10 That’s No Jack-o’-Lantern

CHAPTER TEN THAT'S NO JACK-O'-LANTERN The Giant Monstrous Fiend stood there chewing gum and breathing angrily. Its head was a pumpkin, and its body looked like a crab's. It was wearing the old shoes, and it was just dripping with industrial waste.

第十章那不是南瓜灯巨大的恶魔站在那里，嘴里嚼着口香糖，气得喘不过气来。 它的头像个南瓜，身体像只螃蟹。 它穿着旧鞋，浑身都是工业废水。

Franny hoped it would just jump out the window and go away. And, to her surprise, the Pumpkin-Crab Monster jumped out the window and went away. Unfortunately it grabbed Miss Shelly before it left. With a crash and a scream, the Pumpkin-Crab Monster and her teacher were gone.

弗兰妮希望它能跳出窗外，然后走开。 让她吃惊的是，南瓜蟹怪跳出了窗户，走了。 不幸的是，它在离开前抓住了谢利小姐。 随着一声巨响和一声尖叫，南瓜蟹怪和她的老师走了。

The kids just stood there. They didn't know how to help. A few tried crying. A few tried screaming. One tried wetting his pants, although later on he admitted he had no idea why he thought that might help. Some of Franny's new friends hugged her and shrieked, but Franny didn't shriek. Franny thought.

孩子们只是站在那里。 他们不知道怎么帮忙。 有几个人想哭。有几个人试着尖叫。 一个人试着尿裤子，尽管后来他承认他不知道为什么他认为这可能有帮助。 弗兰尼的一些新朋友抱着她尖叫，但弗兰尼没有尖叫。 弗兰尼的想法。

Out the window the Pumpkin-Crab Monster was climbing the flagpole with Miss Shelly. There was no way that Miss Shelly was going to get away from that monster thing. It was holding her tight, and it was climbing higher and higher.

窗外南瓜蟹怪正和谢利小姐一起爬旗杆。 谢利小姐是不可能摆脱那个怪物的。 它紧紧地抱着她，爬得越来越高。

Franny looked at her friends. She really liked them, and she was happy they liked her. She had hoped they would always be her friends, but still she knew what she had to do. Franny reached into her backpack and pulled out a vial. It said ANTIDOTE on it.

弗兰妮看着她的朋友们。 她真的很喜欢他们，她很高兴他们喜欢她。 她希望他们永远是她的朋友，但她仍然知道她必须做什么。 弗兰妮把手伸进背包，拿出一个小瓶子。 上面写着解毒剂。

"Uh, guys," she said gently. "If you all get your lunches, I think I know what we might be able to do." The kids ignored her. They just ran around in little circles, getting more and more scared and confused.

“呃，伙计们，”她温柔地说。 “如果你们都能吃上午餐，我想我知道我们能做些什么了。” 孩子们不理她。他们只是在兜圈子，越来越害怕，越来越困惑。
