Harry the Clever Spider on holiday

聪明蜘蛛哈利去度假

Harry was Claire's pet spider and he was very clever. Claire wanted to take Harry on holiday to Spain, but Mum said she couldn't. We need him to stay at home to keep an eye on things, Mum explained. Besides, animals aren't allowed on planes. Harry isn't an animal! cried Claire. He's a mini -beast!

哈利是克莱尔的宠物蜘蛛，他可聪明啦。 克莱尔想带哈利一起去西班牙度假，可妈妈说不行。 我们得让他留在家里看家呀，妈妈解释道。 再说啦，飞机上是不许带动物的。 哈利才不是动物呢！克莱尔大喊道，他是迷你小兽呀！

Harry didn't say anything, but he listened and watched.

哈利什么也没说，不过他都听在耳里、看在眼里。

I'm glad that hairy monster can't come on holiday with us, said Charlie. Don't think of hiding him, because I'm watching. Charlie was Claire's brother, and he was scared of spiders. Claire did think about hiding Harry, but decided against it. She knew she would miss him a lot, and he would miss her. But she didn't want him to get into trouble.

还好那个毛茸茸的怪物不能跟咱们一起去度假，查理说。 你可别想把他藏起来哦，我可盯着呢。 查理是克莱尔的弟弟，他特别怕蜘蛛。 克莱尔确实动过藏起哈利的念头，不过最后还是放弃了。 她知道自己会非常想念哈利，哈利也会想念她的。 可她不想让哈利惹上麻烦。

She helped her mum put address labels on the cases. We don't want to lose them, Dad said. We'll need our swimsuits for the beach. And we don't want to lose the necklace Dad's going to buy me for my birthday from a shop at the airport, said Mum excitedly.

她帮妈妈把地址标签贴到行李箱上。 咱们可不能把箱子弄丢了，爸爸说。 去海滩玩得穿泳衣呀。 还有爸爸要在机场商店给我买的生日项链，咱们可不能弄丢了 哦，妈妈兴奋地说道。

Claire felt sad driving to the airport without Harry. Then, when they were in the check -in queue, she felt something tickling her hand. She guessed who? Oh no! Naughty Harry!

开车去机场的路上，克莱尔因为没带哈利而闷闷不乐。 后来排队办理值机的时候，她感觉有什么东西在挠她的手。 你猜是谁？哦天呐！淘气的哈利！
