18-ONE SKULL

ONE SKULL The plan was to leave at six o'clock the next morning. But by four o'clock, my cousin was already up and about. "Ratoons, we are leaving!" Trap shouted through a MEGAPHONE made of banana leaves. Thea grabbed a coconut and hurled it at his head. "Do you realize what time it is?" she shrieked, chasing him around our SHELTER. "When I catch you, I'm going to use your fur to make earmuffs!" Trap just giggled. "If you don't hurry, I am going to leave without you!" he shouted through the megaphone. "I am ready to rock! READY to roll! READY to rumble!

计划是第二天早晨六点钟出发。 但是到四点钟的时候，我表弟已经起床走动了。 “浣熊，我们要走了!”特拉普用香蕉叶做的扩音器喊道。 西娅抓起一个椰子朝他的头扔去。 “你知道现在几点了吗?”她尖叫着，在我们的庇护所里追着他。 “等我抓到你，我就用你的皮毛做耳套!”陷阱只是咯咯地笑。 “如果你不快点，我就要丢下你一个人走了!”他通过扩音器喊道。 “我准备好摇滚了!”准备好了!准备隆隆!

READY to party! Ready to GO! GO! GO!" Thea was tearing at her whiskers in a rage. "You are the one who brought him along!" she yelled at me. I wanted to say, "Actually, it was your idea," but I stopped myself. The look in my sister's eyes was MURDEROUS. We set out in single file. We marched all day long. By evening, we came to what's the point peak. Thea pointed at the map. "We have reached the location of

准备好派对了!准备出发!走吧!去吧!”西娅愤怒地撕扯着胡须。 “是你把他带来的!”她对我喊道。 我想说，“实际上，这是你的主意，”但我忍住了。 我妹妹的眼神充满了杀气。 我们排成纵队出发了。 我们走了一整天。到了晚上，我们来到了点峰。 西娅指着地图。“我们已经到达地点

the first skull. Listen to this secret message: "IF YOU FIND A BIG ROCK THE COLOR OF CHEESE, DON'T RUN AROUND, DON'T EVEN SNEEZE!" Somewhat puzzled, I looked around. "This must be the rock on the map," I said, pointing to a round, cheddar-colored boulder. "It looks good enough to eat!" I took a few steps forward. "But there is nothing to see here. Just some sand. Actually, a whole bunch of san—" I didn't get to finish my sentence. I was beginning to sink. "Look at me!" I giggled. "Hee—hee! Look, the sand has reached my ankles... no, my knees!"

第一个头骨。听听这个秘密信息:“如果你发现一块像奶酪一样颜色的大石头，不要到处乱跑，甚至不要打喷嚏!”我有点疑惑地环顾四周。 “这一定是地图上的那块石头，”我指着一块圆的、切达色的巨石说。 “它看起来很好吃!”我向前走了几步。 “但是这里没有什么可看的。 只是一些沙子。事实上，一大堆——”我没来得及说完。 我开始下沉了。“看着我!”我咯咯笑了。 “经典!看，沙子已经到我的脚踝了…… 不，我的膝盖!”

THEA'S EYES OPENED WIDE. SHE WAS NOT LAUGHING. "Geronimo! I have bad news for you!" she called. "Hmm? What bad news?" I asked, watching the funny sand. "Geronimo," my sister squeaked, "I think that's quicksand!" I gulped. "Thundering cattails! Quicksand?" I shrieked. "Help!" The sand had already reached my bellybutton. "Stop flapping your arms!" shouted Thea, holding her paw out. But I kept flapping and flapping. "Heeeeelp!" I shouted as the sand reached my ears. Trap raced over carrying a long green vine from a nearby tree. "Grab hold of this, Cousin, if you ever want to squeak again!" he cried.

西娅睁大了眼睛。她没有笑。 “Geronimo !我有坏消息要告诉你!”她喊道。 “嗯?什么坏消息?”我看着有趣的沙子问道。 “杰罗尼莫，”我姐姐尖叫道，“我想那是流沙!”我一饮而尽。 “雷鸣般的香蒲!流沙吗?”我尖叫起来。 “救命!”沙子已经到了我的肚脐。 “别拍胳膊了!”西娅喊道，伸出爪子。 但我不停地拍打着翅膀。 “Heeeeelp !”当沙子到达我的耳朵时，我喊道。 特拉普从附近的一棵树上拿着一根长长的绿色藤蔓跑了过来。 “抓住这个，表哥，如果你还想叫的话!”他叫道。
