25-PIZZAS GALORE!

PIZZAS GALORE! Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong The clock was chiming. I counted. Twelve chimes. It was already midnight again! I sniffed the air. What was that awful smell? Thick smoke was coming from the kitchen! I waved frantically to my cousin. He got the message, kissed Snobella's paw, and was gone. "Where did he go? He just disappeared! That rodent is so mysterious!" gossiped the guests. In the kitchen, my cousin was busy yanking open the oven. Clouds of black smoke filled the room. "Well, this is just

大量的披萨!咚咚，咚咚，咚咚。 我数了数,十二次。又到了午夜了!我嗅了嗅空气。 那股难闻的味道是什么? 厨房里冒出了浓烟!我疯狂地向表妹挥手。 他明白了，吻了吻斯诺贝拉的爪子，就走了。 “他去哪儿了?”他就这么消失了!那只啮齿动物真神秘!”客人们议论纷纷。 在厨房里，表妹正忙着猛拉烤箱。 房间里充满了黑烟。 “嗯，这是公正的

great!" Trap shrieked. For some reason, he seemed to be glaring at me. "I should have known I couldn't trust you, Geronimo!" he squeaked. "The bloodsucker pie is burned because you didn't get me in time. The piranha soup is ruined because you let me drop it on the floor. Even my special dessert is a disaster, thanks to you, Geronimo!" He pointed to a small empty cage. "You even let the dragonflies fly away!" he yelled. I was furious. I was not about to take the blame for this one. I had to stand up for myself. "What are you talking about?" I started. "What has your menu got to do with me?"

太好了!”陷阱尖叫起来。出于某种原因，他似乎在瞪着我。 “我早该知道我不能相信你，杰罗尼莫!”他尖声说。 “吸血鬼派烧糊了，因为你没有及时抓住我。 食人鱼汤毁了，因为你让我把它掉在地上了。 就连我的特别甜点都是一场灾难，多亏了你，杰罗尼莫!”他指着一个空的小笼子。 “你甚至让蜻蜓飞走了!”他喊道。 我气坏了。我不想为这件事背黑锅。 我必须为自己辩护。 “你在说什么?”我开始。 “你的菜单跟我有什么关系?”

But Trap wasn't listening. "Geronimo didn't mess up the whole meal though, right? It can't be that bad," Thea added. I groaned. Why do I always get blamed for everything? My cousin hopped around the kitchen like a wild rat. "Not so bad!" he squeaked. "Would you like to tell the three hundred and forty-seven guests that they can chew their nails for dinner? I mean, what can I make at this hour? All I have left is some tomato sauce, some FLOUR, some olive oil..." Suddenly, Trap's eyes lit up. "I've got it!" he cried. "I'll make a PIZZA!"

但是陷阱不听。 “杰罗尼莫并没有把这顿饭搞砸，对吧?” 不可能那么糟糕，”西娅补充道。 我呻吟着。为什么什么事都怪我? 我表妹像只野老鼠一样在厨房里跳来跳去。 “还不错!”他尖声说。 “你愿意告诉三百四十七位客人，他们可以嚼指甲当晚餐吗?” 我是说，这个时候我能挣多少钱? 我只剩下一些番茄酱，一些面粉，一些橄榄油……” 突然，特拉普的眼睛亮了。 “我找到了!”他叫道。“我要做披萨!”

Benjamin tugged at Trap's sleeve. "But what about the cheese, Uncle?" he asked. My cousin grinned. He had a plan. A plan to make some very unusual pizzas. With the oven fired up, we began cramming in pizza after pizza at breakneck speed. Trap hummed a happy tune as he threw the rounded pizza dough into the air. I must admit, he was pretty good at it. I decided to go check on the situation in the ballroom. The guests had the hungry look of mice who had been dancing for hours. They drummed the table impatiently with their paws. Their eyes were focused on the door that

本杰明拉了拉特拉的袖子。 “那奶酪呢，叔叔?”他问。 我的表妹咧嘴一笑。他有一个计划。 计划做一些与众不同的披萨。 随着烤箱的预热，我们开始以极快的速度塞进一个又一个披萨。 特拉普一边把圆形的披萨面团抛向空中，一边哼着欢快的小调。 我必须承认，他做得很好。 我决定去舞厅看看情况。 客人们饿得像跳了几个小时舞的老鼠。 他们不耐烦地用爪子敲打着桌子。 他们的目光都集中在那扇门上

led to the kitchen. Just then, Trap gave me the signal. I bowed to Count Vlad. "Dinner is served!" I announced. At that moment, the door flew open. Benjamin rolled in a cart loaded with pizzas. The guests licked their whiskers. The pizzas had very special toppings. There, were pureed ants, spiey earthworms, broiled bumblebees, and more! "Pizzas?" the guests murmured. "Never tasted one before ... but these are delicious!" The meal was a huge success. "Whose idea was it? Who made these wonderful things?" the guests asked. Everyone wanted to know.

通向厨房。就在这时，特拉普给了我信号。 我向弗拉德伯爵鞠了一躬。“晚餐准备好了!”我宣布。 就在这时，门突然开了。 本杰明推着一辆装满披萨的手推车。 客人们舔着胡须。 披萨有很特别的配料。 那里有蚂蚁泥，蚯蚓，烤大黄蜂，还有更多!“披萨?”客人们低声说。 “以前从没尝过…… 但是这些很好吃!”这顿饭非常成功。 “是谁的主意?”谁做了这些奇妙的东西?”客人们问道。 每个人都想知道。
