Chapter 11

Chapter 11 A few seconds later, the princess, the knight, and the dragon were all safely outside the ogre's castle. But Princess Pulverizer knew it wouldn't be long before the ogre dug his way out of the pile of what was left of his treasures. And when he did, he was sure to come after them. "Okay, Dribble," she said. "The only thing left for you to do now is carry us to safety." "Why do I have to carry you guys?" Dribble asked her. "You can run all on your own."

几秒钟后，公主、骑士和恶龙都安全地来到了食人魔的城堡外面。 但普莱泽公主知道，要不了多久，食人魔就会从他剩下的财宝堆里挖出一条路来。 当他找到的时候，他肯定会来找他们。 “好的，运球。”她说。 “你现在唯一要做的就是把我们带到安全的地方。” “为什么要我背你们？”运球问她。 “你可以自己跑。”

"Yes, we can," Princess Pulverizer agreed. "But Lucas and I only have two feet each. You have four. You can move faster." Dribble thought about that for a moment. He was obviously unable to come up with an argument, because he finally said, "Okay, climb on." Lucas scrambled onto his friend's back. He climbed up high on Dribble's neck. "Please don't let me fall off," he begged. "Don't worry, pal," Dribble assured him. "I would never let anything happen to you." Princess Pulverizer climbed up the dragon's tail and onto his back. "Okay, Dribble!" she ordered. "Take us to the Queen of Shmergermeister!" It seemed to Princess Pulverizer that she and Lucas had been riding on Dribble's back for a

“是的，我们可以。” “可是卢卡斯和我每人只有两只脚。 你有四个。你可以走得更快。” 运球想了一会儿。 很明显，他无法提出一个论点，因为他最后说：“好吧，爬上去。” 卢卡斯爬到他朋友的背上。 他爬到运球的脖子上。 “请不要让我掉下去，”他恳求道。 “别担心，伙计。” “我不会让你出任何事的。” 粉碎机公主爬上龙的尾巴，爬到它的背上。 “好的，运球！”她命令道。 “带我们去见Shmergermeister女王！”在普莱丽公主看来，她和卢卡斯骑在运球背上已经有一段时间了

very long time. She was tired. And hungry. And very, very cranky. To make matters worse, Dribble was still feeling pretty gassy. So not only was the ride bumpy, it was smelly, too. "I sure could go for one of those grilled cheese sandwiches now," Princess Pulverizer grumbled. "I'm starving." "Don't complain," Dribble called back to her between huffs and puffs. "I'm the one doing all the work here. This is the longest road I've ever been on. Are you sure we're going in the right direction?" "The two women were definitely heading this way when I heard them talking about the queen's jewels," Princess Pulverizer told him. "And they were definitely from Shmergermeister." "I see a palace!" Lucas shouted out suddenly from his perch high atop Dribble's neck. "It's just up that big hill."

很长时间了。她累了。 又饿。而且非常非常暴躁。 更糟糕的是，运球仍然觉得很不舒服。 所以这趟旅程不仅颠簸，而且还很臭。 “我现在当然可以去吃一个烤奶酪三明治了，”粉碎公主抱怨道。 “我饿了。”“别抱怨。”小运球气喘吁吁地对她喊道。 “这里的活儿都是我干的。 这是我走过的最长的路。 你确定我们走的方向对吗？”“当我听到她们谈论女王的珠宝时，这两个女人肯定是朝这边走的，”普里尔泽公主告诉他。 “它们肯定来自Shmergermeister。” “我看见一座宫殿！”卢卡斯高高站在运球脖子上，突然喊道。 “就在那座大山上。”

"I can't climb another hill," Dribble groaned. "Sure you can," Princess Pulverizer said. "No, I can't," Dribble insisted. "My stomach hurts too badly. Probably because someone fed me way too much gruel." Princess Pulverizer frowned. Maybe she had gone a little too far with that last spoonful. "How about we take a break?" she suggested finally. "Dribble, you need the rest. And we could all use a little snack." "Not me," Dribble groaned as he let out another stinky burp. "I don't want to see food again for a long time." "Come on, just one little sandwich," the princess pleaded. She cocked her head to one side, smiled broadly, and crossed her eyes.

“我爬不上另一座山了。” “你当然可以。” “不，我不能。” “我的胃疼得厉害。 可能是因为有人给我喂了太多稀粥。” 粉碎机公主皱起了眉头。 也许她最后一勺吃得有点过了。 “我们休息一下怎么样？”她最后建议道。 “运球，你需要休息。 我们都可以吃点零食。” “不是我。”运球呻吟着，又打了一个臭烘烘的嗝。 “我很长时间都不想再看到食物了。” “来吧，就一小块三明治，”公主恳求道。 她把头歪向一边，灿烂地笑了笑，并交叉着眼睛。

"Are you okay?" Dribble asked her. "You look kind of ill." Princess Pulverizer frowned. Apparently, her special face had no effect on dragons. "I'm kind of hungry, too. If you wouldn't mind making a few little sandwiches, I'd really appreciate it, Dribble," Lucas asked politely. "Okay, pal, sure," Dribble said. "Since you asked so nicely." Princess Pulverizer was amazed. All Lucas had to do to get what he wanted was ask politely. Wow. Who would have thought that would work?

“你还好吗？”运球问她。 “你看起来有点不舒服。”粉碎机公主皱起了眉头。 显然，她那张特殊的脸对龙没有影响。 “我也有点饿了。“如果你不介意做一些三明治的话，我会很感激的，运球。”卢卡斯礼貌地问道。 “好吧，伙计，没问题。” “既然你问得那么好。” 粉碎机公主很惊讶。 卢卡斯要得到他想要的东西，只要礼貌地问就行了。 哇。谁会想到这有用呢？
