mine, Nanna!" she said. "See mine? My pajamas have neon-green polka dotties on them!" "How very …colourful," said the nanna. All of a sudden, Lucille popped out of her big closet. "Ta-da! Look at me, everyone! I am wearing my beauteous pink satin nightie! See me? See how lovely I look! I look like a gorgeous model in this thing!" she said.

因为我带了我最喜欢的!”我很快就穿上了。 “看到了吗，奶奶?”看到它们有多大多肥了吗? 这就是为什么他们感觉这么舒服!”奶奶的眼睛俯视着我。 “多么……迷人啊，”她说。 就在这时，那个格蕾丝跳到我面前。 “看我的，奶奶!”她说。 “看我的吗?我的睡衣上有霓虹绿色的圆点!”“多么……多姿多彩啊!”奶奶说。 突然，露西尔从她的大衣橱里跳出来。 “哈哈!大家看着我!我穿着我漂亮的粉色缎面睡衣!看到我吗? 看我多可爱!我穿上这件衣服就像个漂亮的模特!”
