Chapter 1

Chapter 1 "A little help here!" Sugar yelled impatiently from the bottom of a hole in the yard. The hole was twice as tall as she was and three times as wide. "Hellooooooo!!" She leaned on her shovel and waited. A squirrel leaned in and dropped an acorn on her head. Sugar threw it back. "Ouch!" Dirt's face appeared at the top of the hole. "What are you doing down there, Sugar? And why are you throwing acorns at me?" "What does it look like I'm doing?" Sugar answered. "It looks like you threw an acorn at me and fell into a hole," Dirt replied, leaning in closer. "For your information, I didn't fall into this hole. I dug it myself."

第1章“帮个小忙！”糖不耐烦地从院子里的一个洞的底部喊道。 这个洞是她的两倍高，三倍宽。 “Hellooooooo ! !”她倚在铲子上等着。 一只松鼠凑过来，把一颗橡子扔在她头上。 糖把它扔了回去。“哎哟!”土的脸出现在洞的顶部。 “你在下面干什么呢，宝贝儿？” 你为什么向我扔橡子？”“你看我在干什么？”糖回答。 “看起来像是你朝我扔了一颗橡子，然后掉进了一个洞里。”泥土回答道，靠得更近了。 “告诉你，我没有掉到这个洞里。 我自己挖的。”

"Wait a minute.... Is that one of Barbara's spoons??" asked Dirt, leaning in closer still. "Look for yourself," Sugar replied, holding the spoon close enough for Dirt to touch—and then nudging her right into the ladle. "HEY!" said Dirt as Sugar tipped her out at the bottom of the hole. "What did you do that for?" "I couldn't get out of the hole on my own, and I am one hundred percent confident that you will get us out of here." "That would have been a lot easier to do from up there!" said Dirt, brushing herself off. "Now we have to wait for Poppy or Sweetie to get us out." "I'm not going to lie," said Sugar, "my confidence just dropped to about thirty-seven percent."

“等一下....那是芭芭拉的勺子吗——？”泥土问，靠得更近了。 “你自己去找吧，”休格回答道，把勺子拿得够近，好让小泥摸到，然后把她推到勺子里。 “嘿！”小土说，糖糖把她从洞底推了出来。 “你为什么要那样做？”“我一个人出不了这个洞，我有百分之百的信心，你会带我们出去的。” “要是在上面就容易多了！”泥土说，掸了掸身上的毛。 “现在我们只能等波比或小甜甜来救我们了。” “我不想说谎，”休格说，“我的信心刚刚降到百分之三十七左右。”

"I have an idea...," said Dirt. "Are you thinking that you climb into the spoon and I launch you out of here so you can find a rope long enough to pull me out of the hole?" "No," said Dirt. "I'm thinking if we lean the spoon at just the right angle, we might be able climb up the handle—" "HEY! Poppy!! I found them!" called Sweetie. "They're digging a hole for a pool! And there's a slide!!" Sweetie leaped into the air, and she slid down the handle of the spoon on her behind. "WHEEEEE!" "It's not a—!" yelled Sugar. Sweetie landed with a thud, flipping the spoon right out of the hole. "—pool," finished Sugar. "Wow," said Sweetie. "I thought that would be more fun. But I'm sure it will be way better when Poppy gets here with the floaties." "What?" asked Dirt and Sugar.

“我有个主意……泥土说。 “你是想让你爬进勺子里，然后我把你扔出去，这样你就能找到一根足够长的绳子把我从洞里拉出来吗？”“没有。”泥土说。 “我在想，如果我们把勺子倾斜到合适的角度，我们也许能爬上把手——”“嘿！罂粟! !我找到了！”甜心叫道。 “他们在挖洞建泳池！”还有滑梯！！”小甜甜跳到了空中，她把勺子的把手滑到了她的屁股上。 “WHEEEEE !”“这不是——！”休格嚷道。 “甜心”砰的一声落在地上，把勺子从洞里翻了出来。 “——池，”糖说完。 “哇，”甜心说。“我觉得那样会更有趣。 但我相信当波比带着花车来这里时，一切都会好得多。” “什么？”土和糖问。

"Wheeeeeeee!" Poppy's fluffy yellow body blocked the sun as he flew into the hole and landed on top of them. "Worst pool ever," mumbled Sweetie from the bottom of the pile.

“Wheeeeeeee !”波比毛茸茸的黄色身体挡住了阳光，飞进洞里，落在他们上面。 “史上最糟糕的泳池，”小甜心在池底咕哝着。
