13-I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU

I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU... Next morning, just as I was leaving for the airport, the phone rang. An excited voice squeaked, "Geronimooo!" It was my Aunt Sweetfur. She lived in a mouse hole a few blocks away. She was always forgetting things like her glasses and her cell phone and her fur brush. But she never forgot my birthday. She was my favorite aunt. "Heeeelp! Help me, Geronimo!" Aunt Sweetfur was shrieking. "My mouse hole is on FIRE!" My whiskers stood on end. "Hold tight, Auntie!" I ordered. "I'm on my way!" I called the fire department. Then I raced to Aunt Sweetfur's place. The fire department

我愿意为你做任何事…… 第二天早上，正当我要去机场时，电话响了。 一个激动的声音尖声叫道:“哈利!”是我的斯威特弗姨妈。 她住在几个街区外的一个老鼠洞里。 她总是忘记带眼镜、手机和毛刷。 但她从未忘记我的生日。 她是我最喜欢的阿姨。“救命啊!救救我，杰罗尼莫!”斯威弗姨妈在尖叫。 “我的老鼠洞着火了!”我的胡子竖了起来。 “抓紧了，姨妈!”我命令道。 “我在路上了!”我给消防队打了电话。 然后我跑到斯威特弗姨妈家。 消防部门

wasn't there yet. What could I do? I was afraid of fire. But I had to be brave. I raced up the wooden staircase, which was already beginning to burn. I spotted Aunt Sweetfur through the thick smoke. "I'm here, Auntie!" I cried. I picked her up. Then I raced back down the stairs. A beam fell from the ceiling, sending sparks flying. BURNING embers grazed my tail. I came out panting. Luckily, Aunt Sweetfur was fine. "Thank you, my darling nephew," she said with a sigh. "You're always there for me when I need you." I smiled. "For you, Auntie, I'd do anything!" I squeaked. And I meant it. After all, I had just walked through fire for her! I headed home. I was in no rush this time. I had already missed my plane ... again.

那时还没有。我该怎么办呢? 我怕火。但我必须勇敢。 我跑上木楼梯，楼梯已经开始燃烧起来。 我透过浓烟看到了斯威特弗姨妈。 “我在这儿，姨妈!”我哭了。 我把她抱起来了。然后我跑下楼梯。 一根横梁从天花板上掉下来，火花四溅。 燃烧的余烬擦过我的尾巴。 我气喘吁吁地出来了。幸运的是，斯威弗姨妈没事。 “谢谢你，我亲爱的侄儿，”她叹了口气说。 “当我需要你的时候，你总是在我身边。” 我笑了笑。“姨妈，为了你，我什么都愿意做!”我发出“吱吱”的响声。 我是认真的。毕竟，我刚刚为她赴汤蹈火!我回家了。 这次我并不着急。 我已经错过飞机了。 再一次。
