22-LULLABY FOR A SICK YETI

LULLABY FOR A SICK YETI I RAN to the professor's rescue. "Don't worry, Professor! I'm here to save you!" I squeaked. Yes, I, geronimo stilton, would fight those big, hairy yetis until the finish! And I would do it all for my dear friend Professor von Volt! The professor just stared at me, He seemed confused. At last he smiled. "It's OK, Geronimo," he squeaked. "I'm not the one in danger." I blinked. Now I was the one to look confused. What was going on? Hadn't the professor sent for me because he was in

给生病的雪人的摇篮曲我跑去救教授。 “别担心，教授!”我是来救你的!”我发出“吱吱”的响声。 是的，我，杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿，会和那些毛茸茸的大雪人战斗到最后!我愿意为我亲爱的朋友冯·沃特教授做这一切!教授只是盯着我，他似乎很困惑。 最后他笑了。“没事的，杰罗尼莫。”他尖声说。 “有危险的不是我。” 我眨了眨眼睛。现在我是那个看起来很困惑的人。 发生了什么事?教授不是叫我来的吗，因为他在家

danger? Isn't that why I had just traveled all the way to ICY COLD Mouse Everest? Just then, I saw the professor was holding A GLASS BOLLE of green LIQUID in his paw. He poured some of the liquid into a spoon made of bone. Then he fed it to the young yeti. "Drink your medicine, little one," he murmured, "Soon you'll be as strong as your dad and as beautiful as your mom." The cub made a face. Bleaaahhh!!!" he cried, shaking his head. But eventually he gulped down the liquid. Then he closed his eyes and curled up snugly in the snow.

危险吗?这不就是我大老远跑到冰冷老鼠珠峰的原因吗? 就在这时，我看见教授的爪子里拿着一个绿色液体的玻璃球。 他把一些液体倒进骨头做的勺子里。 然后他把它喂给了小雪人。 “把你的药喝了，小家伙，”他低声说，“很快你就会像你爸爸一样强壮，像你妈妈一样美丽。” 幼崽做了个鬼脸。他摇着头叫道。 但最后他还是一口吞下了液体。 然后他闭上眼睛，舒舒服服地蜷缩在雪地里。

His mother stroked his fur as she sang a tune. It sounded like a lullaby. Soon, the cub was snoring away. Professor von Volt pulled me aside. "I believe I owe you an explanation, Geronimo," he whispered. "You see, I am not the one in DANGER," he began. "This baby yeti is. He is very ill. I sent his father in search of you. That's why you're the only one who saw him. I hope he didn't fluster you too much. He's huge, but he's quite mild-mannered.“ I stared at the enormous hairy creature. No. the father yeti hadn't flustered me. He had scared me half to death! He had knocked ten years off my natural

他的母亲边唱边抚摸着他的皮毛。 听起来像摇篮曲。 很快，幼崽就鼾声四起。 冯·沃特教授把我拉到一边。 “我想我欠你一个解释，杰罗尼莫。”他低声说。 “你看，有危险的不是我，”他开始说。 “这个雪人宝宝是。他病得很重。 我派他父亲去找你了。 所以只有你一个人见过他。 我希望他没有让你太慌张。 他很高大，但他很温和。我盯着这个毛茸茸的庞然大物。 不。雪人父亲并没有让我慌张。 他把我吓得半死!他使我年轻了十岁

mouse lifespan! But I didn't want to make the professor feel bad. "Oh, no, I thought the YETI seemed quite friendly," I lied. Professor von Volt smiled and continued his tale. "As I was building my secret lab in this cave, I discovered a family of yetis," he explained. "You see, dear Geronimo, many thousands of years ago, the Himalayan mountains were populated by tribes of yetis. The yetis are HERBIVORES, which means they do not eat meat. They wouldn't hurt a fly! Then, gradually. almost all of the yetis were wiped out by a mysterious illness."

老鼠的寿命!但我不想让教授难过。 “哦，不，我觉得雪人看起来很友好，”我撒了个谎。 冯·伏特教授笑了笑，继续讲他的故事。 “当我在这个洞穴里建造我的秘密实验室时，我发现了一个雪人家族，”他解释说。 “你看，亲爱的杰罗尼莫，几千年前，喜马拉雅山脉上住着雪人部落。 雪人是食草动物，也就是说它们不吃肉。 他们连一只苍蝇都不会伤害!然后,慢慢地。 几乎所有的雪人都死于一种神秘的疾病。”
