28-THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!

THIS Is ALL YOUR FAULT!! We got to work immediately. First, we wrote up a new contract. In this one, Sally gave The Rodent's Gazette back to me. Then Trap called every TV station in New Mouse City. Reporters came by the dozens. Dressed as Sally, my cousin made these announcements:

这都是你的错!!我们马上开始工作。 首先，我们起草了一份新合同。 这一次，莎莉把《啮齿动物公报》还给了我。 然后，特拉普打电话给新老鼠城的每一家电视台。 几十名记者蜂拥而至。 我表姐打扮成莎莉，宣布了这些消息:

1. The Rodent's Gazette will be returned to Geronimo Stilton. 2. The Daily Rat will sponsor a contest for new writers. All stories will be read by Geronimo Stilton. Each month, he will award a prize to the best new talent. The prize will be paid for by The Daily Rat. 3. The Daily Rat will triple the salary of all of its employees. It will also send its employees on a first-class vacation to the Mousehamas.

1. 《啮齿动物公报》会还给杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿。 2. 《每日老鼠》将赞助一场新作家竞赛。 所有的故事都将由杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿朗读。 每个月，他都会给最优秀的新人颁奖。 奖金将由《每日老鼠报》支付。 3. 《每日老鼠》将把所有员工的工资提高三倍。 该公司还将为员工提供前往哈马斯的一流假期。

I grinned. The Mousehamas was my idea. Sally didn't believe in vacations. Her workers needed some fun in the sun! When the reporters left, Trap called the secretary. "Call the most expensive cheese shop in towns" he ordered. "I'm throwing a party for all of the rodents who work here. Right now! At once! immediately!" The secretary gasped. "Are y-y-you f-f-f-feeling OK, Ms. Ratmousen?" she stammered. Trap pounded the desk with his paw. "Of

我咧嘴笑了笑。哈马斯是我的主意。 莎莉不赞成休假。 她的工人们需要一些阳光下的乐趣!记者离开后，特拉普打电话给秘书。 “给镇上最贵的奶酪店打电话。”他命令道。 “我要为在这里工作的所有啮齿动物开一个派对。 现在!在一次!立即!”秘书倒吸了一口气。 “你——你——你——你——还好吗?” 鼠鼠?”她结结巴巴地说。 特拉普用爪子敲打着桌子。 ”

course I'm feeling OK, you fool!" he squeaked. "Call that cheese shop right now! At once! immediately!" Five minutes later, the food arrived. A huge table was set up in the courtyard outside. Soon, the party was going strong. Suddenly, I heard a noise. It was a bird. It was plane. No, it was an army tank! That's right, an army tank driven by the real sally Ratmousem! She

我当然没事，你这个傻瓜!”他尖声说。 “马上给那家奶酪店打电话!”在一次!立即!”五分钟后，上菜了。 外面的院子里摆了一张大桌子。 很快，聚会就热闹起来。 突然，我听到一个声音。 那是一只鸟。它是飞机。 不，那是一辆军用坦克!没错，一辆由真正的萨利·拉特穆森驾驶的军用坦克!她

was so mad that steam was rising from her fur. We hid under a table. Sally climbed out of the tank. Reporters crowded around her. They began firing questions. Sally barely had time to squeak. "Ms. Ratmousen, why have you given The Rodent's Gazette back to Stilton?" asked one reporter. Sally went pale. "Ms, Ratmousen, why are you throwing this expensive party?" asked another, Sally's left eye began to twitch. Meanwhile, the employees of The Daily Rat were busy dancing their paws off. They waved and cheered at Sally. "Thank you for the raise! Thank you for the vacation! Thank you for the party, Boss!" they cried. Sally stamped her paw. She looked as if she

气得毛都冒出来了。 我们躲在桌子下面。莎莉爬出了水箱。 记者们把她团团围住。 他们开始发问。 莎莉几乎没有时间发出吱吱声。 “Ratmousen女士，你为什么把《啮齿动物公报》还给斯蒂尔顿?”一位记者问道。 莎莉脸色苍白。“鼠鼠小姐，你为什么要开这么昂贵的派对?”另一个人问道，莎莉的左眼开始抽动。 与此同时，《老鼠日报》的员工们正忙着跳起舞来。 他们向萨莉挥手欢呼。 “谢谢你给我加薪!”谢谢你的假期!谢谢你的聚会，老板!”他们喊道。 莎莉跺着爪子。她看起来好像

were ready to burst. "Raise? Vacation? Party?" she thundered. "Have you all gone crazy?" Just then, a very familiar-looking pair of ears and whiskers peeped out of the tank. It was me—I mean, it was my lookalike, SydNey StarFUT! Sally pushed him back in with her paw. "This is all your fault, StarFUT!" she shrieked. "I knew you didn't look enough like Geronimo Stilton!"

我们都要炸了。“提高? 假期怎么样?聚会?”她怒吼道。 “你们都疯了吗?”就在这时，一对非常熟悉的耳朵和胡须从水箱里探了出来。 那是我，我是说，它长得很像我，西德尼·斯塔福!莎莉用爪子把它推了回去。 “这都是你的错，斯塔福!” "我就知道你长得不够像杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿"
