Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Poppy dropped his carrot and cried out. "Mom is in the yard! We have to go get her before the aliens grab her." "Don't get your feathers in a bunch, Poppy," said Sugar. "UFOs don't want chickens." "Why not?" asked Poppy. "Chickens are way better than squirrels!" "Are not!" said Tail. "Are too!" said Poppy. "Are not!" said Tail. "Are too!" said Poppy. "Let me handle this," said Sugar. "You know that nice lady Barbara, who lives in the main house?" Squirrel nodded. "Did Barbara build you a house to keep you warm and snug?" "Well, no."

波比把胡萝卜掉在地上，大叫起来。 “妈妈在院子里！”我们必须在外星人抓住她之前去救她。” “别把你的羽毛弄得乱七八糟，波比，”休格说。 “不明飞行物不想要鸡。” “为什么不？”波比问。“鸡可比松鼠好多了！”“不！”尾巴说。 “我们也是！”波比说。“不！”尾巴说。 “我们也是！”波比说。“让我来处理吧，”糖说。 “你认识住在主楼的芭芭拉女士吗？”松鼠点点头。 “芭芭拉给你造房子是为了让你温暖舒适吗？”“嗯,没有。”

"Does Barbara come out here every day just to feed you?" asked Sugar. "No." "Did Barbara get a dog just to keep you safe?" asked Sugar. "No." "I'm on to something here," said Sugar. "Chickens are unique, beautiful, talented, special, and extraordinarily rare. But squirrels... are none of those things...." "HEY! I resent that!" said Tail.

“芭芭拉每天出来就是为了喂你吗？”休格问。 “没有。”“芭芭拉养狗只是为了保护你的安全吗？”休格问。 “没有。”“我说到点子上了，”休格说。 “鸡是独一无二的，美丽的，有天赋的，特别的，非常罕见的。 但是松鼠…难道这些都不是....” “嘿!我讨厌这一点！”尾巴说。

"Let me finish, Tail," said Sugar. "Squirrels are everywhere. Gray ones, black ones, big ones, fat ones. They are common, ordinary, boring creatures." Sugar went to the door and looked out into the yard. "I'm not sure I follow you, Sugar," said Dirt. "My point is that no self-respecting alien in his or her right mind is going to bring back a common, ordinary, boring creature as a pet." "I am definitely not following you," said Sweetie. "I'm saying the UFO isn't here for you, Tail," said Sugar slowly. "That UFO is here... for us."

“让我说完，尾巴。”糖说。 “松鼠到处都是。 灰色的，黑色的，大的，胖的。 他们是普通、普通、无聊的生物。” 糖走到门口，朝院子里望去。 “我不太明白你的意思，甜心。”泥土说。 “我的观点是，任何一个心智正常、有自尊的外星人都不会把一个普通、普通、无聊的生物带回来当宠物。” “我肯定没有跟着你，”甜心说。 “我是说不明飞行物不是来找你的，尾巴。”糖慢慢地说。 “那个不明飞行物在这里……适合我们。”

"Us?" Now it was Sweetie's turn to drop a carrot. "The aliens have come for chickens," Sugar said decisively. "I always knew this would happen one day." "You did?" asked Sweetie. "Mom is out there!!" cried Poppy for the second time. "I don't see her anywhere," said Sugar, looking out into the yard. "Quick. We have to act fast! Poppy, Sweetie, go to the supply room and get me grass clippings, a bag of rocks, a ball of string, a tank of helium, and an orange balloon." "Chickens couldn't possibly have all those things!" said the squirrel. "Then you don't know chickens, Tail," said Sugar. "You don't know chickens at all."

“我们?”现在轮到小甜心扔胡萝卜了。 “外星人是来抓鸡的，”休格果断地说。 “我一直知道总有一天会这样。” “是吗？”甜心问。“妈妈在外面！！”波比第二次叫道。 “我哪儿也没看见她，”休格望着院子说。 “快。我们必须快点行动！波比，亲爱的，去供应室给我拿些草屑，一袋石头，一个绳子球，一罐氦气，还有一个橙色的气球。” “鸡不可能拥有所有这些东西！”松鼠说。 “那么你不了解鸡，尾巴。”糖说。 “你根本不了解鸡。”
