5 Squeaking Pumpkins

Chapter 5 Squeaking Pumpkins "I can't find all the Mini Monsters on my own," thought Billy. He looked around for Ruby and spotted her by the snack table.

“我一个人找不到所有的小怪兽，”比利想。 他四处寻找鲁比，发现她在小吃摊旁。

"The monsters are at the PARTY," he whispered. "I've found Sparkle- Bogey and Gloop." Can you help me find the others?

“怪物在晚会上。”他低声说。 “我找到斯巴克——博吉和格鲁普了。” 你能帮我找到其他人吗？

Ruby nodded. "But we've got to be quiet about it," said Billy. "No one must notice that we're up to something." Just then, they heard shouts behind them. A group of children had started carving the pumpkins. This is fangtastic!

Ruby点点头。“但是我们必须保持安静，”比利说。 “没人会注意到我们在做什么。” 就在这时，他们听到身后的喊叫声。 一群孩子已经开始雕刻南瓜了。 这太棒了！

"That's odd," said one of the boys. "My pumpkin is making squeaking noises." Billy and Ruby looked at each other. They were both thinking the same thing. OH NO! There must be a Mini Monster INSIDE the pumpkin!

“真奇怪，”其中一个男孩说。 “我的南瓜发出吱吱的声音。” 比利和鲁比面面相觑。 他们俩想的是同一件事。 噢,不!南瓜里一定有个小怪物！

The other children stopped carving and bent down to listen. Then there was silence. "Let's see if it does it again," said a little girl. She picked up her pumpkin carver. STOP!

其他孩子停止雕刻，弯下腰听。 然后是沉默。“让我们看看它会不会再来一次，”一个小女孩说。 她拿起她的南瓜雕刻机。 停!

"DON'T touch that pumpkin!" shouted Ruby. "Why not?" asked the girl. Lots of people were gathered around the pumpkin table now- including Billy and Ruby's parents. Because I left my pet rat in there.

“别碰那个南瓜！” “为什么不呢？”女孩问。 现在有很多人围在南瓜桌旁，包括比利和鲁比的父母。 因为我把我的宠物老鼠落在里面了。
