15-LINE UP!

LINE Up! That night, we slept in the big TREE on the other side of the waterfall. We lay in a hollow where two branches joined. Our backs were pressed together for support. Still, I didn't sleep a wink. I was too afraid of falling out of the tree. Next morning, we all gathered for a meeting. We had to decide who would be in charge on the island. "We will vote by a show of paws!" I said. Of course, Trap voted for himself. Thea voted for me. And Benjamin and I gave our votes to Thea. My sister cleared her throat. "Friends, I want you to know you won't regret your

排队!那天晚上，我们睡在瀑布另一边的一棵大树上。 我们躺在两根树枝相连的洼地里。 我们的背靠在一起以作支撑。 不过，我还是没有合眼。 我太害怕从树上掉下来。 第二天早上，我们聚在一起开会。 我们必须决定谁来管理这个岛。 “我们要用爪子来投票!”我说。 当然，特拉普给自己投了票。 西娅选了我。本杰明和我把票投给了西娅。 我妹妹清了清嗓子。 “朋友们，我想让你们知道，你们不会后悔

choice," she said, wiping away a small tear. Then... "Line up now!" she shouted. "I will begin by assigning your duties. At noon, you will report to me and you will be on time! When I say noon, I mean noon! Not one minute before, not one minute later! IS THAT QUITE CLEAR? I don't hear you!!!" "Ugh! She's already gotten a swollen head! I knew I was right to vote for myself," muttered Trap under his whiskers. Thea was walking up and down the beach. "We shall build a shelter under the TREE. It will take us two, no, three days to finish it. Then we leave in search of the Emerald Eye!" Trap's eyes lit up again. "The treasure! Now you're talking!" He grinned.

她说着，擦去了一滴眼泪。 然后……“现在排队!”她喊道。 “我将从分配你的职责开始。 中午，你要向我报到，你要准时!我说中午，就是中午!一分钟也不能早，一分钟也不能晚!清楚了吗? 我没听见!!”“哎!她的头已经肿了!我知道我投票给自己是对的。”特拉普在胡须下喃喃自语。 西娅在海滩上走来走去。 “我们要在树下搭个帐篷。 我们要花两天，不，三天才能完成。 然后我们就出发去寻找翡翠眼!”特拉普的眼睛又亮了。 “宝藏!你说得对!”他咧嘴一笑。

In the meantime, Thea had grabbed a sheet of paper and was scribbling down tasks for all of us. "Geronimo, you will take care of provisions. You'll gather fruit, berries, and roots. You'll also fish for crabs. Trap, you will be head chef." "EXCELLENT CHOICE, BOSS! Just wait till you see what tasty dishes I can prepare! Whisker-licking good!" said my cousin cheerfully. "Benjamin, you will help me build our shelter under the TREE," Thea continued, without missing a beat. "And now, get going!" Friends together! Mice forever!

与此同时，西娅拿了一张纸，草草写下了我们所有人的任务。 "杰罗尼莫，你负责供应。 你会收集水果、浆果和树根。 你还可以钓螃蟹。 特拉普，你来当主厨。” “不错的选择，老板!”等着看我能做什么美味的菜吧!太棒了!”表妹高兴地说。 “本杰明，你帮我在树下搭个遮蔽处。”西娅接着说，一刻也没错过。 “现在，出发吧!”朋友在一起!老鼠永远!
