10-GONNNGGG! GONNNGGG!

GONNNGGG! GONNNGGG! We followed the strange mice back into the castle. "Everyone keep their tails low and don't make a squeak," I instructed the others. "Squeak!" whispered Thea, winking at me. Why, oh, why will no one ever listen to me? I thought in despair. Hiding in the shadows, we crept quietly after the hunchback as he slunk toward the kitchen. A huge soup pot sat on the stove. He stuck a wooden spoon into the pot and tried to stir the contents. The stuff looked as thick as my grouchy grandma Onewhisker's split-cheese soup. You could use that soup to glue down wallpaper!

GONNNGGG !GONNNGGG !我们跟着这些奇怪的老鼠回到了城堡。 “每个人都把尾巴放低，不要发出吱吱声，”我指示其他人。 “吱吱!”西娅小声说，向我眨了眨眼睛。 为什么，为什么没人听我的? 我绝望地想。我们躲在阴影里，蹑手蹑脚地跟着那个驼背朝厨房走去。 炉子上放着一个巨大的汤锅。 他把一把木勺插进锅里，试图搅动锅里的东西。 那东西看起来就像我那爱发牢骚的奶奶做的奶酪碎汤一样浓稠。 你可以用那汤来粘墙纸!

Eventually, the hunchback's spoon got stuck. "CREEPYCRAWLYCRABAPPLES!" shrieked the rodent. He began to pull on the spoon with all his might. There was a SUCKING sound, and out flew the spoon. It hit the wall and stuck there. The hunchback stared at the spoon, then snickered. He bounced over to a huge GONG and hit it with a big hammer. I peeked into the dining room. The count

最后，驼背的勺子卡住了。 “讨厌的山楂!”老鼠尖声叫道。 他开始使出全身力气拉勺子。 有一声吮吸的声音，勺子飞了出来。 它撞在墙上，卡在那里。 驼背盯着勺子，然后窃笑起来。 他跳到一个巨大的锣，用一个大锤子敲它。 我偷看了一下餐厅。 计数

and the young countess were sitting at opposite ends of a very long table. The hunchback carried two crystal goblets over to the table. Then he poured a THICK RED liquid into each one. I GULPED. I had a feeling this was no cherry berry punch. It looked just like blood! "How yummy!" said the young countess. She wiped her snout with a napkin, leaving DEEP RED SMUDGES. I shivered. The sight of BLOOD makes me faint.

年轻的伯爵夫人分别坐在一张长桌的两端。 驼背人端着两只水晶高脚杯走到桌边。 然后，他在每一个瓶子里倒了一种厚厚的红色液体。 我一饮而尽。我就觉得这不是樱桃莓味潘趣酒。 它看起来就像血!“真好吃!”年轻的伯爵夫人说。 她用餐巾擦了擦鼻子，留下了深红色的污迹。 我不禁打了个哆嗦。一看到血我就晕。
