Chapter 5

Chapter 5 "A little bird told me you were on your way," answered Knuckles, reaching out for the Sweetie ball of yarn and rolling it back and forth between her two front paws while the birds chirped overhead. "For starters, you can roll that ball of chicken over to Zippy," said Sugar. Knuckles obliged. "We're looking for someone," said Sugar. "Wondering if you happened to see Barbara come by the park this morning." "Your Barbara?" replied Knuckles. "Yes," said Dirt. "The Barbara in your house?" asked Knuckles. "The one who feeds you and takes care of you?"

第五章“一只小鸟告诉我，你要来了。”Knuckles回答说着，伸手去拿小甜甜的毛线团，用两只前爪把它来回滚来滚去，鸟儿们在头顶上叽叽喳喳地叫着。 “首先，你可以把那个鸡肉球滚给齐皮士，”糖糖说。 指关节义务。“我们在找一个人，”休格说。 “不知道你今天早上有没有碰巧看到芭芭拉来公园。” “你的芭芭拉？” “是的。”泥土说。“你家里的那个芭芭拉？” “那个养活你，照顾你的人？”

"Yes," said Poppy. "Tall lady? Brown hair? Pretty blue eyes? Smells like gardenias?" asked Knuckles. "Bingo," said Sugar. "Drives the silver pickup truck?" asked Knuckles. "Same one," said Sugar. "Lactose intolerant?" asked Knuckles. "Apparently so," said Sugar. "Has a sister in Buffalo?" asked Knuckles. "Did not know that," remarked Sugar. "YES. THE SAME ONE!" shrieked Zippy. "How many Barbaras do you know?!" A long,

“是的，”波比说。“高夫人? 棕色的头发吗?漂亮的蓝眼睛？ 闻起来像栀子花？”Knuckles问。 “答对了。”糖说。“开那辆银色小货车？” “是一样的，”糖说。“乳糖不耐症？”Knuckles问。 “显然是这样，”糖说。 “你在布法罗有个妹妹吗？” “我还不知道呢，”糖说。 “是的。就是那个！”齐皮士尖叫道。 “你认识多少个巴巴？！”很长,

steady whistle came out through his teeth. "Well, if you're sure that's the Barbara you mean, I can confirm she has not been in the park today." "Thanks, Knuckles," said Sugar. "Did you happen to see anything... out of the ordinary this morning?" asked Dirt. "Well," answered Knuckles, "those blue and white streamers on the telephone pole aren't usually there." "Interesting," said Sugar. "Anything else?" "Well, the park is empty this morning, and that's unusual," said Knuckles. "You're right. That is weird," said Dirt. "It's a beautiful Saturday morning, and there's nobody in the park." "Wait a minute," said Sugar. "Anna was up early this morning, Barbara isn't where she's supposed to be, we haven't seen Mom or J. J., and there isn't one kid in the park." Dirt rolled her eyes. "Did you hear anything unusual?" asked

从他的牙缝里传出稳定的哨声。 “嗯，如果你确定那就是你说的芭芭拉，我可以证实她今天没有去过公园。” “谢谢你，Knuckles。”糖说。 “你有没有碰巧看到什么……” 今天早上有什么不寻常的吗？”泥土问。 “嗯，”Knuckles回答说，“电线杆上那些蓝白相间的飘带通常是不存在的。” “有意思，”糖说。 “还有别的事吗?”“嗯，今天早上公园是空的，这是不寻常的。” “你是对的。这太奇怪了。” “这是一个美丽的周六早晨，公园里一个人也没有。” “等一下，”糖说。 “安娜今天早上起得很早，芭芭拉不在她应该在的地方，我们还没有看到妈妈和J。 而且公园里一个孩子也没有。” 泥土翻了她的眼睛。“你听到什么不寻常的事了吗？

Sugar. "Like a Ra-BUM! Ra-BUM! Ra-BUM!?" "Nope," said Knuckles. "How about rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat, rat- a-tat-tat?" asked Sugar. "No," said Knuckles. "But I did hear a Ba- Ba-rum, Ba-Ba-rum, Ba-ba-rum." "Not a Ra-BUM! Ra-BUM! Ra-BUM!?" asked Sugar. "Nope, definitely not that," answered Knuckles, walking away. "Hey, Knuckles," Sugar called after her. "You didn't happen to see a headless bear in the park today, did you?" "A headless bear?" replied Knuckles. "Yes, a headless bear," answered Sugar. "Big, brown thing?" asked Knuckles. "Yes," Sugar answered. "Long claws, kinda grumbly?" asked Knuckles.

糖。“像个拉- bum !”Ra-BUM !Ra-BUM ! ?”“没有。”Knuckles说。 “咚咚咚咚，咚咚咚咚，咚咚咚咚怎么样？”糖问道。 “不。”Knuckles说。“但我确实听到了‘巴——巴——朗’，‘巴——巴——朗’，‘巴——朗’。” “不是一个Ra-BUM!”Ra-BUM !？”糖问道。 “不，绝对不是那个。”Knuckles回答着走开了。 “嘿，Knuckles。”休格在她身后喊道。 “你今天不会碰巧在公园里看到一只无头熊吧？”“一只无头熊？” “是的，一只无头熊，”休格回答。 “棕色的大东西？” “是的，”糖回答。“长长的爪子，有点怪吗？”

"Yes," answered Sugar. "Lives in the woods and never ever in a local park?" added Dirt. "And almost always with a head." "Come to think of it," said Knuckles, "I did see a headless bear in the park this morning."

“是的，”糖回答。“住在树林里，从来没有去过当地的公园？” “而且几乎都是带头的。” “我想起来了，”Knuckles说，“今天早上我确实在公园里看到了一只无头熊。”
