5 The Missing Necklace

5 The Missing Necklace Thursday Disaster! When we got to school Miss Featherbottom looked really sad. Class, I have bad news. My special necklace— the something old that I was going to wear at my wedding— is missing! The Secret Wedding Planners Club held an emergency meeting at my tree house after school.

遗失的项链星期四的灾难！当我们到达学校时，羽毛小姐看起来很伤心。 同学们，我有个坏消息。我特别的项链——我本来要在婚礼上戴的那件旧项链——不见了！秘密婚礼策划俱乐部放学后在我的树屋召开了紧急会议。

Miss Featherbottom seems so sad! What can we do? The best way for us to help her is to add another task to our to-do list: solve the case of the missing necklace! We became the Secret Wedding Planners and Detectives Club! I've read LOTS of mystery books. So I knew we needed to do three things: dress like detectives, ask questions, and look for clues. We put on our detective outfits.

羽底小姐看起来很伤心！我们能做什么？ 对我们来说，帮助她的最好办法就是在我们的任务清单上再加一项任务：解决丢失项链的案子！我们成了秘密婚礼策划师和侦探俱乐部！我读过很多推理书。 所以我知道我们需要做三件事：穿得像侦探，问问题，寻找线索。 我们穿上侦探服。

Then we flew back to school. Luckily, Miss Featherbottom was still there. Kiera started asking questions. When did you last see your necklace? I'm not sure exactly. I remember having it in my desk on Tuesday because it was Pet Day. And I remember General Slithers crawling through it. But I can't remember if I saw it after that. Has anything else gone missing? Well, now that I think about it, I couldn't find my silver star stickers or glitter pens this morning.

然后我们飞回学校。 幸运的是，羽毛小姐还在那儿。 基拉开始问问题。 你最后一次看到你的项链是什么时候？ 我不太确定。我记得周二的时候我把它放在桌子上，因为那天是宠物日。 我记得斯利瑟斯将军爬了进去。 但我不记得之后有没有看过。 还有什么东西丢了吗？ 现在我想起来了，我今早找不到我的银星贴纸和闪光笔了。

Next, we searched for clues. Zara pointed to Miss Featherbottom's desk. Look at these scratch marks! Isn't this the drawer where the necklace was kept? Yes. But the necklace isn't in the classroom anymore. And neither is the thief. Let's go search the forest. No one paid much attention to the scratch marks. But I felt like I had seen them before. I just had to remember where!

接下来，我们寻找线索。 扎拉指着羽毛小姐的桌子。 看这些抓痕！这不是放项链的抽屉吗？ 是的。但是那条项链已经不在教室里了。 小偷也不是。我们去森林里找找。 没有人注意到那些抓痕。 但我觉得我以前见过他们。 我只需要记住在哪里！

We searched the forest for ages. Finally, George saw something. Who's that over there? It's Sue. Look! Her bag has something shiny sticking out of it! And Sue doesn't like weddings! Maybe she took the necklace!

我们在森林里搜寻了很长时间。 最后，乔治看到了一些东西。 那边那个人是谁？这是苏。 看！她的包里有发亮的东西！苏不喜欢婚礼！也许她拿了项链！

We flew over to Sue. What's in your bag, Sue? None of your business. Did you pick up Miss Featherbottom's necklace— maybe by mistake? Do you maybe have it in your bag? I am not a thief, Eva! I didn't take the necklace! Sue looked upset as she flew away. I felt awful. Oh, Diary! I guess I said the wrong thing? I was only trying to solve the mystery!

我们飞过去找苏。苏，你包里有什么？ 不关你的事。你是不是捡起了羽毛小姐的项链——也许是不小心？ 你包里有吗？ 我不是小偷，伊娃！项链不是我拿的！苏飞走时显得很不安。 我感觉糟透了。哦,日记!我想我说错话了？ 我只是想解开这个谜！
