Fairy Spell #2 SPAGHETTERIDOO!

精灵咒语#2意大利面！

The Great Pasta Playdate My best friends, Tom and Lenka, were coming to my house on Saturday, and I was so excited! At school on Friday, we made a plan for the playdate. Lenka was bringing her puppet theater, and we were going to put on a show. The story was about a princess and a prince and a scary dragon, because those are the puppets Lenka has. Tom said he would be the scary dragon. But Lenka wanted to be the scary dragon too, and so did I. We all started to get frustrated—until Lenka said, "Why don't we take turns being the scary dragon?"

我最好的朋友汤姆和伦卡星期六要来我家，我很兴奋！星期五在学校，我们制定了一个游戏约会计划。 兰卡带来了她的木偶剧，我们准备表演一场。 故事讲的是一个公主、一个王子和一条可怕的龙，因为这是伦卡的木偶。 汤姆说他将扮演可怕的龙。 但伦卡也想成为可怕的龙，我也是。 我们都开始感到沮丧——直到Lenka说：“为什么我们不轮流扮演可怕的龙呢？”

Lenka is good at fixing arguments. Then Zoe came past. She tossed her head and said, "Your stupid playdate sounds really boring." Zoe always says mean things like that, which is why she is my Not-Best Friend. I ignored her, because Mom says it is always best to ignore mean people. But then Zoe added, "Ella's house is really weird. Her whole family is weird." And she wrinkled her nose as though she could smell something bad. I got really mad then. "My house is not weird!" "Yes it is. It's weird and strange," Zoe said. Then Tom stepped in. "You're weird and strange, Zoe."

Lenka擅长解决争论。 然后佐伊走了过来。她摇了摇头，说：“你那愚蠢的玩伴听起来真无聊。” 佐伊总是说那样刻薄的话，所以她才不是我最好的朋友。 我没理她，因为妈妈说忽视刻薄的人总是最好的。 但佐伊接着说：“艾拉的房子真的很奇怪。 她全家都很奇怪。” 她皱起鼻子，好像闻到了什么不好的味道。 我当时真的很生气。“我的房子一点也不奇怪！”“是的。 这很奇怪，”佐伊说。 然后汤姆插了进来。“你很奇怪，很奇怪，佐伊。”

Lenka and I giggled, and Tom started laughing too. Zoe's eyes went very small and angry. "I'm telling Miss Amy on you!" she screamed. Then she ran off, but I knew she wouldn't tell Miss Amy, because then we would tell her who started it. Once we stopped giggling, Tom turned to me. "Are we still having spaghetti at your house this weekend, Ella?" "Of course!" I had told Mom lots of times that Tom and Lenka's favorite food was spaghetti, and she had promised to make it. I love spaghetti too. (Except not when it has cheese on it.) "Yum!" Tom said. "I'm going to bring my special spaghetti fork. It has a battery and it twirls around and around and it's awesome." I couldn't wait to see Tom's spaghetti fork and I couldn't wait to put on the puppet show. It was going to be the best playdate ever!—

伦卡和我咯咯地笑，汤姆也笑了起来。 佐伊的眼睛变小了，充满了愤怒。 “我要向艾米小姐告发你！”她尖叫道。 然后她就跑了，但我知道她不会告诉艾米小姐，因为那样我们就会告诉她是谁先动手的。 我们停止咯咯笑后，汤姆转向我。 “这个周末我们还在你家吃意大利面吗，艾拉？”“当然!”我跟妈妈说过很多次，汤姆和伦卡最喜欢的食物是意大利面，她答应做意大利面。 我也喜欢意大利面。（除非上面有奶酪。）“好吃!”汤姆说。 “我要带上我特制的意大利面叉。 它有一个电池，它可以不停地旋转，真是太棒了。” 我迫不及待地想看汤姆的意大利面叉子，我迫不及待地想表演木偶戏。 这将是有史以来最棒的一次玩耍约会！- - - - - -

On Saturday I woke up really early and gazed at my unicorn poster for a while. I love my unicorn poster. Then I got up and looked around the house. It didn't look strange or weird—but it did look messy. So I decided to do something about it. "Come on, Wardrobe!" I said. "We're going to clean up." Wardrobe is my magic pet wardrobe. I'm training it to do what I say. It's a bit like having a

星期六，我起得很早，盯着我的独角兽海报看了一会儿。 我喜欢我的独角兽海报。然后我站起来环顾了一下房子。 它看起来并不奇怪或怪异，但它看起来确实很乱。 所以我决定做点什么。 “加油，衣柜！”我说。 “我们要清理一下。” 衣柜是我的神奇宠物衣柜。 我在训练它听我的话。 这有点像

dog, except Wardrobe is more wooden than a dog and doesn't say "Woof." Wardrobe followed me around the house on its little legs. I picked up books, toys and odd socks off the floor and threw them into Wardrobe. Wardrobe helped by swinging open its doors to catch things and shuffling things along with its feet.

狗，只不过衣柜比狗还木头，不会说“汪” 衣橱用它的小腿儿跟着我在屋子里转来转去。 我把地上的书、玩具和奇怪的袜子捡起来，扔进衣橱。 衣柜通过打开门来接东西，用脚拖着东西走。
