The Second Wish
第二个愿望
The children sat huddled under a tree . They were cold and hungry and had no place to go. I want to go home” Jane shivered. “ It’s no fun being pretty if no one knows who you are. ” “ It’s getting dark, ” Bobby said, pointing to the sky. “ What are we going to do?” The children watched miserably as the sun began to go down.
孩子们蜷缩在树下。 他们又冷又饿,没有地方去。 我想回家。”简瑟瑟发抖。 ”如果没有人知道你是谁,那么变漂亮就没意思了。” ”天快黑了,”鲍比指着天空说。 我们要做什么?” 孩子们痛苦地看着太阳开始下山。
” Wait a minute, ” Cy blurted . ” Do you feel that?” They all felt a light mist on their faces, just as they had felt when they were with Huey that morning . They looked at each other cautiously. ” Panther! It’s you! ” Cy shouted joyfully. Exactly as Huey had said, the wish had ended as soon as the sun was set.
“等等,”赛伊脱口而出。 “你感觉到了吗?”他们都感到脸上有一层薄雾, 就像他们那天早上和休伊在一起时的感觉一样。 他们小心翼翼地看着对方。 “黑豹是你!”赛伊高兴地喊道。 正如休伊所说,太阳一落山,愿望就结束了。
” Oh, I’m so happy to be me again! ” Panther cried. Bobby added, “ Me too . Now let’s go home and get something to eat! ” Aunt Martha was waiting by the door when the children got home . ” Am I ever glad to see you, ” she said, giving them eacha big hug and kiss .
“噢,我很高兴再次成为我!”黑豹哭了。 鲍比补充道:“我也是。现在我们回家吃点东西吧!” 孩子们回家时,玛莎阿姨正在门口等着。 “我真的很高兴见到你,”她说,给了他们一个大大的拥抱和亲吻。
She told them about the strange kids who had broken into the house . “ I nearly had a heart attack, ” she exclaimed. “ How they knew my name, I’ll never know. ” Dinner that evening was unusually quiet. The children were careful not to say anything about Huey or their wish .
她告诉他们那些闯进房子的奇怪的孩子。 ”我差点心脏病发作,”她喊道。 ”他们怎么知道我的名字,我永远也不知道。” 那天晚上的晚餐异常安静。 孩子们小心翼翼地对休伊或他们的愿望只字不提。
But once they were alone, they all spoke at once. Cy held up his hand . “ Wait, wait, ” he said. “ Panther, you go first. ” ” I want to say that I’m sorry about today, ” she said quietly. ” And I don’t think we should go see Huey anymore. ” The others disagreed.
但一旦他们单独一人,他们就立刻说话了。 赛伊举起他的手。 ”等等,等等,”他说。 ”黑豹,你先走。” “我想说,今天的事我很抱歉,”她平静地说。 “我认为我们不应该再去看休伊了。” 其他人不同意。
