14 RUNNY NOSE

CHAPTER 14 RUNNY NOSE The octo-schnozz hopped down from the dam, landing in a cluster of palm trees. Alexander, Rip, and Nikki hid in a fake coral reef at hole #11.

八爪猫从堤坝上跳下来，落在一丛棕榈树上。 亚历山大、里普和妮基躲在11号洞的假珊瑚礁里。

The octo-schnozz snorfled its way to a trash can. Then FWOP! —a sharp eagle's beak popped out. It snipped through the trash can. Garbage spilled onto the putting green. "That's how it tore into the milk cooler!" Alexander whispered. FWOP! The eagle beak became a pig snout. With a happy grunt, the monster rooted through the garbage.

这只章鱼鼻子嗅着鼻子来到一个垃圾桶前。 然后FWOP !一只锋利的鹰嘴突然冒了出来。 它从垃圾桶里蹦了出来。 垃圾洒在果岭上。 “它就是这样撞进牛奶冷却器的！”亚历山大低声说。 FWOP !鹰嘴变成了猪鼻子。 怪物高兴地哼了一声，在垃圾里翻来翻去。

FWOP! Out popped a seal nose. The monster balanced the trash on its nose, and waddled over to the edge of the lagoon. "It's tossing garbage into the water!" said Nikki. The octo-schnozz looked out at the floating garbage and made an oinky-snort. "It sounds happy!" said Rip. Then the monster looked across the bay, and stopped oinking. It was staring at a skeleton ship with a huge cannon. The monster began hopping and grunting. "Why is it so worked up about that ship?" said Nikki.

FWOP !一只海豹的鼻子探了出来。 那怪物把垃圾顶在鼻子上，摇摇摆摆地走到泻湖边。 “它在往水里扔垃圾！”尼基说。 章鱼鼻子看着外面漂浮的垃圾，哼了一声。 “听起来很快乐！”瑞普说。 然后怪物朝海湾那边看了看，停止了哼哼。 它正盯着一艘带着巨大大炮的骷髅船。 怪物开始跳来跳去，咕噜着。 “为什么人们对那艘船这么激动？”妮基说。

Rip scratched his ears. "Cannons don't smell bad, do they?" "Rip, your blue spots are back!" said Alexander. "Maybe we should "Not now!" said Rip. "Let's go get this odor-eater!" Alexander, Rip, and Nikki watched the octo- schnozz charge toward the ship. The monster trampled a field of tropical flowers, and began to whimper. It steered away from the flowers, and continued toward the ship. Nikki snapped her fingers. "I have an idea!" She got to her feet. "I'll meet you on the ship!" Nikki turned and ran toward the lighthouse.

里普搔了搔耳朵。“大炮的气味不坏吧？”“里普，你的蓝色斑点又回来了！”亚历山大说。 “现在不行！”瑞普说。 “我们去抓这个臭家伙吧！”亚历山大、里普和妮基看着那只八爪怪朝船冲去。 那怪物踩了一片热带花丛，开始呜咽起来。 它离开了花丛，继续向船的方向驶去。 妮基打了个响指。 “我有个主意！”她站了起来。 “我们在船上见！”妮基转身向灯塔跑去。
