3. When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best

CHAPTER 3 WHEN YOU CARE ENOUGH TO SEND THE VERY BEST Ms. Ribble went around the classroom handing out envelopes, sheets of construction paper, and butterfly stencils to all of the children. Then she wrote a poem on the chalkboard. "Alright, take out your crayons," said Ms. Ribble harshly. "I want you to use stencils to make a yellow butterfly on the front of your cards. When you're done, copy this poem on the inside."

第三章当你足够关心，送去最好的小姐。 里布尔在教室里转了一圈，给所有的孩子分发信封、画纸和蝴蝶模板。 然后她在黑板上写了一首诗。 “好了，拿出你的蜡笔。” 博尔严厉。“我想让你们用模板在卡片的正面做一只黄色的蝴蝶。 写完后，把这首诗抄在里面。”

"Can we make up our own poems?" asked Melvin Sneedly. "No!" snapped Ms. Ribble. "Do we have to use stencils?" asked Aaron Mancini. "YES!" yelled Ms. Ribble. "Can we make our butterflies purple?" asked Stephanie Yarkoff.

“我们能自己编诗吗？”梅尔文·斯尼利问道。 “不！”里布尔女士厉声说。“我们一定要用模板吗？”亚伦·曼奇尼问道。 “是的！”里布尔女士喊道。“我们能把蝴蝶染成紫色吗？”斯蒂芬妮·亚科夫问道。

"NO!" screamed Ms. Ribble. "Butterflies are yellow! Everyone knows that!" While the rest of the class worked on their cards, George and Harold had a better idea. "Let's make Ms. Ribble a comic book instead!" said George. "Yeah!" said Harold. "We can make it all about her. It'll be cool!"

“不！”里布尔女士尖叫道。 “蝴蝶是黄色的！”每个人都知道！”当班上的其他人都在做卡片时，乔治和哈罗德有了一个更好的主意。 “我们给里布尔小姐做一本漫画书吧！”乔治说。 “是啊！”哈罗德说。“我们可以把一切都放在她身上。 会很酷的！”

So that's just what they did.

这就是他们所做的。
