5. Talking It Over

5 Talking It Over I did what Mr. Scary said. I stayed in my seat. And I thought very hard about what just happened here. First, I tapped on my chin. Then I scratched my head. And I strained and strained my brain. But nothing actually came to me. Finally, I tapped on Herbert. "Okay. I give up. What just happened here?" I asked. "Why is Mr. Scary so mad at us?" Herb did a shrug. "I'm not really sure," he said. "We dived in

我照吓人先生说的做了。 我呆在座位上。我仔细想了想刚才发生的事。 首先，我敲了敲我的下巴。 然后我挠了挠头。我的大脑一直很紧张。 但实际上我什么也没想到。 最后，我敲了敲赫伯特。 “好吧。我放弃了。刚才这里发生了什么事？”我问。 “为什么吓人先生这么生我们的气？”赫伯耸了耸肩。 “我不太确定，”他说。 我们潜入水中

a pile of money. Who wouldn't do that?" May jumped up and pointed to herself. "I wouldn't, that's who!" she said. "I did not dive in the money pile. Instead, I walked around the edges with dignity. And I picked up whatever money squeezed out." Herb looked curious at her. "How much money squeezed out?" May stood there a minute. "None," she said. "Exactly," said Herb. May sat back down. Herb looked at the board and sighed. "I have a feeling that Mr. Scary really hates our Thankful List." May threw her head back. "Of course he hates our Thankful List!" she said. "Just look how stupid it is!" She hurried to the board. And she read each item out loud. 1. CRANBERRY JELLY IN A CAN

一堆钱。谁不会这么做呢？”梅跳了起来，指着自己。 “我才不会呢，就是他！”她说。 “我没有跳进钱堆里。 相反，我带着尊严在边缘徘徊。 我捡起了榨出来的钱。” 赫伯好奇地看着她。 “挤出了多少钱？”梅在那儿站了一会儿。 “没有，”她说。“没错。”赫伯说。 梅又坐了下来。赫伯看着黑板叹了口气。 “我有一种感觉，恐怖先生真的很讨厌我们的感恩清单。” 梅仰起头来。“他当然讨厌我们的感恩清单！”她说。 “看看这有多蠢！”她急忙走到黑板前。 她大声读出每一条。 1. 罐装蔓越莓果冻

2. EXPLODING BISCUITS 3. NIPSY DOODLES 4. RAINBOW SPRINKLES 5. TOILET PAPER 6. MONEY I scratched my head again. "I don't see the problem," I said. "I think we have a nice little assortment there." May stamped her foot. "It's stupid, Junie Jones! Stupid, stupid, stupid!" she said. "Who in the world is thankful for toilet paper?" Sheldon raised his hand. "I am!" he said. "My grampa Ned Potts says that toilet paper was one of the greatest inventions in history. Especially after they put that little cardboard rollie thing inside." I nodded. "Yes," I said. "That cardboard rollie thing is a genius. If you put some string through it, it makes a lovely necklace for Mother's Day." José jumped up. "PLUS, if you have two of

2. 爆炸饼干。可爱的涂鸦。 彩虹糖屑。6.厕纸 我又挠了挠头。 “我看不出有什么问题，”我说。 “我认为我们有一个不错的小品种。” 梅跺着脚。“这太愚蠢了，琼·琼斯！”愚蠢，愚蠢，愚蠢！”她说。 “世界上有谁会感谢卫生纸？”谢尔顿举起了手。 “我是！”他说。“我爷爷内德·波茨说，卫生纸是历史上最伟大的发明之一。 尤其是在他们把那个小纸板车放进去之后。” 我点了点头。“是的，”我说。“那个硬纸板滚轴真是个天才。 如果你在上面串上一根绳子，它就会成为母亲节的一条可爱的项链。” 约瑟跳了起来。“另外，如果你有两个

them, you can make binoculars!" he said. "I make binoculars and spy on my sister. And they really, really work!" May did a huffy breath at us. "Well, I don't care what you guys say. My mother, Mrs. Mary Murkee, says our list from yesterday is ridiculous. She says children are never thankful for the right stuff. And so that's how come she started a brand- new Thankful List for us." She reached in her pocket and pulled out the list. "My mother says if we use this list, we will win the contest for sure." She unfolded it. "Who wants to hear it? Who wants to hear the brand-new list my mother started?"

他们，你可以做双筒望远镜！” “我做双筒望远镜，监视我妹妹。 而且它们真的真的很有效！”梅朝我们吹了口气。 “好吧，我不管你们怎么说。 我妈妈玛丽·默基太太说我们昨天的单子很可笑。 她说，孩子们从来不会对正确的事情心存感激。 这就是为什么她为我们列了一张全新的感恩清单。” 她把手伸进口袋，掏出了那张单子。 “我妈妈说，如果我们用这个名单，我们肯定会赢得比赛。” 她把它打开。“谁想听？” 谁想听我妈妈开始的新名单？”

No one raised their hand. May read it anyway. OUR THANKFUL LIST BY ROOM ONE NUMBER 1: Room One is thankful for our mothers, who cover us

没有人举手。我还是会读的。 1号房间感谢我们的母亲，是她们保护着我们

in blankets of warm, fuzzy love and make our hearts overflow with joy bubbles. NUMBER 2: Room One is thankful for the happy sound of our mothers' laughter as it tinkles through the air and melts like musical snow crystals in our ears. NUMBER 3: Room One is thankful for May. The End. May looked up and grinned. "I added that last one myself. But I think it fits right in," she said. She folded her list up again. And she skipped back to her seat. At first, Room One did not say any words. We just stared at each other with curious eyes. Then finally, Lennie spoke up. "I think we should stick with the Nipsy Doodles," he said. All of the children got relief in our faces. "Yes, yes! Me too! Me too!" we said.

在温暖的毯子里，毛茸茸的爱，让我们的心里溢满欢乐的泡泡。 1号房间感谢我们母亲幸福的笑声，因为它在空气中叮当作响，像音乐般的雪晶在我们的耳朵里融化。 3 .一号房间感谢梅。 最后。梅抬起头，咧嘴一笑。 最后一个是我自己加的。 但我认为这很合适，”她说。 她又把单子折起来。 她跳回到座位上。 一开始，一号房间没有说话。 我们只是好奇地看着对方。 最后，伦尼开口了。 “我认为我们应该继续使用Nipsy Doodles，”他说。 所有的孩子都从我们脸上松了一口气。 “是的,是的!我也是!我也是！”我们说。
