19-I COULD BUY EARPLUGS

I COULD BUY EARPLUGS... I was still flipping through the games in Fur Kids Only when Pinky started squeaking. "Let's go play marbles, everyone! Come on, Boss. We'll have fun!" I groaned. RANCID RAT HAIRS! I just wasn't in the mood for Pinky's fun and games. I was on vacation, after all. I just wanted to be by myself. To enjoy the natural wildlife. I looked around. The only wildlife I saw was a swarm of mosquitoes and two sick-looking garden slugs. Well, maybe I could play one or two of Pinky's games, I decided. Before I knew it, I was rolling marbles down a huge sand track. Then I ran in an egg race, made a sock

我可以买耳塞……当我还在玩《Fur Kids Only》时，Pinky开始尖叫了。 “大家一起去玩弹珠吧!”拜托，老板。 我们会玩得很开心的!”我呻吟着。 腐臭的老鼠毛!我只是没心情和Pinky玩游戏。 毕竟我是在度假。 我只是想一个人待着。 去享受自然的野生动物。 我环顾四周。我唯一看到的野生动物是一群蚊子和两只看上去很恶心的花园蛞蝓。 好吧，也许我可以玩一两个Pinky的游戏，我决定。 在我意识到之前，我已经在一条巨大的沙道上滚着弹珠了。 然后我参加了鸡蛋赛跑，做了一只袜子

puppet, and even danced the rain dance. I must admit, Pinky was right. I did have fun. Loads of fun. In fact, I think it is safe to say that I had more fun than a day at the Swiss Cheese Festival. At dinner, I had another surprise. It turned out Freddy Fleafur was actually an excellent cook. Once we told him we didn't like bugs, he came up with a whole new menu. We had FRESH-SQUEEZED LEMONADE, BLUE CHEESE PIE, MELTED CHEDDAR ROLLS, AND FRESH STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE FOR DESSERT. It was all so yummy, I chowed down 3 helpings! Soon it was time for bed. I wasn't looking forward to sleeping in the same room with Pinky and her friends. They'd probably be up giggling away half the night. But I was a grown mouse. I needed my rest.

木偶，甚至还跳了雨舞。 我必须承认，Pinky是对的。 我玩得很开心。非常有趣。 事实上，我想可以肯定地说，我比在瑞士奶酪节度过的一天更有趣。 晚餐时，我有另一个惊喜。 原来弗雷迪·弗勒弗尔其实是个很棒的厨师。 当我们告诉他我们不喜欢虫子时，他想出了一个全新的菜单。 我们点了鲜榨柠檬水、蓝奶酪派、融化的切达面包卷和新鲜的草莓奶酪蛋糕作为甜点。 太好吃了，我吃了三份!很快就到了睡觉的时间了。 我可不想和Pinky还有她的朋友们睡在一个房间里。 他们可能会笑上大半夜。 但我是一只成年老鼠。我需要休息。

Of course, in the end, I was right. Pinky and her friends did end up squeaking and telling silly stories all night long. But I was the mouse laughing the loudest! Yes, I'm embarrassed to say, I had the best time. The days seemed to fly by. Before I knew it, it was the day before we left for home. I climbed into the bathtub for a relaxing soak. Pinky really wasn't such a bad mouse, I decided. In fact, Pinky could be a lot of fun. Maybe next year I'd go on vacation with Pinky again, I thought. I sank deeper into the tub and closed my eyes. Just then, I heard someone singing in a loud, obnoxious voice outside the bathroom. "I KNOW A SONG THAT DRIVES MICE WILD, BUT I DON'T CARE 'CAUSE IT MAKES ME SMILE! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH..." I knew who was squeaking. I already

当然，最后，我是对的。 Pinky和她的朋友们整晚都在吱吱喳喳地讲着愚蠢的故事。 但我是那只笑得最响的老鼠!是的，我不好意思说，我度过了最美好的时光。 日子好像过得飞快。 不知不觉中，就到了我们回家的前一天。 我爬进浴缸泡个澡放松一下。 我想，Pinky真的不是一只坏老鼠。 事实上，Pinky很有趣。 我想，也许明年我可以再和Pinky一起去度假。 我在浴缸里陷得更深了，闭上了眼睛。 就在这时，我听到有人在浴室外面大声唱歌，声音令人讨厌。 “我知道有一首歌能让老鼠发疯，但我不在乎，因为它让我微笑!”对，对，对……” 我知道是谁在尖叫。我已经

knew that irritating song. I already knew that horrible, ear-piercing squeak. I sighed. I guess I wasn't really ready for another vacation with Pinky Pick. Then again, I could always buy earplugs....

知道那首烦人的歌。 我已经听过那种刺耳的尖叫声了。 我叹了口气。我想我还没准备好和Pinky Pick一起度假。 然后，我总是可以买耳塞....
