13. The Stinky-Kong 2000

CHAPTER 13 THE STINKY-KONG 2000 The next day, Mr. Meaner looked even more different than he had the day before. He'd been building a mechanical ape suit in his laboratory, and each new morning it got more and more elaborate. The genius gym teacher started the day by spraying all of the children in his classes with his newest mind- control formula, Rid-O-Kid 2000. "Say hello to my stinky friends!" shouted Mr. Meaner with each squirt.

第二天，米纳先生看起来比前一天更不一样了。 他一直在实验室里制作一套机械猿人服，每天早上都变得越来越精细。 这位天才体育老师在一天开始的时候，给他班上所有的孩子喷上了他最新的精神控制配方——Rid-O-Kid 2000。 “跟我的臭朋友们打个招呼吧！”米纳先生每喷一次就喊一声。

In no time at all, the entire student body of Jerome Horwitz Elementary School was transformed. Now every kid in school had Attention Superfluous Lethargy Syndrome. "This is WONDERFUL!" Mr. Krupp exclaimed. "There's no more laughing, no more daydreaming, and no more running or playing or goofing around. It's like you've crushed their spirits AND their imaginations in one fell swoop!" "I'm really doing the world a great service," Mr. Meaner said with a slithery smile. "I'm raising a new generation of totally compliant button-pushers. They'll do what they're told, they won't question authority, and best of all, NO COMPLAINING!"

很快，杰罗姆·霍维茨小学的整个学生群体都发生了变化。 现在学校里的每个孩子都有注意力过剩嗜睡综合症。 “这太棒了！”克虏伯先生叫道。 “没有欢笑，没有白日梦，没有奔跑、玩耍或胡闹。 就好像你一下子摧毁了他们的精神和想象力！”“我真的在为这个世界做着伟大的服务，”米纳先生带着狡黠的微笑说。 “我正在培养新一代完全顺从的按键式员工。 他们会按照命令去做，他们不会质疑权威，最重要的是，他们不会抱怨！”

"Yeah, but isn't Rid-O-Kid 2000TM dangerous?" asked Ms. Ribbles "Not for us," said Mr. Meaner. "The spray only affects children. Adults are totally immune, so it's perfectly safe!" The only downside to Mr. Meaner's intra- nasally absorbed spray is that it only lasted for twenty-four hours. To be completely effective, it needed to be resprayed every day. "That's the beauty of my system," said ME Meaner. "Once parents see how easy it is to control children, they'll pay ANYTHING for a daily fix!"

“是的，但是Rid-O-Kid 2000TM不是很危险吗？” “对我们来说不是，”米纳先生说。 “这种喷雾剂只影响儿童。 成年人是完全免疫的，所以它是完全安全的！”米纳先生的鼻内吸收喷雾唯一的缺点是它只能持续24小时。 为了完全有效，它需要每天重新喷一次。 “这就是我的系统的美妙之处，”米纳尔说。 “一旦父母们发现控制孩子是多么容易，他们就会不惜一切代价来每天解决问题！”
