04-NO SHOTS, PLEASE!

No SHOTS, PLEASE! Thea called again the next day. She was at the office, even though it was a Sunday. "Geronimo! How are you?" she asked. "Well, um, I've got a cold," I murmured. I pretended to SNEEZE. AHH CHOO! There was silence on the other end. Could my sister tell I was faking? "Well, don't worry," she finally squeaked. "We'll just run you right over to Dr. Goodpaws. He'll give you something to get rid of your cold. Maybe a couple of shots will do the trick!" My eyes nearly popped out of my fur. "Nooooooooo!" I shrieked in terror. "No shots, please! I'm already feeling much better. I just need to relax at home for a few more days. You know, unwind."

请不要打针!西娅第二天又打来电话。 她在办公室，尽管那天是星期天。 “Geronimo !你好吗?”她问。 “嗯，嗯，我感冒了，”我低声说。 我假装打喷嚏。啊秋!电话那头一片沉默。 我姐姐能看出我在装吗? “好吧，别担心。”她终于尖声说。 “我们马上送你去看医生。 Goodpaws。他会给你一些治感冒的药。 也许几杯就可以了!”我的眼睛都快跳出来了。 “Nooooooooo !”我惊恐地尖叫起来。 “请不要开枪!”我已经感觉好多了。 我只是需要在家多休息几天。 你知道，放松。”

More silence from the other end. Uh-oh. My sister wasn't buying it. "So I heard you went to see Dr. Shrinkfur," she murmured at last. "Do you have a problem, Geronimo?" I heard another voice in the background. "Geronimo has a problem? Maybe he should get his snout out of those books. That mouse is too brainy for his own good!" I groaned. It was my annoying cousin Trap. He runs a thrift store called Cheap Junk for less. He tells the worst jokes. And he loves to play tricks on me. Then I heard another, smaller voice. "What's the matter with Uncle Geronimo? Can I say hello to him?" it SQUeakeD. I smiled. It was my favorite nephew, Benjamin. The next thing I knew, my sister had put me on squeakerphone. "Go ahead, tell us

另一端又是沉默。 哦。我妹妹并不买账。 “我听说你去看医生了。 Shrinkfur，”她终于喃喃地说。 “你有什么问题吗，杰罗尼莫?”我听到另一个声音在背景中。 “Geronimo有问题吗?”也许他该把他的鼻子从书里挪开。 那只老鼠太聪明了，对它自己没有好处!”我呻吟着。 是我那讨厌的表兄特拉普。 他开了一家叫“廉价垃圾”的旧货店。 他讲最糟糕的笑话。他喜欢捉弄我。 然后我听到另一个声音，声音更小。 “杰罗尼莫舅舅怎么了?” 我能跟他打个招呼吗?”它吱吱地问。 我笑了笑。是我最喜欢的侄子本杰明。 接下来我所知道的就是，我姐姐把我的手机调成了静音电话。 “说吧，告诉我们

everything, Geronimo!" she demanded. I chewed my whiskers." Well, I went to see Dr. Shrinkfur because I sort of have a little problem..." I began. When I was done talking, Trap was the first to pipe up. "So what did Dr. Shrinky Dink tell you to do?" he asked. I told him about the doctor's advice. If I wanted to get rid of my ears, I had to face them... only, I was too afraid to start!

一切，杰罗尼莫!”她要求道。 我咬了我的胡子。”嗯，我去看了医生。 因为我有点小问题……” 我开始。我说完话后，特拉普第一个插嘴。 “那么，丁克医生让你怎么做的?”他问。 我把医生的建议告诉了他。 如果我想摆脱我的耳朵，我必须面对它们…… 只是，我太害怕了，不敢开始!
