Chapter 10

Chapter 10 "That's the last of them," Lucas said as he locked a small sheep into a barn near the center of Ire-Mire-Briar-Shire. "Herding animals sure is hard work," Princess Pulverizer remarked.

“这是最后一只了。”卢卡斯一边说，一边把一只小绵羊锁进了位于荆棘郡中心附近的一个谷仓里。 “放牧动物确实是一项艰苦的工作，”普莱尔公主说。

Dribble gave her a look. "What did you do? I'm the one who was running around getting them to move. You were just sitting on my back." "I was yelling 'giddyap,'" she reminded him. "My throat is scratchy." Dribble rolled his eyes. The farmers of Ire-Mire-Briar-Shire had all gathered around Princess Pulverizer and her friends. The princess turned and greeted them. "We are glad that we could return all your animals to you," she told them with a big smile. But the farmers did not smile back. Neither did the shopkeepers, the children, or the mayor. They all had sour looks on their faces. This was not what the princess had expected at all. "What's wrong?" Lucas asked. "It's this stink in the air," the mayor explained. "That's the smell of spoiled cheese," Dribble told him. "And griffin gas." "Griffins pass a lot of gas," Princess Pulverizer added. "You can smell it for miles."

运球看了她一眼。“你做了什么？” 是我让他们搬家的。 你刚才坐在我背上。” “我在喊‘giddyap’，”她提醒他。 “我嗓子沙哑。”运球翻了个白眼。 火炭野蔷薇郡的农民们都聚集在普磨尔泽公主和她的朋友们身边。 公爵小姐转过身来迎接他们。 “我们很高兴能把你们所有的动物都还给你们，”她笑着对他们说。 但农民们并没有报以微笑。 店主、孩子们和市长也不知道。 他们脸上都带着愁容。 这完全不是公主所期望的。 “怎么了?”卢卡斯问道。 “空气中弥漫着恶臭，”市长解释道。 “那是变质奶酪的味道。” “还有狮鹫毒气。”“狮鹫会释放很多气体。” “几英里外都能闻到。”

"How do you expect us to live like this?" an old woman asked the princess. "Could you live like this?" Princess Pulverizer frowned. No, she could not. But that wasn't the point. She had done what she had said she would do. Sure, it hadn't turned out perfectly. But she had brought the animals back. She had done her good deed. She was supposed to get praise and cheers, maybe a key to the village, and some roses, and... ROSES! That was it. "I can fix this smelly situation," Princess Pulverizer told the mayor. "Easy peasy." "I hate when she says that," Dribble whispered to Lucas. "It usually means she takes it easy while I do the work." "All you have to do is plant flowers," Princess Pulverizer told the mayor. "Lots and lots of flowers. And pine trees. Pine smells nice. Then the nice smells will block out the bad ones." "That's a wonderful idea," the mayor declared.

“你要我们怎么过这样的生活？”一位老妇人问公主。 “你能这样生活吗？”粉碎机公主皱起了眉头。 不，她不能。但这不是重点。 她已经做到了她说过要做的事。 当然，结果并不完美。 但是她把动物们带回来了。 她做了件好事。 她应该得到赞扬和欢呼，也许是一把村庄的钥匙，一些玫瑰，还有…… 玫瑰!就是这样。“我可以解决这个臭问题，”普瓦瑞尔公主告诉市长。 “容易peasy。”“我讨厌她这么说。”运球小声对卢卡斯说。 “这通常意味着她在我干活的时候放轻松。” “你所要做的就是种花，”粉碎公主告诉市长。 “很多很多的花。 还有松树。松木闻起来很香。 这样，好的气味就会挡住难闻的气味。” “这是个好主意，”市长宣布。

Princess Pulverizer stood tall. She was quite pleased with herself. "Except for one thing," the mayor continued. Princess Pulverizer slumped. She did not like the sound of that. "We don't have a lot of flowers or pine trees in Ire-Mire-Briar-Shire," the mayor explained. Princess Pulverizer scowled. Honestly, did she have to do everything for these people? "You can buy them from neighboring villages," she told the mayor. "Or transplant some trees from the forest." "That's a wonderful idea!" the mayor of Ire-Mire-Briar-Shire declared again. "Except for one other thing." "And what's that?" Princess Pulverizer asked. "Who here is strong enough to carry a tree?" the mayor replied. "Oh, that's easy," Princess Pulverizer said. "Dribble is strong. He can carry trees." Dribble shook his head. "See what I mean? She says easy peasy and I do all the work." Lucas looked at Princess Pulverizer. "You're going to help plant flowers, too, right?" he

粉碎机公主站得很高。 她对自己很满意。 “除了一件事，”市长继续说。 粉碎机公主瘫倒在地。 她不喜欢听这句话。 市长解释说：“在艾尔-米尔-布莱尔郡，我们没有很多花和松树。 粉碎机公主皱起了眉头。 老实说，她必须为这些人做所有的事吗？ “你可以从邻村买到，”她对市长说。 “或者从森林里移植一些树。” “这真是个好主意！”荒野郡的市长再次宣布。 “除了一件事。” “那是什么？”粉碎机公主问。 “这里谁有力气搬得动一棵树？”市长回答。 “哦，这很简单。” “运球很强大。他能搬树。” 运球摇了摇头。“明白我的意思了吧？” 她说很容易，我做所有的工作。” 卢卡斯看着粉碎机公主。 “你也要帮忙种花，对吧？”他说

asked her. Princess Pulverizer frowned. She hadn't planned on planting. She had planned on being in charge of the other people planting. But now that everyone was staring at her... "Sure," she agreed. "Of course. Knights don't mind getting their hands dirty when they have to." Dribble gave her a smile. "That's more like it," he told her. With everyone working together, it didn't take long for Ire-Mire-Briar-Shire to start smelling sweet. And the flowers brought an extra bonus— honeybees. Hundreds of them were buzzing all around the flowers. "You're going to have a lot of honey soon," Princess Pulverizer told the mayor. "I love honey," Dribble said. "I have a great recipe for melted brie and honey on a sesame

问她。粉碎机公主皱起了眉头。 她没打算种植。 她原计划负责其他人的种植工作。 但现在大家都盯着她看…… “当然，”她同意了。“当然。 骑士们在必要的时候并不介意弄脏自己的手。” 运球给了她一个微笑。“这才像话，”他告诉她。 在大家的共同努力下，没过多久，火沼泽郡就开始散发出甜美的气味。 这些花还带来了额外的好处——蜜蜂。 成百上千的蜜蜂围着花丛嗡嗡作响。 “你很快就会有很多蜂蜜了，”普瓦瑞尔公主对市长说。 “我喜欢蜂蜜，”运球说。 “我有一个很棒的食谱，把融化的布里干酪和蜂蜜放在芝麻上

roll. Maybe I will come back someday and make it for you." "That would be wonderful!" the mayor said. "In the meantime, the people of Ire-Mire-Briar-Shire have a gift for you three. It's a small token of our gratitude." The mayor held out a long arrow with orange and yellow feathers. "This is for you," he said as he handed it to Princess Pulverizer.

卷。也许有一天我会回来给你做。” “那太好了！”市长说。 “与此同时，荆棘郡的人民有一份礼物要送给你们三个。 这是我们表达谢意的一点小心意。” 市长伸出一支长箭，箭上有桔黄色的羽毛。 “这是给你的。”他边说边把它递给普瓦瑞尔公主。
