13 A MILE IN YOUR SHOES

CHAPTER 13 A MILE IN YOUR SHOES In a matter of weeks, the medicated mosquitos managed to get everywhere, and pretty soon everybody had recovered and things went back to normal. "I don't think I want to do any more mixing for a while," Franny said. "But before I take this thing apart, I'd like to try one last mix." The Mixer-Upper whirred for a moment then and made the ding sound like a microwave oven.

在几个星期的时间里，服过药的蚊子到处都是，很快大家都恢复了健康，一切都恢复了正常。 “我想我暂时不想再混了，”弗兰尼说。 “但在我拆开这个东西之前，我想试最后一次混合。” 搅拌器旋鸣了一会儿，发出像微波炉一样的响声。

There was a hiss and the door opened, and a very strange figure stepped out. It was Franny and Igor, mixed together.

随着一阵嘶嘶声，门开了，一个非常奇怪的身影走了出来。 是弗兰妮和伊戈尔混在一起。

Their two bodies were mixed together, but so were their two minds. They could hear through each other's ears, see through each other's eyes. "WOW. This fur is really itchy. I can't believe that you ever stop scratching yourself!" After walking around for only a few minutes, they were ready to be unmixed. They hit a few buttons and stepped back into the machine.

他们的两个身体混在一起，但他们的两个思想也混在一起。 他们可以通过对方的耳朵听到，通过对方的眼睛看到。 “哇。这皮毛真痒。 我真不敢相信你竟然不挠自己！”只走了几分钟，他们就准备好了。 他们按了几个按钮，然后回到机器里。

There was a whirr and a ding, and the door creaked open again.

“呼”的一声和“叮”的一声，门又吱吱地打开了。

Franny gave Igor a big hug and said, "Why don't you go play or something while I take this thing apart?" Franny watched as he got out one of his puzzles and made space on the table to put it together. She felt like she understood him better, after being all mixed up with him for a minute. She set down her wrench and joined him. "I'll bust that thing up later," she said. "I get why you like puzzles now. It feels good to work on a problem that you KNOW can be solved. Can I do one with you?" Igor smiled and made room for her at the table. "I wanted to apologize, so I made you a special puzzle," Franny said.

弗兰妮给了伊戈尔一个大大的拥抱，说：“我把这东西拆开，你为什么不去玩呢？”弗兰尼看着他拿出一个拼图，在桌子上腾出地方拼起来。 在和他混在一起一分钟之后，她觉得自己更了解他了。 她放下扳手，走到他身边。 “我一会儿就把那东西打碎，”她说。 “我现在明白你为什么喜欢拼图了。 在一个你知道可以解决的问题上工作感觉很好。 我能和你一起喝一杯吗？”伊戈尔笑了笑，在餐桌旁给她腾出了位置。 “我想道歉，所以我给你做了一个特别的谜题，”弗兰尼说。

"I used a painting you made of us together. It's pretty much my favorite painting in the whole world." The two worked on the new puzzle for hours and hours. Even Franny's mom, who was no longer a toad, sat down and helped.

“我用了一幅你画的我们在一起的画。 这几乎是我在这个世界上最喜欢的画。” 这两个人花了好几个小时做这个新拼图。 就连不再是癞蛤蟆的弗兰尼的妈妈也坐下来帮忙。
