04-YOU POOR CHEESEBRAIN!

You POOR CHEESEBRAIN! Ding..dong... The doorbell rang again. I went to open it, still wearing my helmet. It was my sister, Thea. She works as a special correspondent at The Rodent's Gazette. "What on earth are you wearing on your head?" she exclaimed. I touched my head. I guess I did look A LITTLE SILLY in the helmet. Still, my sister never missed a chance to make fun of me. It was probably her favorite hobby — after going on dates! "This helmet is going to make my fur grow thicker," I tried to explain.

你这个可怜的笨蛋!丁董…… 门铃又响了。我去开门，还戴着头盔。 是我妹妹西娅。她是《啮齿动物公报》的特约记者。 “你头上到底戴了什么?”她惊叫道。 我摸了摸我的头。我想我戴着头盔确实有点傻。 不过，我妹妹从不放过任何一个取笑我的机会。 这可能是她约会之后最喜欢的爱好!“这个头盔会让我的毛长得更厚，”我试图解释。

My sister just snickered. "The mouse on TV said it really works!" I insisted. Thea didn't seem convinced. In fact, she began to giggle, Just then, I remembered the phone call. I grabbed my sister's tail. "Listen, I've got the most unbelievable news!" I squeaked. "I just got a call from Professor von Volt. He said something about a YETI! You know, the hairy beast that is supposed to live in the Himalayas. Maybe he spotted one!" Now Thea was really rolling. Rolling with laughter, that is. She was roaring so hard she could barely squeak. "You poor CHEESEBRAIN" she finally choked out. "How did you get to be such a dimwit? First

我妹妹只是在窃笑。“电视上的老鼠说它真的有用!”我坚持。 西娅似乎并不相信。 事实上，她开始咯咯地笑起来。就在这时，我想起了那个电话。 我抓住妹妹的尾巴。 “听着，我有一个最不可思议的消息!”我发出“吱吱”的响声。 “我刚接到冯·沃特教授的电话。 他说了雪人的事!你知道的，那种据说生活在喜马拉雅山上的毛茸茸的野兽。 也许他发现了一只!”现在西娅真的很开心了。 哈哈大笑，就是这样。 她咆哮得太厉害了，几乎叫不出声来。 “你这个可怜的笨蛋!”她终于哽咽着说。 “你怎么变得这么笨?” 第一个

a helmet that makes your fur grow. Now a YETI. It's amazing that we are related!" I stamped my paw. "But I'm telling you, Thea, it was the professor. He said HIS LIFE WAS IN DANGER!" I shrieked. Thea shook her head. "Really, GERRY BERRY. Everyone knows the yeti is just some silly made-up monster," she sighed. "You need to get out more. You know, get your face out of your encyclopedia once in a while." She stroked her fur absentmindedly. Now I was getting mad. It was one thing to pick on me. But my encyclopedia was priceless! "Listen, Thea," I insisted. "If Professor von Volt really did find a YETI, it would be a great scoop for the paper. You

能让你长毛的头盔。 现在是雪人。我们是亲戚，真是太神奇了!”我跺了跺脚。 “但我告诉你，西娅，是教授干的。 他说他有生命危险!”我尖叫起来。 西娅摇了摇头。“真的，格里·贝里。” 每个人都知道雪人只是一些愚蠢的虚构怪物，”她叹息道。 “你需要多出去走走。 你知道，偶尔把你的脸从你的百科全书中拿出来。” 她心不在焉地抚摸着自己的皮毛。 现在我要发疯了。找我麻烦是一回事。 但是我的百科全书是无价的!“听着，西娅。”我坚持说。 “如果冯·沃特教授真的找到了雪人，那将是该报的一大独家新闻。 你

wouldn't want The Daily Rat to get it first, would you?" My sister rolled her eyes. "I'm telling you, someone is pulling your paw," she said. "Speaking of jokesters, have you seen our cousin Trap lately?" Just then, a familiar mouse strolled through my front door. Yes, it was the king of pranks himself, my annoying cousin Trap Stilton. "What's shakin', Cousinkins?" he grinned, jabbing me in the arm. "I heard my name and came scampering." iohlik. He danced over to

你总不想让《鼠日报》先得到吧?”我妹妹翻了个白眼。 “我告诉你，有人在拉你的爪子，”她说。 “说到爱开玩笑的人，你最近见到我们的表兄特拉普了吗?”就在这时，一只熟悉的老鼠从我的前门溜了进来。 没错，就是恶作剧之王，我讨厌的堂兄特拉普·斯蒂尔顿。 “你在抖什么，表哥们?”他咧嘴一笑，戳了戳我的胳膊。 “我听到我的名字，就蹦蹦跳跳地跑了过来。” 他跳过去

my fridge. Then he helped himself to a huge block of cheddar. There goes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, I fumed to myself. Thea giggle. "Tray!" she cried. "Did you just play a joke on Geronimo?"

我的冰箱。然后他给自己拿了一大块切达干酪。 早餐、午餐和晚餐都完了，我对自己生气地说。 西娅咯咯地笑了起来。“托盘!”她叫道。 “你刚才是不是跟杰罗尼莫开了个玩笑?”
