The Children Meet Huey

孩子们认识休伊

After a while, Cy got tired of lowering the bucket. The others wanted to give up, too. Cy let out a deep breath. “ That’s it. There’s nothing else down there, ” he said, emptying a final bucket load. ” Wait, ” cried Panther. ” Look at this! ” She picked out an unusual shell covered in mud.

过了一会儿，赛伊厌倦了放下水桶。 其他人也想放弃。 赛伊深吸了一口气。 就这样。下面没有其他东西了，”他说着，倒了最后一桶水。 “等等，”黑豹喊道。 “看看这个！”她发现了一个不寻常的外壳，上面沾满了泥土。

” What is it?” Jane asked, looking closer. Panther wiped off some of the mud and held it up. It was beautiful. " I think it’s a seashell, ” she replied. She began wiping off the rest of the mud. Suddenly the shell began to giggle. Panther was so shocked she almost dropped it.

"这是什么？”简走近一看，问道。 黑豹擦去了一些泥，把它举起来。 它很漂亮。 "我认为这是一个贝壳，”她回答。 她开始擦掉剩下的泥。 突然，贝壳开始咯咯笑起来。 黑豹吓了一跳，差点掉下来。

" It laughed! ” Bobby shouted loudly. " Something’s inside . ” He knocked on the shell. " Ouch! Stop that! ” the shell cried. The children all looked at each other. Then the most amazing thing happened. A creature poked its head out from the shell. It had the face of a seahorse.

"它笑了！”鲍比大声喊道。 "里面有东西。”他敲了敲贝壳。 "哎哟住手！”贝壳哭了。 孩子们都面面相觑。 然后最令人惊奇的事情发生了。 一个生物从壳中探出头来。 它有一张海马的脸。

On its neck and back were shimmery fins that opened and closed . As its head circled left and right, the fins glowed and shone . For the first time in their lives, the children were speechless. " Well?” the creature asked in an irritated voice. Finally, Panther spoke up .

在它的脖子和背部有闪闪发光的鳍，可以开合。 当它的头部左右盘旋时，鱼鳍发光发亮。 孩子们有生以来第一次哑口无言。 "嗯？”那生物用恼怒的声音问道。 最后，黑豹开口了。

" What are you?” The creature gazed at them . " Let me get this straight, ” it began . " You throw things on me and wake me up. ” It glared at Jane . “ You start taking away my things . ” It looked at Cy. “ You tickle me. ” It stared at Panther. “ Then you bang on my shell! ” Bobby looked down at the ground .

"你是什么？” 那生物凝视着他们。 "让我搞清楚，“开始了。 "你把东西扔在我身上，把我叫醒。”它怒视着简。 ”你开始拿走我的东西。”它看着赛。 ”你逗我痒痒。”它盯着黑豹。 ”那你就砸我的壳！” 鲍比低头看着地面。
