比利已经完成了他的陷阱。 气孔盖子起皱，纸棒支撑盖子起皱

He'd made an Action Plan too. Action Plan 1. Turn off lights. May need darkness for monster to come. 2. Try VERY hard not to be too scared of the scary dark. 3. Wait for sound of cheese-eater creature on crinkly paper. 4. Slam down lid. 5. Trap the cheese-eater!

他也制定了一个行动计划。 行动计划关灯。 可能需要黑暗来召唤怪物。 2. 尽量不要太害怕可怕的黑暗。 3. 等着在皱巴巴的纸上听到吃奶酪的生物的声音吧。 4. 关上盖子。5. 困住吃奶酪的人！

Mum and Dad had kissed Billy goodnight. Now he was under his duvet with his torch and his notebook.

妈妈和爸爸吻了比利，祝他晚安。 现在他躺在羽绒被下面，手里拿着手电筒和笔记本。

He was going to do this properly and write everything down. 9pm Nothing. Very dark. 9.40pm Still very dark. I think I fell asleep for a little bit... 9.55pm Nothing. The cheese is still there. ...Eeek!! What's that?! Crickly-crackly noises?! In the dark! Billy reached for his torch. There, against his wall, was an...

他打算好好做这件事，把每件事都写下来。 9点。很黑。晚上9点40分还是很黑。 我想我睡着了一会儿…… 9.55点。奶酪还在那儿。 …嘿! !那是什么? !Crickly-crackly噪音? !在黑暗中！比利伸手去拿手电筒。 在那里，靠着他的墙，有一个……

...ENORMOUS MONSTER- SHAPED SHADOW with HUGE spiky horns. Billy tried to scream but no sound came out.

In his panic, he dropped his torch. It rolled off his bed AND WENT OUT. The shadow had gone but there, glowing in the darkness, was a monster. It was green. It had horns. Only it wasn't enormous. It was... it was... tiny.

他惊慌失措，把手电筒掉在地上。 它从他的床上滚了出去。 影子消失了，但在黑暗中，有一个怪物在发光。 它是绿色的。它有角。 只是它不是很大。这是…… 这是……很小。
