5. The Fairy

5 The Fairy That night we had festivities. Festivities is when my grampa and grandma come over. And all of us eat cake. Grandma Helen Miller made the cake herself. She put a big smiley face on the top. Only that is not all. 'Cause the smiley face had a tooth missing! Just like me! I laughed and laughed at that silly thing. Then I reached in my pocket. And I got my tooth. And I passed it all around the table.

5仙女那天晚上我们举行了庆祝活动。 庆祝活动是我爷爷奶奶过来的时候。 我们都吃蛋糕。海伦·米勒奶奶亲手做的蛋糕。 她在上面画了一个大大的笑脸。 这还不是全部。因为那个笑脸缺了一颗牙！就像我一样！我对那件愚蠢的事笑了又笑。 然后我把手伸进口袋。 我还得到了我的牙齿。我把它传了一遍。

"Oh, that's a beaut, Junie B.," said Grandma Miller. "I know it, Grandma. I know it is a beaut," I said real proud. "I can't wait to take it to school for Show-and-Tell. The children are going to love this thing." Daddy looked strange at me. "Oh, gee… I don't know, honey," he said. "I'm not really sure you should take your tooth to school." Mother shook her head. "No, Junie B. That's definitely not a good idea," she said. "And besides, you won't even have your tooth on Monday, remember? You have to leave it for the tooth fairy tonight." Just then, my skin got chill bumps again. And the flutterflies came back in my stomach. 'Cause I know stuff about the fairy, that's

“哦，真漂亮，朱妮·B，”米勒奶奶说。 “我知道，奶奶。我知道这是一个美丽的，”我说真正的骄傲。 “我迫不及待地想把它带到学校进行展示。 孩子们会喜欢这个的。” 爸爸奇怪地看着我。 “哦，天哪……我不知道，亲爱的，”他说。 “我不确定你是否应该把你的牙齿带到学校去。” 母亲摇了摇头。“不，琼？ 这绝对不是一个好主意，”她说。 “再说，你星期一连牙都长不出来，记得吗？” 今晚你得把它留给牙仙子。” 就在这时，我的皮肤又起了寒颤。 我的胃里又一阵不安。 因为我知道一些关于仙女的事

why. My voice felt kind of shaky. "Yeah, only what if I don't want to leave my tooth for the fairy, Mother?" I said. "What if I just want to take it to Show-and- Tell, and that's all?" Mother shook her head again. "No, Junie B. No Show-and-Tell," she said. "Taking a tooth to Show-and-Tell is just… well, it's just—" "Disgusting," said Daddy. "Yes," said Mother. "Disgusting." I whined at those two. "No, it isn't," I said. "Lots of kids bring teeth to school. 'Cause one time Roger brought a shark's tooth. And he even let me and Herb put it right in our mouths. And then we looked like sharks, too." I thought some more.

为什么。我的声音有些颤抖。 “是的，但是如果我不想把我的牙齿留给仙女怎么办，妈妈？”我说。 “如果我只是想把它拿到‘展示会’去，仅此而已呢？”母亲又摇了摇头。 “不，朱妮·b，不要表演，”她说。 “把一颗牙带到‘展示告诉’学校去真是……嗯，真是……” “是的，”妈妈说。“恶心”。 我对那两个人抱怨。“不，不是，”我说。 “很多孩子都带着牙齿来学校。 因为有一次罗杰带来了一颗鲨鱼的牙齿。 他甚至让我和赫伯直接放进嘴里。 然后我们看起来也像鲨鱼。” 我又想了想。

"Plus another time, Shirley brought her grandmother's dentures. And lots of us put those in our mouths, too." Grandma Miller did a little gag. Only I don't actually know why. My grampa patted her hand. "Just be glad she doesn't want to take the spit cup," he whispered. Just then, my whole face lighted up. 'Cause I have ears like a hawk, of course! "The spit cup! The spit cup! I will take the spit cup!" I hollered. I jumped down from my chair. And I zoomed to the bathroom. Then I got the spit cup out of the trash. And I dusted it off real good. "Good news, people!" I shouted real loud. "There's still some blood around the edges!" I quick ran back to show them.

还有一次，雪莉带来了她祖母的假牙。 我们很多人也把它们放进嘴里。” 米勒奶奶开了个玩笑。 只是我不知道为什么。 爷爷拍了拍她的手。 “她不想拿走吐痰杯，你应该感到高兴。”他低声说。 就在那时，我的整个脸都亮了起来。 当然是因为我的耳朵像鹰一样！“吐痰杯！”吐痰杯！我要那个吐痰杯！”我大声喊道。 我从椅子上跳了下来。 我飞快地跑到浴室。 然后我从垃圾桶里拿出了吐痰杯。 我把它洗得很干净。 “好消息，大家！”我大声喊叫。 “边上还有些血呢！”我赶紧跑回去给他们看。

Grandma Miller closed her eyes at that sight. Then Mother put her head on the table and hid her face in her arms. The festivities were over, I believe. After Grandma and Grampa Miller left, Mother took me into the bathroom. And we brushed my teeth real careful. Then I took my loose tooth out of my pocket. And I brushed that guy, too. I held it up to the light. "Look," I said. "Look how shiny I made it. I really wish I could take this tooth to school, Mother. I really, really wish that with all my might." Mother gave me a hug. "I know you do, Junie B.," she said. "But it's still going to be fun to put it under your pillow tonight, isn't it?" She smiled. "I remember when I was a

看到这一幕，米勒奶奶闭上了眼睛。 然后妈妈把头放在桌子上，把脸埋在怀里。 我想，庆祝活动已经结束了。 米勒爷爷奶奶走后，妈妈带我进了浴室。 我们很仔细地刷了牙。 然后我从口袋里拿出我那颗松动的牙齿。 我也给那家伙刷了毛。 我把它举到灯光下。 “看，”我说。“看我把它做得多闪亮。 我真希望能把这颗牙带去学校，妈妈。 我真的，真的希望我所有的力量。” 妈妈给了我一个拥抱。“我知道你喜欢，朱妮·B，”她说。 “但今晚把它放在枕头下面还是很有趣的，不是吗？”她笑了。 “我记得我小时候

little girl. I couldn't wait to wake up in the morning and find out how much money the tooth fairy had left me." My skin got prickly at that name again. Also, sweaty came on my head. I thought and thought about what to do. Then finally, I stood on my tiptoes. And I whispered in Mother's ear. "Yeah, only I know stuff about the fairy, Mother," I said. "I know the truth.'" Mother looked shocked at me. "The truth?" she said. "You know the truth?" "Yes," I whispered again. "I know the exact truth, Mother. 'Cause last year Paulie Allen Puffer told me the whole entire story." I took another big breath. Then I cupped my hands around her ear. And I talked even quieter.

小女孩。我迫不及待地想在早上醒来，看看牙仙子给我留下了多少钱。” 听到那个名字我又起鸡皮疙瘩了。 而且，我的头上也出汗了。 我想了又想该怎么办。 最后，我踮起脚尖。 我在妈妈耳边低语。 “是的，只有我知道仙女的事，妈妈。”我说。 “我知道真相。妈妈吃惊地看着我。 “真相？”她说。“你知道真相吗？”“是的，”我又低声说。 “我知道真相，妈妈。 因为去年保利·艾伦·普弗告诉了我整个故事。” 我又深吸了一口气。 然后我用手捂住她的耳朵。 我说得更安静了。
