3 Ch3-Meet the New Boss

Chapter 3 Meet the New Boss What?! Mr. Klutz was fired? It couldn't be true! We were all shocked. I thought it was one of those times when something really horrible happens and then it turns out just to be a dream. I saw that in a movie once. But the next morning while we were putting our backpacks away, everybody was talking about what happened. "Dr. Carbles can't fire Mr. Klutz!" said Michael. "Well, he did," said Ryan. "But Mr. Klutz is the best principal in the world!" said Neil the nude kid. Neil was right. Everybody loved Mr. Klutz. I was sad. Some kids were crying. Teachers were hugging each other in the hallway and dabbing their eyes with tissues. It was like Mr. Klutz had died. After we pledged the allegiance, our teacher, Miss Daisy, said we should remember the good times we had with Mr. Klutz. "Remember when he got his foot caught at the top of the flagpole and was hanging upside down?" said Ryan. "Remember when he dressed like Santa in the holiday pageant, and he was hanging upside down from his sleigh?" said Michael. "Once I got called to his office, and he was hanging upside down from

第3章遇见新老板什么?克鲁茨先生被解雇了? 这不可能是真的!我们都震惊了。 我还以为这是那种可怕的事情发生的时候最后发现只是一场梦。 我在电影里看过一次。 但是第二天早上，当我们把书包收起来的时候，每个人都在谈论发生的事情。 “卡伯斯博士不能开除克鲁茨先生!”迈克尔说。 “嗯，他说了，”瑞恩说。 “但克鲁茨先生是世界上最好的校长!”裸体小孩尼尔说。 尼尔是对的。大家都喜欢克鲁茨先生。 我很伤心。一些孩子在哭。 老师们在走廊里互相拥抱，用纸巾擦着眼睛。 就像克鲁茨先生死了一样。 在我们宣誓效忠后，我们的老师黛西小姐说，我们应该记住和克鲁茨先生在一起的美好时光。 “还记得他的脚被旗杆顶卡住，倒挂着的时候吗?”瑞恩说。 “还记得他在节日庆典上打扮成圣诞老人，倒挂在雪橇上的那次吗?”迈克尔说。 “有一次我被叫到他的办公室，他正倒挂在

the ceiling," I told everybody. "Mr. Klutz sure hangs upside down a lot," said Emily, who is a big crybaby. It was hard to concentrate on reading and math that morning. We were all thinking about the good old days with Mr. Klutz. When it was time to go to the vomitorium for lunch, we were still talking about him. "They'll have to get us a new principal," said Andrea, who was sitting with her annoying girl friends at the next table. "Who do you think it will be?" asked Ryan. "I hope he's nice," said Emily, who always hopes everybody will be nice. "How do you know it will be a he?" said Andrea. "Maybe the principal will be a lady." "Maybe one of the teachers will become principal," Michael said. "Like Mr. Docker or Ms. Hannah."

天花板，”我告诉大家。 爱哭鬼艾米丽说:“克鲁茨先生肯定经常倒挂着。” 那天早上很难集中精力阅读和数学。 我们都在想和克鲁茨先生一起度过的美好时光。 到了去体育馆吃午饭的时间，我们还在谈论他。 “他们得给我们找个新校长了，”安德里亚说，她和她讨厌的女朋友们坐在邻桌。 “你觉得会是谁呢?”瑞恩问。 “我希望他是个好人，”爱米丽说，她总是希望每个人都对他好。 “你怎么知道会是他呢?”安德烈说。 “也许校长会是位女士。” “也许其中一个老师会成为校长，”迈克尔说。 “比如多克先生或汉娜女士。”

"Being principal is an important job," said Neil the nude kid. "There's lots to do, like yell at kids and boss around teachers." "And dress up in weird costumes and marry turkeys," I added. "It will be hard to find someone who can fill Mr. Klutz's shoes," said Andrea. "Who cares about filling his shoes?" I said. "We just need a new principal. What would they fill his shoes with anyway?" "It's just an expression, dumbhead," Andrea said. "So is your face," I told her. We didn't have to wait long to find out who the new principal would be. At the end of the day, we had to go to the all-purpose room again. Once everybody was seated, a lady got up onstage. She told us her name was Mrs. Haney and she was the superintendent of all the schools in the county. Wow! And we thought Dr. Carbles was important. If Dr. Carbles is like the king of the world, then Mrs. Haney is like the queen of the universe. "I bet she can fly and see through walls," I whispered to Michael. "That's why she's Super Intendent." Mrs. Haney said she knew we were sad about Mr. Klutz and told us not to

“当校长是一份重要的工作，”裸体小孩尼尔说。 “有很多事情要做，比如对孩子大喊大叫，在老师周围发号施令。” “穿上奇装异服，和火鸡结婚，”我补充说。 “很难找到能接替克鲁茨先生的人，”安德里亚说。 “谁在乎谁来接替他?”我说。 “我们只需要一位新校长。 他们会用什么来填补他的空缺呢?”“这只是一种表达，笨蛋，”安德里亚说。 “你的脸也是，”我告诉她。 我们没等多久就知道新校长是谁了。 在一天结束的时候，我们不得不再次去多功能室。 大家落座后，一位女士走上舞台。 她告诉我们她叫哈尼太太，是全县所有学校的负责人。 哇!我们认为卡布尔斯博士很重要。 如果说卡伯斯博士是世界之王，那么哈尼夫人就是宇宙女王。 “我打赌她能飞，还能看穿墙。”我低声对迈克尔说。 “这就是她成为超级管理员的原因。” 哈尼太太说，她知道我们为克鲁茨先生感到难过，并告诉我们不要这么做

worry. Nothing would change now that he was gone. "I'd like to introduce you to your new principal," she announced. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years who walked out on the stage. I'm not going to tell you. Okay, okay, I'll tell you. And you don't even have to read the next chapter. It was Dr. Carbles!

担心。现在他走了，一切都不会改变。 “我想把你们介绍给你们的新校长，”她宣布。 你永远也不会相信是谁走上了舞台。 我不会告诉你的。 好吧，好吧，我告诉你。 你甚至不用读下一章。 是卡伯斯博士!
