10 Working Like a Dog

CHAPTER TEN WORKING LIKE A DOG Late that night Franny sat at her desk staring at the Cupid card. She still had a lot of work to do if she was going to get cards for everyone done on time, but her heart just wasn't in it. "I'm tired," she said, and tossed the card aside. "I'll finish the rest tomorrow." Igor watched quietly, but he really, really, really, really, really, really wanted to help.

那天深夜，弗兰尼坐在书桌前，盯着丘比特的卡片。 如果她想按时给每个人发卡片，她还有很多工作要做，但她的心不在这里。 “我累了，”她说，把卡片扔到一边。 “我明天再把剩下的写完。” 伊戈尔静静地看着，但他真的、真的、真的、真的、真的、真的很想帮忙。

He walked around the room looking at Franny's marvelous experiments in progress and reminded himself not to touch them. He couldn't think of anything to do, until he noticed, up on Franny's desk, his little rubber ball.
