Chapter 7

Chapter 7 It's too far to the chicken coop!" yelled Dirt, struggling to see in the pouring rain. "We'll make a run for the rabbit hutch! Keep one wing on the fence —it will guide us to the other side of the yard! STAY CLOSE!" "The water is rising!" yelled Poppy, holding his wings up in the air to keep them dry. "Help!" A gust of wind lifted him off his feet and blew him ten feet back. Dirt, Sugar, and Sweetie ran back to him, fighting their way through the torrential rain. "Keep your wings down!!" Sugar yelled over the storm. "Otherwise, we'll blow all over the yard!"

第七章离鸡舍太远了！”泥土喊道，在倾盆大雨中挣扎着看东西。 “我们向兔子窝跑去！”把一只翅膀放在栅栏上——它会指引我们到院子的另一边！保持密切联系!”“水涨起来了！”波比喊道，他把翅膀举在空中不让它们沾湿。 “救命!”一阵风把他从站着的地方吹了起来，把他向后吹了十英尺。 泥土、小甜甜和小甜心跑回他身边，在倾盆大雨中奋力前行。 “把翅膀放下来！！”休格在暴风雨中大喊大叫。 “否则，我们会把整个院子吹得满地都是！”

"We need to tie ourselves together!" yelled Dirt. The wind blew her feathers straight back from her face. "With what?" asked Poppy. Dirt looked around frantically. "Our mustaches!" "Good thinking!" yelled Sugar. The chickens ripped the mustaches off one at a time. "Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!"

“我们得把自己绑在一起！”泥土喊道。 风把她脸上的羽毛吹向后面。 “用什么？”波比问。污垢疯狂地环顾四周。 “我们的胡子!”“好主意！”糖喊道。 鸡一个个地把胡子扯下来。 “哎哟!”“哎哟!”“哎哟!”“哎哟!”

Then they tied themselves together and trudged through the rain and the mud, fighting through the wind every step of the way. A giant puddle at the bottom of the rabbit-hutch ramp blocked their way. "Can we go through it?" yelled Sugar. Dirt tossed a rock into the puddle and watched it disappear beneath the surface. "Too deep!" "Head count!" yelled Dirt. "One!" The water rose up over their ankles. "I'm one!" yelled Sugar. "I'm always one! Start over!" The water rose up to the tips of their wings. "You can't always be one, Sugar! Head count starts with whoever who calls the head count! That's a rule of the wild!" "Do chickens float?" yelled Poppy. The water was up to their necks. "I think wild chickens can float!" said Sweetie. "Are we wild chickens?"

然后他们把自己绑在一起，在雨和泥中跋涉，每一步都要与风作斗争。 兔舍坡道底部的一个大水坑挡住了他们的去路。 “我们能穿过它吗？”休格喊道。 土把一块石头扔进水坑，看着它消失在水面下。 “太深!”“数人头！” “一个!”水涨到了他们的脚踝以上。 “我是一个！”糖喊道。“我永远是一个！”重新开始!”水一直涨到它们的翅膀尖。 “你不可能永远是一个人，甜心！点名从点名的人开始！这是野外的规则！”“鸡会浮在水面上吗？”波比喊道。 水没过他们的脖子。 “我觉得野鸡能浮起来！”甜心说。 “我们是野鸡吗？”

"Don't be ridiculous!" yelled Sugar. "We were born and raised in a heated box! We are not wild chickens!!" "Head count!" Dirt and Sugar yelled at the same time. "ONE!!" Dirt and Sugar called at the same time. "I AM A WILD CHICKEN!" yelled Poppy. He dove into the water and floated on his back, a marshmallow under each wing, kicking his legs as fast as he could.

“别傻了！”休格喊道。 “我们在一个加热的盒子里出生和长大！”我们不是野鸡！！”“人数!”泥土和糖同时喊道。 “一! !”土和糖同时打来电话。 “我是一只野鸡！”波比喊道。 他跳进水里，仰面漂浮着，两只翅膀下各夹着一块棉花糖，拼命地踢着腿。

"Head count!" he called. "ONE!" His mustache pulled Sweetie in right behind him. "TWO!" yelled Sweetie. "THREE!" yelled Sugar, following Sweetie. "FOUR!" yelled Dirt, following Sugar. Exhausted, Poppy crawled up the ramp, pulling on his mustache rope. One by one, the chickens pulled one another out of the water and then dragged one another to the top, diving into the rabbit hutch for cover. A blast of wind blew the door shut behind them. "I had no idea we could float!" said Sweetie.

“数人头！”他喊道。“一个!”他的小胡子把小甜心拉到了他身后。 “两个！”甜心叫道。“三！”甜甜跟着小甜甜叫道。 “四！”泥土跟着糖叫道。 筋疲力尽的波比爬上斜坡，拉着他的胡子绳。 小鸡们一个接一个地把对方从水里拉出来，然后把对方拖到水面上，钻进兔子窝里寻找掩护。 一阵大风把他们身后的门吹关上了。 “我不知道我们可以漂浮！”小甜心说。
