THE CHICKEN SQUAD DARK SHADOWS Yes, Another Misadventure by DOREEN CRONIN ILLUSTRATED BY STEPHEN GILPIN

《是的，又是一次不幸的冒险》多琳·克罗宁著，斯蒂芬·吉尔平绘

Introductions In my search-and-rescue days, road trips meant danger, hard work, and with any luck, a rescue. My partner, Barbara, and I would hop in the car, hit the open road, and go wherever duty called. We didn't carry much more than a first-aid kit, some beef jerky, and a high- powered flashlight. Now when we hit the road, we pack jelly beans, a bag of chicken feed, and a birdcage full of trouble:

在我从事搜救工作的日子里，公路旅行意味着危险、艰苦的工作，运气好的话，还能获救。 我和我的搭档芭芭拉会跳上车，开上开阔的道路，去工作需要去的地方。 我们只带了一个急救箱、一些牛肉干和一个大功率手电筒。 现在，当我们上路的时候，我们会带上糖豆、一袋鸡饲料和一个装满麻烦的鸟笼。
