23 And That’s That

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE AND THAT'S THAT Miss Shelly and the kids looked out the window. It looked like a giant brown mountain had suddenly appeared in front of the school. "Happy Valentine's Day," Franny said as she walked in. She handed her cards to Miss Shelly and the kids. "Franny!" Miss Shelly said. "Are you responsible for that, that thing out there?" "I am," Franny said. "Happy Valentine's Day. It's for you."

第二十三章就是这样，雪莉小姐和孩子们向窗外望去。 就像一座巨大的棕色大山突然出现在学校面前。 “情人节快乐，”弗兰妮走进来说。 她把卡片递给雪莉小姐和孩子们。 “弗兰妮!”谢利小姐说。 “你对外面的那个东西负责吗？”“是的，”弗兰妮说。 “情人节快乐。这是给你的。”

"For me?" Miss Shelly said. "Really, Franny, I don't know what that thing is, but I'm quite sure I don't want it." "Suit yourself," Franny said smiling. "But it's not a 'thing.'

“给我的?”谢利小姐说。 “真的，弗兰尼，我不知道那是什么东西，但我很确定我不想要它。” “随你便，”弗兰妮笑着说。 “但这不是一件‘事’。

"It's a chocolate-covered cherry." Miss Shelly gasped "You said something about candy." Miss Shelly and the kids went outside for a closer look, and Miss Shelly let them dig in.

“这是一个巧克力覆盖的樱桃。” 雪莉小姐喘着气说：“你刚才说到糖果了。” 雪莉小姐和孩子们到外面去仔细看，雪莉小姐让他们吃东西。

"It looks like you were hit with one of Cupid's arrows," Miss Shelly said with a happy wink as she enjoyed a taste of the candy. "I thought so too," Franny said seriously, "but after a complete examination, I found that I wasn't even nicked. "No, Miss Shelly, there's something strange at work here, a phenomenon I just can't explain. It could take me months to unravel this."

“看起来你像是被丘比特的箭射中了，”雪莉小姐一边享受着糖果的味道，一边高兴地眨着眼睛说。 “我也这么想，”弗兰妮严肃地说，“但经过全面检查后，我发现我甚至没有被划伤。 “不，谢利小姐，这里有一些奇怪的东西在起作用，一种我无法解释的现象。 我可能要花几个月的时间来解开这个谜团。”

"Months," Miss Shelly said, and she watched as Franny, Igor, and the kids slurped up the giant chocolate-covered cherry. She opened the envelope that Franny had given her and looked at the card inside. Miss Shelly— He's the scariest thing in the world, but I know you like him. So, here's your cupid— love franny And Miss Shelly felt that same strange surge of power that Franny had felt crackle through her from head to toe. "Happy Valentine's Day, Franny," she whispered.

“好几个月了。”雪莉小姐说。她看着弗兰妮、伊戈尔和孩子们狼吞虎咽地吃着那颗巨大的巧克力樱桃。 她打开弗兰尼给她的信封，看了看里面的卡片。 雪莉小姐-他是世界上最可怕的东西，但我知道你喜欢他。 这就是你的丘比特之爱弗兰尼。雪莉小姐感到了一股奇异的力量，就像弗兰尼从头到脚感受到的一样。 “情人节快乐，弗兰尼，”她低声说。
