Chapter 4

Chapter 4 "Boy am I thirsty!" Dribble said after the customers had left. "Breathing fire all day is exhausting." "So is serving food all day," Lucas said. "I can't wait to crawl into a bed of nice soft pine needles." Princess Pulverizer was also tired and thirsty. But she wasn't really thinking about it at the moment. She was too busy watching Dribble for any signs that he was becoming the kind of evil dragon who burned down buildings.

第4章“孩子，我渴了！”顾客离开后，运球说。 “整天喷火让人筋疲力尽。” “整天提供食物也是如此，”卢卡斯说。 “我等不及要爬到柔软的松针床上了。” 粉碎机公主也感到又累又渴。 但她当时并没有认真考虑这个问题。 她忙着观察运球，看不出他正在变成那种会烧房子的恶龙。

But he still seemed like good old Dribble. In fact, at the moment, he was letting Lucas ride on his tail as they went down to the river for a cold drink. There was no way Dribble could be guilty of burning down any barn. The mirror had to be wrong. "This isn't exactly the cleanest river I've ever seen," Lucas said as he climbed down from his perch on Dribble's tail. A big chicken bone and some moldy pieces of bread floated by. "I don't care," Dribble said. "I'm thirsty. And this is water." He bent his neck low,

但他看起来还是像个好老头。 事实上，此刻，他正让卢卡斯骑在他的尾巴上，他们一起去河边喝冷饮。 小运球不可能犯烧毁谷仓的罪。 镜子一定是错的。 “这可不是我见过的最干净的河。”卢卡斯一边说着，一边从坐在运球尾巴上的地方爬了下来。 一块大鸡骨头和几块发霉的面包漂了过去。 “我不在乎。” “我渴了。这是水。” 他低着脖子，

reached his snout into the river, and started slurping. "Very, very cold water." Slurp. Slurp. Slurp. "You're going to be spending a lot of time going to the bathroom tonight," Princess Pulverizer warned Dribble. "I guess it couldn't hurt to take a sip," Lucas said. "I'll just try to drink around that trash." He walked over and bent down to take a sip. "The water tastes pretty good," he called. "And it's really cold. I—" BONK. "Whoa!" Lucas shouted. "I just got hit with an old shoe. What's that doing floating in a river?" Princess Pulverizer had no idea. But no way was she going to take a drink from any river that had shoes swimming in it along with the fish. "I think I'll just have fruit juice in the morning," Princess Pulverizer said. "Let's go. I

把鼻子伸到河里，开始吸吮。 “非常非常冷的水。”发出声音。 发出声音。发出声音。“今晚你要花很多时间去上厕所了。” “我想喝一口也无妨，”卢卡斯说。 “我还是在那堆垃圾旁边喝吧。” 他走过去，弯下腰喝了一口。 “水的味道很好，”他喊道。 “而且真的很冷。我——”发出巨响。 “哇!”卢卡斯喊道。“我刚被一只旧鞋砸了。 那东西怎么会浮在河里？”粉碎机公主不知道。 但是她绝不可能从河里喝水，因为河里有鞋子和鱼一起游来游去。 “我想我早上只喝果汁就好了，”粉碎机公主说。 “我们走吧。我

need sleep. And we still have to gather enough pine needles to build beds." "One minute," Dribble called back to her between slurps. "Just a few more sips." Slurp. Slurp. Sl— "AAAHHH! There's a dragon drinking from our river!" a woman shouted as she neared the water's edge. "Get out," her friend added. "We don't let dragons drink here." Dribble stared at the two women. Big purple tears formed in his eyes.

需要睡眠。我们还需要收集足够的松针来搭床。” “一分钟。”小运球在吃东西的间隙对她喊道。 “再喝几口就好了。”发出声音。 发出声音。Sl -“AAAHHH !有条龙在喝我们河里的水！”一个走近水边的女人喊道。 “滚出去，”她的朋友补充道。 “我们不让龙在这里喝酒。” 运球盯着那两个女人。 他的眼里涌出了紫色的大泪珠。

"Don't let them bother you," Lucas said, patting his pal on the back. "We were getting ready to leave anyway." "Sometimes humans can be very, very mean," Dribble grumbled. "I had no idea feet could hurt this badly," Princess Pulverizer complained as she finally lay down on a bed of pine needles a while

“别让他们打扰你，”卢卡斯拍拍他朋友的背说。 “反正我们正准备离开。” “有时候，人类真的非常、非常刻薄。” “我不知道脚会伤得这么厉害，”粉碎机公主在松针铺成的床上躺了一会儿，抱怨道

later. She shut her eyes and tried not to think about the ginormous blister forming on her little toe. "Maybe we need to hire a few extra waiters to help serve our customers from now on," Dribble suggested. Princess Pulverizer's eyes popped open wide. From now on? Did Dribble think his restaurant was going to be a permanent thing in Beeten Wheeten?

以后。她闭上眼睛，尽量不去想她小脚趾上形成的巨大水泡。 “也许从现在开始，我们需要多雇几个服务员来帮助服务我们的顾客。” 粉碎机公主瞪大了眼睛。 从现在开始？Dribble认为他的餐馆会在beten wheten永久存在吗？
