CHAPTER SIX The party was in full swing by the time the two strangers reached the town hall. They had followed the group from a safe distance and stopped on the way to dress up as clowns -the perfect disguise for a party!

当这两个陌生人到达市政厅时，聚会正进行得如火如荼。 他们从安全的距离跟着这群人，在路上停下来打扮成小丑——这是聚会的完美伪装！

Now they were peering through a window of the town hall. While the children played musical chairs and blind man's buff, the two men waited for their chance. The presents had been left on a table, unattended. 'Come on, Timmy,' Anne called. 'You can play too. But Timmy didn't want to join in the games. He had spotted the unwelcome visitors. 'Woof-woof!

made a break for it. But Timmy wasn't going to let them get away with the treasure. He grabbed the trouser leg of the thief with the box, who stumbled and fell into the other man. They both landed in a groaning heap on the floor. Timmy stood over the men, growling. They were caught!

逃跑了。但蒂米不会让他们带着宝藏逃走的。 他用箱子抓住了小偷的裤腿，小偷踉跄着摔倒在另一个人身上。 他们俩都呻吟着倒在地板上。 蒂米站在众人面前咆哮。 他们被抓住了！
