Chapter 5

Chapter 5 "We forgot to ask her where she lives," said Dirt. Sugar was pacing back and forth in the coop. "We're going to follow her," said Sugar. "Why didn't we just go with her?" asked Dirt. "I don't trust her," said Sugar. "Why not?" asked Dirt. "Never trust a weird blue chicken," said Sugar. She shook her head. "You've got a lot to learn, little sis. It's a tough world out there. Nothing is as it seems." "I'm pretty sure she's a blue jay," said Dirt, "not a weird blue chicken." "Pipe down," said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." "Um... she's not here anymore," said Dirt. "Right," said Sugar. "C'mon, let's go. I don't want to lose her trail." "What should I do?" asked Sweetie.

第五章“我们忘了问她住在哪里。”泥土说。 糖在鸡舍里踱来踱去。 “我们要跟着她，”休格说。 “我们为什么不跟她一起去呢？”泥土问。 “我不相信她，”休格说。 “为什么不呢？”泥土问。“永远不要相信一只奇怪的蓝鸡，”休格说。 她摇了摇头。“你还有很多要学的，小妹妹。 外面的世界很残酷。 一切都不是表面上的样子。”“我很确定她是一只松鸦，”泥土说，“不是一只奇怪的蓝鸡。” “安静点，”糖说。“让鸡说话吧。” “嗯……她已经不在这儿了。”泥土说。 “好吧，”糖说。“来吧，我们走。 我不想失去她的踪迹。” “我该怎么办？”甜心问。

"Stay in the shoe," said Sugar. "In case another client comes in." "Got it," said Sweetie. A moment later she asked, "What should I do if another client does come in?" "Tell them to make an appointment," said Sugar. "Then get back in the shoe." "Got it," said Sweetie. Sugar and Dirt walked side by side. They made a left turn, staying close to the shadows. Then they made another left turn. They walked single file against the back wall. They made another left turn. "Now what?" asked Dirt. "Turn left," said Sugar.

“待在鞋里，”糖说。 “以防另一个客户进来。” “明白了，”甜心说。过了一会儿，她问：“如果又来了一位客户，我该怎么办？”“叫他们约个时间，”休格说。 “那就回到鞋子里去。” “明白了，”甜心说。Sugar和Dirt肩并肩地走着。 他们向左转，紧靠着阴影。 然后他们又向左转。 他们排成一列靠着后墙走。 他们又向左转。 “现在怎么办？”泥土问。“向左转，”糖说。

They turned left. "We are right back where we started," said Dirt. "Exactly," said Sugar. "Look behind you." Dirt looked over her shoulder. "I don't see anything," said Dirt.

他们向左转。“我们又回到了起点，”Dirt说。 “没错，”糖说。“看看你身后。” 泥土从她的肩膀上看过去。 “我什么也没看见。”泥土说。

"Exactly," said Sugar. "Now we know we're not being followed." "Wow," said Dirt. "That was really smart." "Stick with me, kid," said Sugar. "I know how the world works." "Can I come with you guys?" Dirt and Sugar turned around to find the little blue bird right behind them. "Weird Blue Chicken! Where did you come from?" asked Sugar. "I followed you," said the little bird. "How?" asked Sugar. "I stayed low. Kept my head down. Walked only in the shadows. And didn't attract any attention."

“没错，”糖说。“现在我们知道我们没有被跟踪。” “哇。”泥土说。“这真的很聪明。” “跟着我，孩子。”糖说。 “我知道这个世界是怎么运转的。” “我能和你们一起去吗？”土和糖转过身来，发现那只小蓝鸟就在他们身后。 “奇怪的蓝鸡！”你从哪儿来？”糖问道。 “我跟着你，”小鸟说。 “怎么做？”糖问道。“我保持低调。 一直低着头。只在阴影中行走。 也没有引起任何注意。”

A slow smile spread across Sugar's face. "You're a fast learner." "But why did you follow us?" asked Dirt.

休格的脸上慢慢地绽开了笑容。 “你学得很快。”“可你为什么跟着我们？”泥土问。
