07-GERONIMO! QUIT THE HYSTERICS!

GERONIMO! QUIT THE HYSTERICS! I bolted down the hall and flew out the front door. "HEEEEEEELP!" I squeaked into the dark, rainy night. But of course, no one answered. How could they? There wasn't a paw or tail in sight. I was alone. Yes, all alone in the spooky Dark Forest, Oh, how I wished I was home! I SHIVERED. My whiskers were getting soaked. Now what? Before I could come up with a plan, my cell phone rang. It was working again! It played classical music. For a minute, I let myself enjoy the soothing sounds of Ratwig van Beethoven. What an amazing composer. Then I remembered where I was and what I

GERONIMO !别歇斯底里了!我飞快地穿过大厅，飞出了前门。 “HEEEEEEELP !”我尖叫着走进漆黑的雨夜。 当然，没有人回答。 他们怎么可能呢?看不见爪子和尾巴。 我独自一人。是的，独自一人在阴森的黑森林里，啊，我多么希望我能回家啊!我不禁打了个哆嗦。 我的胡子都湿透了。 现在怎么办呢?我还没来得及想出一个计划，我的手机响了。 它又开始工作了!它播放古典音乐。 有那么一分钟，我让自己享受拉特维格·范·贝多芬舒缓的声音。 真是个了不起的作曲家。然后我想起我在哪里，我

had just seen in the castle. "Poisonous cheese puffs!" I shrieked into the phone. "Who is it? You've got to help me!" It was my sister, Thea. "Geronimo? Where are you? What's going on?" she asked calmly. I was back in full panic mode. "The b-bone; I mean, the c-castle; ahem, the kitchen; that is, the skeleton and the armor, too, all because of the fog. And I saw a light at the window, but there's n-n-no one here," I stammered, "Holey cheese, I'm scared. Come and save me!!!!!" My sister sighed. She is the exact opposite of me. That mouse would stay calm even if she got stuck in a tornado and touched down at the Catwalk Seaside

刚才在城堡里看到的。 “有毒的奶酪泡芙!”我对着电话尖叫。 “是谁?”你一定要帮帮我!”是我妹妹西娅。 “Geronimo ?你在哪里?发生什么事了?”她平静地问。 我又回到了恐慌状态。 “b-bone;我是说，c城堡;嗯哼，厨房;也就是说，骨架和盔甲，都是因为雾。 我看到窗户上有灯光，但这里没有人，”我结结巴巴地说，“霍利奶酪，我害怕。 快来救我!!!!!”姐姐叹了口气。 她和我完全相反。 那只老鼠即使被困在龙卷风中，降落在卡特沃克海滨，也会保持冷静

Resort! "Geronimo! Quit the hysterics!" she ordered in her no-nonsense voice. "Now, tell me exactly where you are." I stared into the dark night. "Um, I don't know, I'm somewhere in the Dark Forest," I began. "I passed Sadsack Point, but I got lost. Then my car broke down, and I found this castle. It's empty, but..." My sister snorted. "Why are you getting your whiskers in a twist. then?" she scolded. "If you are at a castle, just pick a room and hit the sack. Tomorrow morning you can find the main road and go home. Cheese niblets! You really make a mountain out of a mousehill sometimes!" I peered back at the castle. "But I don't want to sleep here!" I whined. "The castle is empty! It's too scary! And it's MUCH TOO DARK!" Of course, my sister had an answer for

度假胜地!“Geronimo !别歇斯底里了!”她用严肃的声音命令道。 “现在，告诉我你到底在哪里。” 我凝视着黑夜。 “嗯，我不知道，我在黑森林的某个地方。” “我经过了萨萨克点，但是我迷路了。 然后我的车坏了，我发现了这座城堡。 它是空的，但是……”我妹妹哼了一声。 “你为什么把胡子弄成一团呢?” 然后呢?”她责备道。“如果你在城堡里，就选个房间睡觉。 明天早上你就可以找到大路回家了。 奶酪的玉米!有时候你真是小题大做!”我回头看了看城堡。 “可我不想睡在这儿!”我颇有微词。 “城堡是空的!”太吓人了!而且太黑了!”当然，我姐姐有一个答案

everything. She pointed out that I would not need light since I was going to sleep anyway. Then she called me a 'fraidy mouse. I was insulted. But I was too afraid to say so. "Is there anything there to eat?" my sister asked. I told her about the cheese I had found in the kitchen. "That's great! What more do you want?" she demanded. "You're at a castle and you have cheese!" I reminded her about the mouse bone in the kitchen. fclnef. Not to mention that hideous rat skeleton hanging in the closet.

一切。她指出我不需要光，反正我也要睡觉了。 然后她叫我“胆小的老鼠”。 我被侮辱了。但我太害怕了，不敢说出来。 “那里有什么吃的吗?”姐姐问。 我告诉她我在厨房里找到的奶酪。 “太好了!你还想要什么?”她问。 “你在城堡里，你有奶酪!”我提醒她厨房里的老鼠骨头。 更别提挂在壁橱里的那具丑陋的老鼠骨架了。

"Oh, brother, you've got one active imagination," she scoffed. "Bones, skeletons. Maybe you should try cleaning your glasses. Or maybe you should have a little chat with Dr. Shrinkfur. I think you're seeing things!" I heard the splashing of water. Thea must have been taking her nightly bath. Oh, how I wished I was home in my own bathtub! I could be relaxing in lots of bubbles. I could be playing with my squeaky-cheese bath toy. Suddenly, a noise interrupted my happy thoughts. It was coming from the big hall inside the castle. "Listen, Thea," I whispered. "You won't believe this. But I've just seen a ghost!" My sister coughed. "A GHOST? You mean a real GHOST?" she squeaked. "Yes, it was a real ghost," I repeated. Thea was silent. I knew she was trying to decide if I

“哦，兄弟，你的想象力可真丰富，”她嘲笑道。 “骨骼,骨骼。也许你应该试着清洗一下你的眼镜。 或者你应该找那个医生谈谈。 Shrinkfur。我觉得你有幻觉!”我听到水花飞溅的声音。 西娅一定是晚上洗了澡。 哦，我多么希望我是在家里自己的浴缸里!我可以在很多泡泡里放松。 我可能在玩我的吱吱奶酪洗澡玩具。 突然，一个声音打断了我愉快的想法。 声音是从城堡里的大厅里传来的。 “听着，西娅。”我低声说。 “你不会相信的。可我刚才看见鬼了!”我妹妹咳嗽了。 “一个幽灵?你是说一个真正的幽灵?”她尖声问道。 “是的，那是一个真正的鬼，”我重复道。 西娅沉默了。我知道她想决定我是否

was telling the truth. I don't know why my family never believes me. I mean, I am a newspaper mouse. I tell it the way I see it. "Listen, Thea. I know a ghost when I see one," I insisted. "And this was a real honest-to-goodmouse ghost!" I heard a loud splashing sound. It sounded like my sister was getting out of the tub, Seconds later, she came back on the line. "Well, why didn't you tell me about this ghosty guy in the first place? WHAT A CHEESEBRAIN!" she shrieked. squeak was earsplitting! "This could be a great ghost scoop. I'M ON MY WAY!" Thea cried. "I'll take pictures. The paper will sell like hot cheesecakes! Bye!" She slammed down the receiver. I was left listening to the dial tone.

他说的是实话。我不知道为什么我的家人从不相信我。 我是说，我是一个报纸老鼠。 我是这么看的。 “听着,西娅。我一看见鬼就知道是鬼，”我坚持说。 “这是一个真正的老实的好老鼠鬼!”我听到一声响亮的水花声。 听起来像是我妹妹要从浴缸里出来，几秒钟后，她又回到了电话里。 “那你为什么不一开始就告诉我这个鬼家伙的事呢?” 真是个笨蛋!”她尖叫道。 吱吱声震耳欲聋!“这可能是一条很棒的鬼新闻。 我在路上了!”西娅哭了。 “我会拍照的。报纸会大卖的!再见!”她砰地一声放下听筒。 我只能听着拨号音。
