And neither was his Mighty Robot. "It is six o'clock," said Ricky's father. "Ricky and his Mighty Robot are late for supper again." Just then, Ricky and his Mighty Robot flew in.

他的强大机器人也不是。 “现在是六点钟，”里基的爸爸说。 "里基和他的超级机器人又迟到了" 就在这时，里基和他的强力机器人飞了进来。

"Sorry we are late," said Ricky. "We were in Hawaii collecting seashells."

“对不起，我们迟到了，”里基说。 “我们在夏威夷收集贝壳。”

"You have been late for supper three times this week," said Ricky's mother. "No more TV until you boys learn some responsibility."

“这个星期你已经三次吃晚饭迟到了，”里基的妈妈说。 "在你们学会负责任之前别再看电视了"

"No TV?" cried Ricky. "But Rocket Rodent is on tonight. Everybody on Earth will be watching it!"

“没有电视?”里基叫道。“但是火箭啮齿动物今晚有节目。 地球上的每个人都会看的!”
