22-SMALL, BUT NASTY!!!

SMALL BUT NASTY!!! Finally, they all left. I sat on the bed, thinking. What was going on? Was I just having nightmares, like Trap insisted? Or did I actually see a ghost, a mummy, and now a witch? I was starting to feel like I was losing my mind! To cheer myself up, I started chanting again: "EVERYTHING'S UNDER CONTROL! EUERVTHING'S UNDER CONTROL!" But this time, I didn't feel any better. Oh, how I wished I was home! Suddenly, a gray owl flew into the room through the open window. It perched on the edge of the fireplace. The owl opened its beak. "Hey you, cheddarface!" it croaked.

小而恶心!!最后，他们都离开了。 我坐在床上，沉思着。 发生了什么事?我只是像特拉普说的那样做了噩梦吗? 还是我真的看到了鬼魂，木乃伊，现在又看到了女巫? 我开始觉得我快要疯了!为了让自己振作起来，我又开始念叨:“一切尽在掌握之中!”一切都在控制之中!”但这一次，我并没有感觉好一点。 啊，我多么希望我是在家里啊!突然，一只灰色的猫头鹰从开着的窗户飞进了房间。 它停在壁炉边上。 猫头鹰张开嘴。“嘿，你这个笨蛋!”它嘶哑地说。

My jaw dropped. Then the owl began to sing: "I may be small, But don't cross me. One wrong move And you're history!" It left in a WHIRL of feathers. As the owl flew away, I heard a mechanical sound. tick tack tick tack. How very strange, I thought. I wanted to tell someone. Whoever heard of a talking owl? And not just any talking owl. This was one nasty talking owl! I opened my mouth to yell for help. Then I snapped it shut. Why bother? No one would believe me anyway. They'd call

我的下巴掉了下来。然后猫头鹰开始唱歌:“我可能很小，但不要惹我。 走错一步，你就完了!”它在羽毛的漩涡中离开了。 猫头鹰飞走的时候，我听到一种机械的声音。 嘀嗒嘀嗒。多么奇怪啊，我想。 我想告诉别人。谁听说过会说话的猫头鹰? 而且不是随便什么会说话的猫头鹰。 这是一只讨厌的会说话的猫头鹰!我张开嘴想求救。 然后我啪的一声关上了。何苦呢? 反正没人会相信我。 他们会叫

me a cheesebrain. They'd call me a mad mouse. They'd call me for advice and do the exact opposite of whatever I said. No, no one would believe me. Well, no one except Benjamin. I scrambled out of bed. Then I raced out of the room in search of my dear, sweet nephew.

我是个笨蛋。他们会叫我疯老鼠。 他们会打电话给我征求意见，然后和我说的完全相反。 不，没人会相信我的。 除了本杰明没人。 我爬下床。然后我冲出房间去寻找我亲爱的、可爱的侄子。
