05-MOUSE BONES AND RAT SKELETONS

MOUSE BONES AND RAT SKELETONS I left the room and scurried down the hall. Soon I came to a wooden door with a sign on it. It read: KITCHEN I went in. The place was huge. You could cook dinner for a hundred mice in this place. There was a huge wood-burning stove, pots

老鼠的骨头和老鼠的骨头我离开房间，匆匆穿过大厅。 不久，我来到一扇木门前，门上挂着一块牌子。 上面写着:厨房，我走了进去。 这个地方很大。在这里你可以为一百只老鼠做一顿饭。 有一个巨大的烧木头的炉子，还有一些锅

and pans of every size and shape, and a massive fridge. I opened a side door and found myself in a cellar. I spotted some cans of tuna fish, some dried meat, and a big block of SWISS CHEESE. It smelled delicious! So the castle was inhabited after all! But by whom? That was still a mystery. I crept back to the wood-burning stove, A huge copper pot hung inside the fireplace. It had a picture of a snarling cat engraved on it. I looked closer and noticed a strange white object lying inside the pot.

各种大小和形状的平底锅，还有一个巨大的冰箱。 我打开侧门，发现自己在一个地窖里。 我发现了一些金枪鱼罐头、一些肉干和一大块瑞士奶酪。 闻起来很香!这么说城堡里还是有人住的!但是谁呢? 这仍然是个谜。我蹑手蹑脚地回到烧木头的火炉旁，壁炉里挂着一个巨大的铜锅。 上面刻着一只咆哮的猫。 我凑近了看，发现锅里躺着一个奇怪的白色物体。

I picked it up to study it. "Sour cheese chunks!" It was a bone... a mouse bone! I flung the bone back into the pot Then I looked around, terrified. What was this place? I decided I didn't want to stick around to find out. I had to make a run for it before I ended up like that poor mouse in the pot! No fur, just bone! In a panic. I flung open the first door I saw. Behind it was a closet, I wish I could say I found a puffy chef's hat and matching apron in that closet. My uncle Hotpaw wears this silly apron at our annual family barbecues. It has a picture of a smiling mouse juggling kittens on it. But there was no apron in this closet. Instead, there was the...

我把它捡起来研究它。 “酸奶酪块!”那是一块骨头…… 一根老鼠骨头!我把骨头扔回锅里，然后我环顾四周，吓坏了。 这是什么地方?我决定我不想再呆在这里寻找答案了。 在我像锅里那只可怜的老鼠一样死去之前，我不得不逃跑!没有毛，只有骨头!在恐慌中。 我猛地打开我看到的第一扇门。 它后面是一个壁橱，我真希望我能说我在那个壁橱里找到了一顶蓬松的厨师帽和配套的围裙。 我叔叔Hotpaw在我们一年一度的家庭烧烤会上穿着这条愚蠢的围裙。 上面有一张照片，是一只微笑的老鼠在玩弄小猫。 但是衣橱里没有围裙。 相反，有……

...SKELETON OF A HUMONGOUS RAT! Oh, how I wished I was home!

…一只巨大老鼠的骨架!啊，我多么希望我是在家里啊!
