Chapter 5

Chapter 5 As Dirt, Sugar, Poppy, and Sweetie walked toward the car, their cousins lined up, single file, and followed behind. "What are we going to do about them?" asked Sweetie under her breath. Dirt stopped for a moment, considered the hundred or so chicken cousins standing behind them, and then felt her stomach gurgle. "I think we will be saved by the bell." "Cousin Belle?" asked Poppy. "Wait for it," replied Dirt. Sure enough, the dinner bell rang, and the line of chickens reversed direction and sped to the barnyard. Sugar, Poppy, Dirt, and Sweetie continued up the driveway.

当小土、小甜甜、波比和小甜甜走向汽车时，她们的表兄弟们排成一列，跟在后面。 “我们该怎么办呢？”小甜心低声问。 泥土停了一会儿，考虑着站在他们身后的一百多只鸡表兄弟，然后感到肚子咕咕叫。 “我想钟声会救我们的。” “贝尔表妹？”波比问。 “等着瞧。”泥土回答。 果然，开饭的铃响了，那一排鸡调转方向，飞快地奔向谷仓院子。 Sugar, Poppy， Dirt和Sweetie继续沿着车道前进。

"That's a very long dinner line," observed Dirt. "It will be at least an hour before anybody realizes we're not at the end of it." "I found something!" yelled Sweetie. "Over here! I found something! It's a giant shoe print!" The squad gathered at the back of the car. "Wait a minute!" cried Poppy, running in circles inside the car. "Where's my shoe? It was right here! MY SHOE IS GONE!" Poppy leaped out and tackled Sugar. "WHAT DID YOU DO WITH MY SHOE?"

“吃晚饭的队伍可真长啊。” “至少要过一个小时，人们才会意识到我们还没有结束。” “我发现了一些东西！” “在这里!我找到东西了！这是一个巨大的鞋印！”小队在汽车后面集合。 “等一下！”波比喊道，在车里绕着圈子跑着。 “我的鞋在哪儿？”它就在这里！我的鞋不见了！”波比跳了出来，抓住了休格。 “你把我的鞋怎么了？”

"It must have fallen out of the car when I was looking for jelly beans," Sugar answered. "Take it easy!" "You said Cousin Besnickle took the jelly beans!" said Poppy, pointing a finger in Sugar's face. "Befrizzle!! B-E-F-R— Never mind! This is a crime scene! The first thing we need to do is secure the area! Bring me a roll of police tape, some orange cones, and a high-definition camera!" "We don't have any of those things," answered Dirt. "Fine, we'll do it the easy way," said Sugar. "Try not to step on anything." "I can't sleep without my shoe!" cried Poppy, his lower beak quivering. "It's almost dark and I'm in a new place and I need my shoe!"

“一定是我找糖豆的时候从车里掉出来的，”糖糖回答说。 “别紧张！”“你说贝斯尼克表哥拿走了糖豆！”波比用手指着休格的脸说。 “Befrizzle ! !B-E-F-R -没关系！这是犯罪现场！我们要做的第一件事就是保护好这片区域！给我一卷警用胶带，一些橙色的锥体，还有一个高清摄像机！”“这些东西我们都没有。”泥土回答。 “好吧，我们就用简单的办法，”休格说。 “尽量不要踩到任何东西。” “没有鞋我睡不着！”波比叫道，他的下喙颤抖着。 “天快黑了，我到了一个新地方，我需要我的鞋子！”

"I promise I will get your shoe back," said Sugar. "And the jelly beans," added Sweetie. "Don't forget the jelly beans." "Believe it or not, I think you're on to something, Sweetie!" declared Sugar. "Since Befrizzle likes taking jelly beans from small, defenseless chickens so much, maybe he'll come looking for more...." Poppy, Sweetie, and Dirt gathered in a circle around Sugar. "All we need is a decoy to lure Befrizzle back to the scene," said Sugar. "Bring me a loofah sponge, a hot glue gun, and six yards of yellow chiffon."

“我保证会把你的鞋拿回来，”糖说。 “还有糖豆，”甜心补充道。 “别忘了糖豆。” “信不信由你，我觉得你说对了，亲爱的！”糖说。 “由于Befrizzle非常喜欢从弱小、毫无防御能力的鸡身上拿走糖豆，也许他会来找更多的....” Poppy， Sweetie和Dirt围着Sugar围成一圈。 “我们所需要的只是一个诱饵，把bezzzzle引回现场。”Sugar说。 “给我拿个丝瓜络海绵，一把热熔胶枪，还有六码黄色雪纺。”

"We still don't have any of those things," sighed Dirt. "Can't we just make a decoy out of loose feathers like you did before?" "Are you sure you didn't pack fabric and loofah sponges for the farm trip?" asked Sugar. "Positive," sighed Dirt. "Fine, we'll do it the easy way," said Sugar. "Grab up all the loose chicken feathers down by the house." She turned to Dirt. "And from

“我们仍然没有这些东西。”Dirt叹了口气。 “我们不能像你以前做的那样，用松散的羽毛做一个诱饵吗？”“你确定你没有为去农场旅行准备布料和丝瓜棉吗？”糖问道。 “肯定。”Dirt叹道。“好吧，我们就用简单的办法，”休格说。 “把房子旁边所有松散的鸡毛都捡起来。” 她转向泥土。”,从
