2 GET YOUR BAKED GOODS STRAIGHT

CHAPTER TWO GET YOUR BAKED GOODS STRAIGHT Franny watched out the window of her classroom as two workers carried a big, rusty piece of junk out of the school. She raised her hand. "Miss Shelly, what is that thing?" "It looks like the old furnace," her teacher said. "I think the school is getting a nice new one. The old one never worked very well." "They're not just going to throw that away, are they??" Franny squealed.

第二章准备好你的烘焙食品弗兰妮从教室的窗户看到两个工人把一大块生锈的垃圾搬出了学校。 她举起了手。“谢莉小姐，那是什么东西？”她的老师说：“它看起来像旧火炉。” “我想学校会有一个漂亮的新校舍。 旧的那台从来都不怎么好用。” “他们不会就这么扔了吧，是吗——？”弗兰妮叫苦不迭。

"I don't know what they're going to do with it, Franny-" Miss Shelly began, but before she could finish, Franny was out the door, down the hallway, and outside. She ran toward the workers, waving her arms. "Guys! Wait, wait! I can use that thing. Can I have it?" They chuckled at her.

“我不知道他们要怎么处理它，弗兰妮——”雪莉小姐刚要开口，她还没说完，弗兰妮就已经出了门，穿过走廊，走到了外面。 她挥舞着手臂向工人们跑去。 “男人!等等,等等!我可以用那个东西。 能给我吗？”他们对她咯咯地笑。

"What are you going to do with it?" one of them joked. "I'm not sure yet," Franny said, rubbing her hands over the surface of it. "But that is some good, heavy steel. I could make a lot of stuff from this." "Like what?" the other man asked. "Like, I could make a small tank, I think, or maybe a rocket-maybe some kind of robot. I'll invent something." "But this thing has already been invented," one of them said. "It's a furnace." "Then maybe I'll reinvent it," she told them.

“你打算拿它怎么办？”其中一个开玩笑说。 “我还不确定，”弗兰妮说，双手在它的表面摩擦。 “但那是很好的、很重的钢。 我可以用它做很多东西。” “比如说？”另一个人问。 “比如，我想我可以做一个小坦克，或者是一个火箭，或者是某种机器人。 我要发明一些东西。”“但是这个东西已经被发明出来了，”其中一个说。 “这是一个熔炉。”“也许我会重新发明它，”她告诉他们。

Miss Shelly walked out of the school to get Franny. When she got there, she found that the workers were laughing at her, and Franny didn't even seem to notice. "This little cupcake says she wants to make a rocket out of this," one of them said to Miss Shelly with a snicker. Miss Shelly smiled. "She can do that, you know." The worker sneered. He didn't believe Miss Shelly, either. Miss Shelly's face became very serious. "You remember that giant asteroid that crashed into the

谢利小姐走出学校去接弗兰尼。 当她到达那里时，她发现工人们都在嘲笑她，而弗兰尼似乎根本没有注意到。 “这个小蛋糕说她想用这个做个火箭，”其中一个对雪莉小姐窃笑着说。 谢利小姐笑了。“你知道，她能做到的。” 工人冷笑着说。他也不相信谢利小姐的话。 雪莉小姐的脸变得非常严肃。 “你还记得那颗巨大的小行星撞进

earth last month and destroyed half the planet?" "No," they said. "That's because this little cupcake here blew it out of the sky with a rocket she made out of a broken refrigerator and an old dollhouse," Miss Shelly said proudly. The workmen stared at Franny nervously. "Never underestimate a little cupcake. Lots of them are real smart cookies," Miss Shelly said.

摧毁了半个地球？”“不，”他们说。 “那是因为这个小蛋糕用她用一个破冰箱和一个旧玩具屋做的火箭把它炸飞了。”雪莉小姐自豪地说。 工人们紧张地盯着弗兰妮。 “永远不要低估一个小蛋糕。 很多都是非常聪明的饼干，”雪莉小姐说。

"So, can I have it?" Franny grinned. "You may have it," Miss Shelly said, "but you have to promise not to build anything destructive." "Nothing destructive! I promise!" Franny replied, clapping her hands. She turned to the workmen.

“那么，我可以拥有它吗？”弗兰妮笑了。 “你可以拥有它，”谢利小姐说，“但你必须保证不建造任何破坏性的东西。” “没有什么破坏性的!我保证!”弗兰妮拍着手回答。 她转向工人。
