03-ALL IN THIRTY SECONDS FLAT!

ALL IN THIRTY SECONDS FLAT! The next day, I made a decision. It was time to get off my tail. I couldn't stay inside forever. I took a deep breath and forced myself to leave the house. I took the stairs. No, I wasn't ready for the elevator yet. (I was too AFRALD of closed spaces.) Then I opened the front door and stuck my snout outside. It was so noisy! I could barely hear myself think. Car horns blared. Delivery trucks rumbled down the street. Had it always been this loud? Carefully, I set a paw on the pavement. Nothing happened. I was so relieved. I DID IT! I REALLY DID IT! Why was I so afraid to go out? It's no big

在30秒内完成!第二天，我做了一个决定。 是时候摆脱我的纠缠了。 我不能永远呆在里面。 我深吸了一口气，强迫自己离开了房子。 我走楼梯。不，我还没准备好坐电梯。 (我太害怕封闭的空间了。)然后我打开前门，把鼻子伸到外面。 太吵了!我几乎听不见自己在想什么。 汽车喇叭响了。送货卡车隆隆地驶过街道。 一直都这么吵吗? 我小心翼翼地把一只爪子放在人行道上。 什么也没有发生。我如释重负。 我做到了!我真的做到了!为什么我那么害怕出门? 没什么大不了的

deal. At last, things were starting to look up. I walked to the newsstand to buy a paper. I had hardly opened it when... A flowerpot fell from a window ledge, hitting me on the head. Stumbling, I crashed right into a lamppost. Then I tripped on a mouse hole cover. I fell and bashed my snout on the hard pavement.

交易。最后，情况开始好转。 我走到报摊去买一份报纸。 我刚打开就…… 一个花盆从窗台上掉下来，砸在我的头上。 我踉跄着撞上了路灯柱。 然后我被一个老鼠洞的盖子绊倒了。 我跌倒了，鼻子撞在坚硬的人行道上。

As I was getting up, a taxi ran over my tail. Then a pigeon decided to poop on my nose. And it all happened in thirty seconds flat! "Hneeeeeeeeeelp!" I shrieked in a panic. I immediately scampered back home. "See, I was right all along!" I squeaked out loud. "Going out is DANGEROUS BUSINESS! From now on, I'm staying put!" I locked the door. It took a little while. I had added five extra dead bolts. You can never be too safe.

当我起床时，一辆出租车从我的尾巴上碾过。 然后一只鸽子决定在我鼻子上大便。 这一切都发生在30秒内!“Hneeeeeeeeeelp !”我惊恐地尖叫起来。 我立刻跑回了家。 “瞧，我一直都是对的!”我大声尖叫起来。 “出门是件危险的事!”从现在开始，我要待在原地!”我把门锁上了。 花了一点时间。我又加了五个固定螺栓。 你永远不会太安全。
