4 EASY BAKE

CHAPTER FOUR EASY BAKE Franny listened to some music as she stirred together cookie ingredients inside a big blue bowl. "Seriously, Igor, how difficult can baking be? You take some flour, add some sugar, toss it in the oven, and boom! You have delicious cookies, right?" Igor smiled and nodded. He had total faith in Franny's baking skills. Three hours later, the kitchen was a mess, and most of the cookies Franny had made were either raw,

弗兰妮一边听着音乐，一边在一个蓝色的大碗里搅拌饼干的配料。 “说真的，伊戈尔，烘焙能有多难？” 你拿一些面粉，加一些糖，扔进烤箱，砰！你有好吃的饼干，对吧？”伊戈尔微笑着点点头。 他完全相信弗兰妮的烘焙技术。 三个小时后，厨房一片狼藉，弗兰尼做的大部分饼干要么是生的，

burnt, or just plain nasty. Only one of them had turned out okay. She dropped it in Igor's dish and let him eat it. "I give up," Franny said. "This is too hard." Igor ran and got a painting he had recently finished and waved it at Franny.

烧焦了，或者就是很脏。 他们中只有一个人没事。 她把它掉在伊戈尔的盘子里，让他吃了。 “我放弃了，”弗兰妮说。“这太难了。” 伊戈尔跑去拿了一幅他最近刚完成的画，向弗兰妮挥了挥。

"You're reminding me that this is all about the art, right?" Franny said, taking off her apron. Igor nodded. "And how I told them I would help…" Igor barked.

"Okay," Franny said. "I get it. We won't let our art friends down. But it's clear that I'm not much of a baker. If I'm going to do this, I'm going to have to do this MY WAY. Igor, to the laboratory!" Igor gulped. Franny always got that look in her eye when she was about to do something experimental.

“好吧，”弗兰妮说。“我明白了。 我们不会让我们的艺术朋友失望的。 但很明显我不擅长烘焙。 如果我要这么做，我就得按我的方式来。 伊戈尔，到实验室去！”伊戈尔一饮而尽。 每当弗兰妮要做什么实验时她的眼神总是那样。
