20-THREE SKULLS

THREE SKULLS In front of us lay a narrow path made of stones. Each stone had a letter engraved on it. Thea read aloud the message on the map. "A DANGEROUS TRAP LIES AHEAD. BE OH SO CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD. SOLVE THIS RIDDLE AND YOU'LL SEE, THE RIGHT STONES WILL SET YOU FREE. FOR LUNCH OR A SNACK IT IS DELICIOUS. WITH LOTS OF HOLES IT'S QUITE NUTRITIOUS. WHITE OR YELLOW, SHARP OR MELLOW, LEAVE SOME FOR OTHERS, BE A GOOD FELLOW!"

在我们面前有一条狭窄的石头小道。 每块石头上都刻着一个字母。 西娅大声读出地图上的信息。 “前方有一个危险的陷阱。 小心你的脚步。 解开这个谜，你就会明白，正确的石头会让你自由。 作为午餐或零食都很美味。 有很多洞，很有营养。 白的或黄的，尖的或醇的，留一些给别人，做个好人!”

I reread the riddle several times. My cousin tapped his paw impatiently. "Well, Mr. Newspaper Mouse, you work with words. what does it mean?" he asked. His paw kept tapping faster and faster. "Well, come on, what are you waiting for? We don't have all day, you know." Trying to ignore my cousin, I stared at the riddle. The answer was right on the tip of my tongue. What has lots of holes? What is white or yellow and delicious? Suddenly, I clapped my paws together. "It's cheese!" I shrieked with glee. "You must jump on the letters spelling out the word CHEESE!" Before we could stop him, Trap hopped onto the stone engraved with the letter C. Then he hopped on the H, then the E, and then the S.

我把这个谜语重读了好几遍。 我表哥不耐烦地拍了拍爪子。 “嗯，报纸老鼠先生，你的工作是文字。 这是什么意思?”他问。 他的爪子不停地拍打，越来越快。 “好吧，来吧，你还在等什么?” 你知道，我们没有一整天的时间。” 我试着不去理睬我的表妹，盯着谜语看。 答案就在我嘴边。 什么东西有很多洞?什么东西是白的或黄的而且好吃? 突然，我把爪子拍在一起。 “这是奶酪!”我高兴得尖叫起来。 “你必须跳到拼出CHEESE这个单词的字母上!”我们还没来得及阻止他，特拉普就跳上了刻着字母C的石头。 然后他跳上H，然后是E，然后是S。

"Look out!" the rest of us screamed. Spelling has never been one of my cousin's strong points. Of course, there are two E's in the middle of CHEESE! The minute Trap set his paw on the wrong stone it gave way, and down he went. I peered into the hole. It was... very deep! A foul-smelling odor rose from it. Wait a minute. I could just make out something at the bottom. nkledc. Uh-oh. I was looking at a bunch of bones!

“小心!”我们其他人尖叫道。 拼写从来不是我表弟的强项。 当然，CHEESE的中间有两个E!特拉普的爪子一碰到错误的石头，石头就掉了下来，他也掉了下去。 我往洞里看了看。这是…… 非常深!一股恶臭从里面冒了出来。 等一下。我只能分辨出底部有什么。 哦。我看到的是一堆骨头!
