3 Groggles and Ninns

Three Groggles and Ninns Thwang! Another arrow flew at them. Suddenly, flying lizards were everywhere. The riders on their backs were getting their bows ready for another shot. "Run back up to my house!" Eric shouted. "We can't!" Julie said. "The steps are disappearing. Look!" She pointed. The stairs were fading into the mist. Vanishing into the pink sky. "Oh, man!" Neal cried. "I knew this would happen!" Thwang! A third flaming arrow shot by. "Follow me to the bottom," Eric yelled. "We can hide in the trees!" He rushed down, jumping two steps with every

三个groggle and Ninns Thwang！又一支箭向他们飞来。 突然间，到处都是飞行的蜥蜴。 骑在背上的骑手们正拉着弓准备再次射击。 “快跑回我家去！”埃里克喊道。 “我们不能!”朱莉说。“台阶正在消失。 看!”她指出。楼梯渐渐消失在雾中。 消失在粉红色的天空中。 “哦,男人!”Neal哭了。“我就知道会这样！”Thwang !第三支燃烧的箭射了过来。 “跟着我下去，”埃里克喊道。 “我们可以躲在树上！”他冲下来，每跳两级台阶

jump. But the steps were disappearing under him. "No!" he cried. He tumbled into the air. "Ahhh!" Julie screamed. Neal shouted, "Grab onto the —" Eric didn't hear the rest. He fell like a rock through the trees. Branches snapped and cracked around him. "Umph!" Eric moaned when he finally hit the ground. He lay there, facing the sky. For a second he couldn't remember where he was. Then he saw the giant lizards circling lower. Kaww! Kaww! They dived toward him. "Holy cow!" Eric tried to crawl under a bush. "Ouch! My ankle!" he groaned. He must have hurt it in the fall. He could hardly move. The lizards swept even closer to the treetops. When they swooped, Eric saw the riders clearly. Their skin was as bright and shiny as red crayons! "Oh, man, I must be dreaming!" he whispered to himself. "A really bad dream, too." "It's bad," said a voice. "But it's no dream." Eric turned his head. "Who said that?" "Shhh!" Suddenly the bushes before him began to move, and someone leaped out at him.

跳。但是他脚下的台阶渐渐消失了。 “不！”他叫道。他猛地飞向空中。 “啊!”朱莉尖叫。尼尔喊道：“抓住——”埃里克没听见后面的话。 他像一块石头一样从树林里掉了下来。 他周围的树枝噼啪作响。 “嗯呼!”埃里克终于落地时呻吟了一声。 他躺在那里，面朝天空。 有那么一瞬间，他不记得自己身在何处。 接着，他看见巨大的蜥蜴在低处盘旋。 Kaww !Kaww !他们向他扑去。 “圣牛!”埃里克试图从灌木丛下爬过去。 “哎哟!我的脚踝！”他呻吟道。 他一定是摔伤了。 他几乎动弹不得。蜥蜴更接近树梢。 当他们俯冲时，埃里克清楚地看到了骑手。 他们的皮肤像红色的蜡笔一样明亮有光泽！“哦，伙计，我一定是在做梦！”他低声自言自语。 “也是一个非常糟糕的梦。” “很糟糕。”一个声音说。“但这不是梦。” 埃里克转过头。“谁说的？”“嘘!”突然，他面前的灌木丛动了起来，有人向他扑了过来。

It was a girl! She was dressed in a blue tunic. A thick brown belt was wound around her waist. Kaww! Kaww! The lizards swooped again. The girl picked up a pebble. She threw it hard. It hit a distant tree with a loud smack. "Over there!" cried a lizard rider, pointing to the tree. The lizards flew away. "Whoa, cool move!" Eric looked into the girl's green eyes. Her skin was as pale as a cloud. "But… who are you?" "Keeah," she said. "You must be from the Upper World. How did you get here?" Eric blinked when he thought of how to tell her. "I… uh… sort of… fell." "You picked the worst place in all of Droon. Lord Sparr is very close. His red Ninns are everywhere, hunting for me on their flying groggles." "Lord Sparr?" Eric repeated. "Ninns? Groggles?" "Did you hurt yourself?" The girl pressed her finger on Eric's ankle. "Ouch!" Eric grunted. "It's probably sprained." Then the girl opened a small leather pouch on her wrist. She sprinkled some sparkly dust on Eric's ankle. "Better?" His leg began to tingle. He moved his foot.

是个女孩！她穿着蓝色的束腰外衣。 她腰上系着一条棕色的粗腰带。 Kaww !Kaww !蜥蜴又猛扑过来。 女孩捡起一块鹅卵石。 她使劲扔。它砰的一声撞在远处的一棵树上。 “在那边！”一个蜥蜴骑士指着那棵树叫道。 蜥蜴飞走了。“哇，好酷的动作！”埃里克看着女孩的绿眼睛。 她的皮肤像云一样苍白。 “可是……你是谁？”“嗯，”她说。 “你一定是从上层世界来的。 你是怎么到这儿来的？”当埃里克想到如何告诉她时，他眨了眨眼睛。 “我……嗯……有点……摔倒了。” “你选了德鲁恩最糟糕的地方。 斯帕尔勋爵非常接近。他的红精灵到处都是，骑着飞行的小精灵在找我。” “主Sparr ?”Eric重复。 “Ninns ?Groggles ?”“你受伤了吗？”女孩把手指按在埃里克的脚踝上。 “哎哟!”埃里克哼了一声。“可能是扭伤了。” 然后女孩打开了手腕上的一个小皮袋。 她在埃里克的脚踝上撒了一些闪闪发光的灰尘。 “好吗?”他的腿开始感到刺痛。 他移动了他的脚。

"The pain's gone. How did you do that?" "Never mind," the girl said. She began to scribble on a piece of paper. "You have to help me. Find Galen and tell him to send this message to my father, King Zello." "King?" Eric repeated. "You're a princess?" "There they are! Get them!" a voice cried out from above. Fwap! Fwap! The lizards dived suddenly toward Keeah and Eric. They flapped to the ground and their red riders leaped off. "The Ninns have spotted us!" Keeah cried. She pushed the wrinkled scrap of paper into Eric's hand. "Lord Sparr is a wizard. He's pure evil. He will stop at nothing to conquer Droon. Now, hurry. You'll find Galen in his tower."

“疼痛消失了。你是怎么做到的？”“没关系，”女孩说。 她开始在一张纸上乱写。 “你得帮帮我。把盖伦找来，让他把这封信转达给我父亲泽洛国王。” “王?”Eric重复。“你是公主？”“他们在那儿！”抓住他们！”一个声音从上面喊道。 Fwap !Fwap !蜥蜴突然向基娅和埃里克扑去。 它们拍打着翅膀落在地上，红色的骑手跳了起来。 “妮子发现我们了！”Keeah哭了。 她把那张皱巴巴的纸片塞到埃里克手里。 “斯帕尔大人是个巫师。他是个十足的恶魔。 他会不惜一切代价征服德鲁恩。 现在,快点。你会在他的塔里找到盖伦的。”

"Tower?" said Eric. "I can't find any tower. I've got to find my friends and get home!" The girl looked into his eyes. "If you're from the Upper World, you'll need help getting home. If you do this for me, I promise to help you. Now, I'll distract them while you go. Hurry!" Without another word, Keeah leaped away swiftly, like a cat. The leaves fluttered above her, and Eric looked up. A strange white bird was gliding over the trees. The bird seemed to be following her. "There!" one Ninn yelled. "The princess!" The red creatures broke branches and tore at leaves to get to Keeah. But she only ran faster. "I don't believe any of this!" Eric said. He scrambled up from the ground and dashed down a narrow path after the princess. A stone bridge lay ahead of him. Maybe if he got there before the Ninns he could somehow help Keeah escape. He had to try. Eric raced toward the bridge. "Get him!" cried a voice. A hand came from nowhere. It grabbed Eric. It pulled him to the ground!

“塔？”埃里克说。“我找不到塔。 我得去找我的朋友，然后回家！”女孩凝视着他的眼睛。 “如果你来自上层世界，你需要帮助才能回家。 如果你为我做这件事，我保证会帮助你。 你走的时候我来引开他们。 快点!”基厄二话没说，像只猫一样飞快地跳开了。 树叶在她头顶上飘动，埃里克抬起头来。 一只奇怪的白鸟在树上滑翔。 那只鸟似乎在跟着她。 “那里！”一个宁喊道。“公主!”这些红色的生物折断树枝，撕扯树叶，来到基娅身边。 但她只是跑得更快了。“我不相信这些！”Eric说。 他从地上爬起来，沿着一条狭窄的小路冲向公主。 他面前有一座石桥。 如果他比尼恩人先到，也许就能帮姬亚逃走。 他必须尝试一下。埃里克向桥跑去。 “抓住他！”一个声音喊道。不知从哪里来一只手。 它抓住了埃里克。它把他拉到了地上！
