01 The Pond

CHAPTER ONE THE POND Ricky Ricotta and his Mighty Robot were having a relaxing day floating in their new pond. "This is the life," said Ricky. "Nothing but peace and quiet and—"

第一章池塘里基·里科塔和他的大机器人在他们的新池塘里度过了轻松的一天。 “这就是生活，”里基说。 “除了和平、宁静和——”

"And LUCY!" cried Ricky's cousin, Lucy, as she bounded from her parents' car. Lucy's three pets, Fudgie, Cupcake, and Waffles, raced after her. Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing! Boing!

“还有露西!”里基的表妹露西从父母的车里跳了出来，大声喊道。 露西的三只宠物，软糖、纸杯蛋糕和华夫饼，都追着她跑。 啵嘤!啵嘤!啵嘤!啵嘤!啵嘤!

Lucy and her pets made quite a splash. Fudgie and Cupcake each did a belly flop off the roof of the house. Waffles started a water fight with his wings.

露西和她的宠物引起了不小的轰动。 软糖和小蛋糕都从屋顶上摔了下来。 华夫饼用翅膀打水仗。

And Lucy laughed and screamed and ran around like a maniac. "This is FUN!" cried Lucy. "This WAS fun," said Ricky.

露茜又笑又叫，像个疯子似的跑来跑去。 “真好玩!”露茜叫道。 “这很有趣，”里基说。
