05-THE ABOMINABLE SNOWRAT

THE ABOMINABLE SNOWRAT My cousin chuckled. "A joke? Which one? I've played so many Jokes on Geronimo, I've lost count," he declared. "After all, he's the perfect target. He always falls for it!" Thea nodded IMPATIENTLY. "Well, yes. But I'm talking about a new joke. Someone just called Geronimo and told him he has seen a YETI." Trap snickered under his whiskers. "A YETI?" he squeaked. "Um, interesting... you mean, one of those hairy beasts who live in the mountains?"

讨厌的雪我表妹咯咯地笑了。 “一个笑话?哪一个?我在Geronimo上开了太多的玩笑，我都数不清了。” “毕竟，他是完美的目标。 他总是信以为真!”西娅不耐烦地点了点头。 “嗯,是的。但我说的是一个新笑话。 刚才有人打电话给杰罗尼莫，告诉他他看到了雪人。” 特拉普在胡须下窃笑。 “雪人?”他尖声问道。“嗯,有趣的… 你是说，那种住在山里的毛茸茸的野兽吗?”

I nodded. "Cousinkins!" Trap shrieked. "I'll let you in on a secret. The YETI does not exist! It's all made up. Like the Abominable Snowrat. Just a story." For the first time, he seemed to notice the helmet on my head. "What's that thingy covering your peabrain? Are you playing spacemouse? You're a little old for dress-up, don't you think, GERMEISTER?"

我点了点头。“Cousinkins !”陷阱尖叫起来。 “我告诉你一个秘密。 雪人根本不存在!都是瞎编的。 就像可恶的雪鼠。 只是一个故事。”他似乎第一次注意到我头上的头盔。 “盖在你脑袋上的是什么东西?” 你在玩太空老鼠吗? 你穿这身衣服未免太老了，是不是，先生?”

"Well, I don't care who believes me!" I squeaked. "Professor von Volt needs my help. I'm going off to find him and the YETI. AT LEAST THIS MOUSE KNOWS THE TRUE VALUE OF FRILENDSHIP!" For once, my sister and Trap did not let out one squeak. Their jaws HIT THE GROUND. And do you know why? Because any mouse who knows me knows I hate traveling...

“好吧，我不在乎谁相信我!”我发出“吱吱”的响声。 “冯·沃特教授需要我的帮助。 我要去找他和雪人。 至少这只老鼠知道友谊的真正价值!”这一次，我妹妹和特拉普没有发出一丝声音。 他们的下巴碰到地面。 你知道为什么吗?因为认识我的老鼠都知道我讨厌旅行……
