02-TROUBLE AT THE NIBBLER

TROUBLE AT THE NIBBLER I headed toward the SUBWAY. At the station, I ran into a friend of mine. His name is Benny Bluewhiskers, but most rodents call him the Big Cheese. That's because he knows everything there is to know about CHEESES — COLOR, size, shape, texture. He even invented Mouse Island's famous cheese measurer. And his nose is the most famous sniffer on all of Mouse Island. He can smell a cheese danish baking a mile away. What a schnoz! What a gift! As soon as he saw me, Benny frowned. "Some friend you are, Geronimo!" he cried. "How could you do that to me last night?"

小饭馆的麻烦我朝地铁走去。 在车站，我遇到了我的一个朋友。 它的名字是蓝胡子本尼，但大多数啮齿动物都叫它“大奶酪”。 那是因为他知道关于奶酪的一切——颜色、大小、形状、质地。 他甚至发明了老鼠岛著名的奶酪测量器。 他的鼻子是整个老鼠岛最著名的嗅探器。 他一英里外就能闻到丹麦奶酪的味道。 好大的鼻子!多么好的礼物啊!本尼一看到我，就皱起了眉头。 “你真是个好朋友，杰罗尼莫!”他喊道。 “你昨晚怎么能这样对我?”

I looked at him, confused. "Last night?" I repeated. What had I done last night? Oh, yes, I had spent the evening watching television. I am not usually a real TV mouse, but sometimes I like Tales of Rodents Past. Last night, I saw this episode about cave mice. It was fascinating. I started to tell Benny about the show, but he didn't seem interested. "Nice try, Geronimo," he SNorted. "But you weren't watching TV last night. You were making fun of me down at The Nibbler." Now I was really confused, The Nibbler is a popular diner in town. Sometimes we

我看着他，迷惑不解。 “昨晚?”我又说了一遍。我昨晚做了什么? 哦，是的，我整个晚上都在看电视。 我通常不是一个真正的电视老鼠，但有时我喜欢啮齿动物的故事。 昨晚，我看了一集关于洞穴老鼠的节目。 真是太迷人了。我开始跟本尼讲这个节目，但他似乎不感兴趣。 “好样的，杰罗尼莫。”他哼了一声。 “但你昨晚没看电视。 你刚才在小餐馆拿我开玩笑呢。” 现在我真的很困惑，Nibbler是镇上很受欢迎的餐馆。 有时我们

mice go there for coffee and to shoot the cheese. But I hadn't been there in months. "I know I'm not the thinnest rodent in town, but you didn't have to call me a furry whale with a tail!" Benny shrieked. "You really hurt my feelings, Geronimo. After all these years, I thought we were friends." I looked at him in shock. Cheese niblets! "But I wasn't at The Nibbler last night," I tried to explain. That seemed to make Benny even madder. "So now you're calling me a liar!" he squeaked. "Well, that's it! No more free cheese for you! And you can forget my holiday cheddar log this year, too!" I didn't know what to say. My head was spinning faster than the cyclone at the Mouseyland Amusement Park. Un-be-liev-a-ble!

老鼠去那里喝咖啡和打奶酪。 但我已经好几个月没去了。 “我知道我不是镇上最瘦的啮齿动物，但你没必要叫我长着尾巴的毛茸茸的鲸鱼!”本尼尖叫起来。 “你真的伤害了我的感情，杰罗尼莫。 这么多年过去了，我还以为我们是朋友呢。” 我震惊地看着他。奶酪的玉米!“但我昨晚没在小餐馆。”我试图解释。 这似乎让本尼更生气了。 “现在你说我是骗子了!”他尖声说。 “好吧，就是这样!”你再也没有免费的奶酪了!你也可以忘记我今年的假日切达干酪日志!”我不知道该说什么。 我的头转得比老鼠乐园里的旋风还快。 Un-be-liev-a-ble !
