6. Around the Campfire

6 Around the Campfire The children were grateful to follow the tour group back along the trail. As they crested Mount Rushmore over Lincoln's face, the boys walked to the edge to take a look. The repair crew had done an excellent job. The crack was barely visible. Stanley stepped out even farther. "See, Arthur," he boasted. "See, I can too stand out here!"

孩子们很感激能跟着旅行团沿着小路往回走。 当他们把拉什莫尔山的峰顶盖在林肯的脸上时，孩子们走到山边看了看。 维修人员干得很出色。 裂缝几乎看不见。 斯坦利走得更远了。 “瞧，亚瑟。”他得意地说。 “看，我也能站在这里!”

But just then a sudden gust of wind caught Stanley by surprise. It swept him off his feet, and he went skittering down Lincoln's steep forehead, coming to rest on the bridge of Lincoln's long nose!

但就在这时，一阵突如其来的风使斯坦利措手不及。 它把他卷了起来，他从林肯陡峭的额头上跳下来，停在林肯的长鼻梁上!

Stanley held on for dear life. He looked around… far, far above him he saw Arthur, looking terribly worried. And suddenly he was very glad his brother had brought his authentic cowboy gear with him… "Arthur!" he cried. "Throw down your lasso!" Arthur uncoiled his lasso and swung it around and around, aiming. Then he let go, and the rope went sailing out into the South Dakota sky… and landed right in front of Stanley's outstretched hand! Calamity Jasper gave Arthur an admiring nod. "Mighty fine twirling, buckaroo!" she applauded. "Mighty fine." Stanley grabbed hold of the rope and tied it around his waist. "Bring me up, Arthur!" he called. Just then, another gust of wind blew across the mountain. It lifted Stanley Lambchop up like a kite, up and up until the lasso was stretched taut. Stanley flew high above the tour group! "Boys!" Mrs. Lambchop called, when she saw what was going on. "Quit that horsing around!" "Now dear, the boys are just having a bit of fun," Mr. Lambchop said. "It's their vacation, too,

斯坦利拼命地坚持着。 他环顾四周，在他上面很远很远的地方，他看到了阿瑟，看上去非常担心。 突然，他很高兴哥哥带来了他真正的牛仔装备……“亚瑟!” “放下你的套索!”阿瑟解开套索，一圈又一圈地挥舞着，瞄准目标。 然后他松手了，绳子飘到了南达科他州的天空中……正好落在斯坦利伸出的手面前!贾斯珀钦佩地朝阿瑟点了点头。 “好棒的旋转，牛仔!”她称赞道。 “强大的好。”斯坦利抓住绳子，把它系在腰上。 “带我上来，亚瑟!”他喊道。 就在这时，另一阵风从山上吹过。 它像风筝一样把斯坦利·兰博切提了起来，越升越高，直到套索被拉紧。 斯坦利飞得比旅行团高!“男孩!”兰切普太太看到发生的事情后打电话来。 “别胡闹了!”“亲爱的，孩子们只是在找点乐子，”兰姆切普说。 “这也是他们的假期，

after all. I don't see the harm." "I suppose you're right, George," Mrs. Lambchop said. "Still, I noticed Stanley smelled strongly of smoke, and that is not good for a growing boy. I'd like him to come back to camp and change his clothes. Arthur, reel your brother in now, please."

毕竟。我看不出有什么害处。” “我想你是对的，乔治，”兰彻太太说。 “不过，我注意到斯坦利身上有一股浓重的烟味，这对一个正在发育的男孩来说可不是什么好事。 我想让他回营地换衣服。 亚瑟，现在把你弟弟拉上来，求你了。”

When Stanley was back on earth, Mr. Lambchop invited Calamity to join them for a cookout. After a delicious meal of hot dogs and hamburgers, Mrs. Lambchop said, "I believe this celebration calls for s'mores!" to cheers all around. While they were toasting the marshmallows, Stanley and Arthur apologized for causing so much trouble in the mine earlier. "Also, we're sorry you didn't find any gold," Arthur said. "You have nothing to show for all that time in the mine." "Well, that ain't exactly so, pardner," Calamity said with a grin. She dug into her pocket and produced a large gleaming gold nugget. "I found it in my boot. Reckon it fell in during the cave-in." "Real gold!" breathed Arthur. "Can I hold it?" "You can do more than hold it, pardner," Calamity said with a mysterious smile. "You got a hammer?" Arthur fetched the hammer they had packed to pound in the tent stakes. Calamity placed the nugget on a flat rock and brought the hammer down hard, cracking it into three chunks of gold. She gave one to Stanley and one to Arthur.

斯坦利回到地球后，兰切普先生邀请“灾难”和他们一起去野炊。 吃完美味的热狗和汉堡包后，兰普切太太说:“我相信这个庆祝活动需要s'mores!” 当他们在烤棉花糖的时候，斯坦利和阿瑟为之前在矿井里造成这么多麻烦而道歉。 “还有，我们很遗憾你没找到金子。”阿瑟说。 “你在矿井里待了那么久，什么也没有给我看。” “嗯，不完全是这样，伙伴。”Calamity咧嘴笑着说。 她把手伸进口袋，掏出一大块闪闪发光的金块。 “我在靴子里找到的。估计是塌方时掉进去的。” “真的金子!”阿瑟轻声说。 “我能拿着它吗?”“你能做的不仅仅是握住它，伙伴。”灾难带着神秘的微笑说。 “你有锤子吗?”阿瑟拿来了他们准备好的锤子，用来砸帐篷的桩子。 “灾难”把金块放在一块平坦的岩石上，用锤子重重地砸了下来，把它敲成了三块金子。 她给斯坦利一个，给亚瑟一个。

"They're yours, you earned them," she said to the brothers. "Way I see it, without the cave-in, I wouldn't have had the gold in the first place. And without you, there wouldn't have been no cave-in." And with that, Calamity Jasper mounted her trusty steed, waved goodbye, and rode off into the sunset.

“它们是你们的，你们挣来的，”她对兄弟们说。 “在我看来，如果没有塌方，我一开始就不会得到金牌。 没有你，就不会有塌方。” 说完，Calamity Jasper骑上她那匹可靠的坐骑，挥手告别，骑马奔向夕阳。
