05-DOWN THE TOILET!

DOWN THE TOILET! I decided I needed to get some air. I left the office. I bought a magazine at the newsstand. It was one of those mouse-hole improvement guides. AND THAT'S WHEN I SAW IT. It was an ad for a toilet called the Flusher Rat. But it wasn't the toilet that caught my eye, It was the rodent standing next to the toilet. IT WAS ME! That's right, yours truly, geronimo stilton, in the fur! In the picture, I was pointing to the toilet and grinning like I'd just won the Mouse Lotto. My heart began beating wildly. What was going on? What was my picture doing in a magazine? I looked closely at the ad. "My name is

下厕所!我决定出去透透气。 我离开了办公室。我在报摊上买了一本杂志。 这是一本老鼠洞改善指南。 就在那时我看到了它。这是一个叫“冲水鼠”的马桶广告。 但引起我注意的不是马桶，而是站在马桶旁边的那只老鼠。 是我!没错，亲爱的杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿，穿皮草的!在照片中，我指着马桶，笑得像刚中了彩票一样。 我的心开始狂跳。 发生了什么事?我的照片怎么会出现在杂志上? 我仔细看了看广告。 “我的名字是……

In fact, I've had some of the best ideas for my books right here on the Flusher Rat!" I cringed. Even my whiskers were blushing. How embarrassing! I sat down on the curb to think. Just then, a truck rolled by. I glanced up. Plastered to the side of the truck was a huge color poster. I squeaked. It was another picture of me and the Flusher Rat! There were posters of me and that rotten toilet stuck up all over the city! FLUSHER RAT for the sophisticated mouse the posters read. I couldn't believe it. I was famouse. Famouse for going to the bathroom! I was

斯蒂尔顿，杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿!” “我是一只老练的啮齿动物，我想把我的老鼠洞弄得最好。 所以我才有个冲水鼠。 没有其他的厕所像它一样!事实上，我的书里有几个最好的点子就是在这里的冲水鼠身上!”这话让我觉得厌烦。 连我的胡子都红了。 多尴尬啊!我坐在路边想了想。 就在这时，一辆卡车开了过来。 我抬起头来。卡车的侧面贴着一张巨大的彩色海报。 我发出“吱吱”的响声。又是一张我和冲水鼠的照片!整个城市都贴满了我和那个烂马桶的海报!海报上写着:“冲洗老鼠”是指老练的老鼠。 我简直不敢相信。我很出名。 因为上厕所而出名!我是

so upset. I felt used. I felt cheap. My life was going straight down the toilet! Un-be-liev-a-ble!

很沮丧。我觉得自己被利用了。我觉得自己很卑鄙。 我的生活就这样完蛋了!Un-be-liev-a-ble !
