Chapter 10

Chapter 10 "Ow! That horn is sharp!" The people of Beeten Wheeten gasped as the unicorn made a sudden turn, then jabbed Ralf in the leg with its horn. "It's Ralf's fault my barn is now a giant ash pile!" the farmer shouted.

第十章“哎哟！那只角真锋利！”当独角兽突然转身，然后用它的角戳了拉尔夫的腿时，比滕维特的人们倒吸了一口气。 “这是拉尔夫的错，我的谷仓现在成了一个巨大的灰烬堆！”农场主喊道。

"It's Ralf's fault I was puking my guts out all night!" another man added. "That's not true!" Ralf exclaimed. He turned to face the crowd of people coming up behind him. "The unicorn made a mistake. This proves nothing." The unicorn lowered his head and butted Ralf right in the rear end. "It's no mistake," Princess Pulverizer said. She reached over and quickly yanked the copy of Unicorns from A to Z from Ralf's back pocket. "Hey, that's mine!" Ralf shouted. "OW!" He let out a squeal of pain as the unicorn butted him again. "It's on page 37," Princess Pulverizer continued. "Unicorns have the unique ability to spot a liar. If a unicorn senses someone is telling a lie, he will poke him with his horn." She smiled triumphantly. "You were lying when you said Dribble started the fire on purpose."

另一名男子补充道：“我整晚吐得都是拉尔夫的错！” “那不是真的！”拉尔夫喊道。 他转过身来面对从他身后走过来的一群人。 “独角兽犯了一个错误。 这证明不了什么。”独角兽低下头，正好撞在拉尔夫的屁股上。 “没有错，”普莱瑞公主说。 她伸出手，迅速地从拉尔夫的后口袋里把那本独角兽从A点拽到Z点。 “嘿，那是我的！”拉尔夫喊道。 “噢!”他发出一声痛苦的尖叫，独角兽又用屁股撞了他一下。 “在第37页。” “独角兽有发现骗子的独特能力。 如果独角兽感觉到有人在说谎，它会用角戳那个人。” 她得意地笑了。“你说运球是故意纵火的，这是在撒谎。”

"Ouch!" Ralf exclaimed as the unicorn poked him in the rear end once again. "That's it! I'm out of here." Ralf started running down the road. "Ralf!" Bertha called as she hurried after him. "Wait for me!" But Ralf didn't wait. He couldn't. Not with the unicorn following him so closely and poking his rear end. "I guess I owe you an apology, big fella," the farmer said as he headed over to Dribble. "We all do." Purple tears started flowing from Dribble's eyes. Princess Pulverizer was pretty sure they were tears of joy this time. "It's okay," Dribble said. "For a while even I started to believe I was guilty." "It was a good thing that unicorn knew who the real liar was," Lucas said. "Capturing him sure backfired on Ralf." "Yes," the farmer agreed. "But now we all have to undo the mess Ralf left. It will take us

“哎哟!”拉尔夫惊叫道，独角兽又一次戳了他的屁股。 “就是它!我要走了。” 拉尔夫开始沿着路跑。 “拉尔夫!”伯莎一边追着他一边叫道。 “等等我！”但拉尔夫没有等。 他不能。独角兽跟得那么紧，还戳他的屁股。 “我想我应该向你道歉，大个子。”农夫一边说一边朝运球走去。 “我们都是。”紫色的泪水开始从小运球的眼里流出来。 粉碎机公主很确定这一次是喜悦的泪水。 “没关系，”运球说。 “有一段时间，连我都开始相信我有罪。” “幸好独角兽知道谁是真正的骗子，”卢卡斯说。 “抓住他肯定会害了拉尔夫。” “是的，”农夫同意了。“但现在我们都必须收拾好拉尔夫留下的烂摊子。 它会带我们

months to clean out that river." "We'll help you," Dribble said. "Right, Princess Pulverizer?" "Huh?" Princess Pulverizer looked up at the sound of her name. She hadn't heard the farmer or Dribble. She'd been too busy reading about unicorns in Ralf's book. "I said, we can stick around for a while and help these nice people clean up their river," Dribble repeated. "I don't think that will be necessary," Princess Pulverizer replied. Dribble stared at her. "I thought you wanted to be a knight. No truly kind knight would leave these people with a river filled with garbage." "I'm not doing that," the princess assured Dribble. "I'm just saying they won't need our help. It says in this book that a unicorn can purify water with his horn. So all we have to do is get the unicorn to stick his horn in the

清理这条河需要几个月的时间。” “我们会帮助你的。” “对吧，粉碎机公主？”“嗯?”听到自己的名字，粉碎机公主抬起头来。 她没有听到农夫和运球的声音。 她一直忙着读拉尔夫书里关于独角兽的书。 “我说，我们可以多待一会儿，帮助这些好人清理他们的河流。”Dribble重复道。 “我认为没有必要。” 小运球盯着她。“我以为你想成为一名骑士。 没有哪个真正善良的骑士会让河里装满垃圾。” “我不会那么做的。”公主向运球保证。 “我只是说他们不需要我们的帮助。 这本书里说独角兽能用它的角净化水。 所以我们要做的就是让独角兽把它的角插进

river, and it will be cleaned up in an instant. Easy peasy." "That's a great idea!" Lucas exclaimed. Princess Pulverizer beamed with pride. "It's not easy," Dribble argued. "Or peasy." "It's not?" Lucas wondered. "Why not?" the princess demanded. "Because the unicorn is gone," Dribble reminded them. "And I don't think he's coming back." "I don't blame him," Lucas said. "He thinks Princess Pulverizer tricked him into being captured." The crowd stared at them, surprised. "Why would you do that?" the farmer's wife demanded. "I didn't," the princess insisted. "At least I didn't mean to. Ralf tricked me." "But the unicorn doesn't know that," Dribble said. "I suppose not," Princess Pulverizer agreed. "I wouldn't blame him for never trusting me

河水，马上就会被清理干净。 容易peasy。”“这是个好主意！”卢卡斯喊道。 粉碎机公主骄傲地笑了。 “这不容易，”运球争辩道。 ”或peasy”。“这不是吗?”卢卡斯很好奇。 “为什么？”公主问道。 “因为独角兽不见了。”运球提醒他们。 “我认为他不会回来了。” “我不怪他，”卢卡斯说。 “他认为粉碎机公主骗他被抓。” 人群惊讶地盯着他们。 “你为什么要这么做？”农妇质问道。 “我没有，”公主坚持说。 “至少我不是故意的。 拉尔夫骗了我。”“但是独角兽不知道。” “我想不会吧。” “我不会怪他从不相信我

again." The princess sighed. She wanted to move on and finish the rest of her good deeds in her Quest of Kindness. But she knew that wasn't possible right then. She had to stay and help the people of Beeten Wheeten clean their river. It wasn't that cleaning out a polluted river wasn't a good deed. It was just that it was going to take so long. And that river smelled awful. "I guess we should get started," Princess Pulverizer finally said. "Grab some trash bags and clothespins." "Why clothespins?" Lucas asked. "For our noses," she replied. "No one wants to smell that trash all day." "Dribble, will you please make us some sandwiches as we clean up?" the mayor of

了。”公主叹了口气。 她想继续前进，完成她在寻求善良中所做的善事。 但她知道那是不可能的。 她不得不留下来帮助Beeten wheten的人们清理他们的河流。 这并不是说清理被污染的河流不是一件好事。 只是要花很长时间。 那条河闻起来很难闻。 “我想我们应该开始了。”粉碎机公主终于说。 “拿些垃圾袋和衣夹。” “为什么夹呢?”卢卡斯问道。 “为了我们的鼻子，”她回答。 “没人想整天闻那股垃圾味。” “Dribble，你能在我们打扫的时候给我们做些三明治吗？
