11 DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD

CHAPTER 11 DON'T LOSE YOUR HEAD GRRRAAAAARR!" "That sounds loud— and close," Nikki whispered from the belly of the Battle Burro. Alexander squinted through the costume's peepholes. "We're here," he said. They stood in the school parking lot. It was empty, except for one school bus. Behind the bus, Alexander could see the long crack running down Stermont Elementary. He turned his shoulders, craning the Burro's neck around. He could see a mound of shaggy, colorful stuff.

第十一章别昏了头，奶奶！”“听起来很响——很近，”妮基在战斗Burro的肚子里低声说。 亚历山大眯着眼睛透过戏服的窥视孔往里看。 “我们在这里，”他说。他们站在学校的停车场里。 除了一辆校车外，里面空无一人。 在公共汽车后面，亚历山大可以看到一条长长的裂缝延伸到斯特蒙特小学。 他转过肩膀，把驴子的脖子伸了过来。 他能看到一堆杂乱的、五颜六色的东西。

"What do you see?" asked Rip. "It looks like... a big leaf pile," said Alexander. He gasped. It wasn't a pile of leaves. It was the monster's foot. "Guys," he whispered. "We found the P-rex." Alexander tilted the Burro's head back to get a better look. The P-rex was covered in colorful strips of paper. It also had tiny arms, a long tail, and teeth the size of tombstones. BOOM. BOOM. The P-rex took two giant steps away. Alexander felt the ground shake with each step.

“你看到了什么？”瑞普问。 “看起来……一大堆树叶，”亚历山大说。 他气喘吁吁地说。那不是一堆树叶。 那是怪物的脚。 “伙计们，”他低声说。“我们找到了P-rex。” 亚历山大把驴子的头向后倾斜，以便看得更清楚。 P-rex被五颜六色的纸条覆盖着。 它的手臂很小，尾巴很长，牙齿有墓碑那么大。 繁荣。繁荣。这头P-rex离开了两大步。 亚历山大每走一步都感到地面在震动。

"I don't think it saw us," whispered Alexander. "What's it doing?" asked Rip. "I think it's... playing," said Alexander. The P-rex picked up the empty school bus and pushed it around like a toy. "Hmm..." said Alexander. "Let's make our move now, while it's distracted." He lowered the Battle Burro's neck into charge position. "Ready?" The Burro's head bobbled as it tiptoed toward the P-rex. "Attack now?" asked Nikki. "Not yet," said Alexander. "We need to get a little closer." CRUNCH! Alexander stepped on a crackly candy bar. The P-rex looked up, growling. It squeezed the bus in its claw. The stop sign popped out. "Guys!" Alexander shouted. "It sees us!" The friends froze.

“我想它没看见我们。”亚历山大小声说。 “它在干什么？”瑞普问。 “我认为……玩。”亚历山大说。 P-rex捡起空校车，像玩具一样推来推去。 “嗯……”亚历山大说。“趁它分心，我们现在就行动吧。” 他把战驴的脖子放低到冲锋的位置。 “准备好了吗?”驴子蹑手蹑脚地朝P-rex走去，脑袋晃来晃去。 “现在进攻？”尼基问。 “还没有。”亚历山大说。 “我们需要更接近一点。” 危机!亚历山大踩到了一块易碎的糖果棒。 霸王龙抬起头，咆哮着。 它用爪子挤公共汽车。 停车标志突然出现了。“男人!”亚历山大喊道。 “它看见我们了！”朋友们僵住了。

The P-rex tossed the bus aside and stomped over to the Battle Burro. It leaned down, sniffing the Burro's head. The monster's snout blocked Alexander's peepholes. The inside of the costume went dark. Alexander tugged a string in the Battle Burro's jaw. The Battle Burro smiled. The P-rex smiled back. "Looks like our plan worked," Alexander whispered. "The P-rex thinks we're a little pinata monster!" "Yes!" Nikki whispered. "HA!" Rip shouted. "WHAT A DUMMY The P-rex stopped smiling. "Rip," said Alexander, "I think it heard GLOMP! The P-rex clamped its jaws around the Battle Burro. And ripped its head off.

霸王龙把巴士扔到一边，跺着脚向战驴走去。 它俯下身，嗅着驴子的头。 怪物的鼻子堵住了亚历山大的窥视孔。 服装的内部变暗了。 亚历山大把一根绳子拉到战驴的下巴上。 战驴笑了。霸王龙也笑了。 “看来我们的计划成功了。”亚历山大低声说。 “霸王龙以为我们是皮纳塔怪兽”“是的!”妮可低声说。 “哈!”Rip喊道。“真蠢！”霸王龙停止了微笑。 “里普，”亚历山大说，“我想它听到了glp ！P-rex咬住了Battle Burro。 把它的头扯下来。
