Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Aaachoooo! Dribble sneezed loudly. "Quiet," Princess Pulverizer warned. "You don't want to scare the old unicorn if he's hiding behind those trees." "I can't help it. I'm allergic to willows," Dribble replied. "The old unicorn isn't here," Lucas said as he peered under the branches of a big willow

第九章啊！小运球大声打了个喷嚏。 “安静。”粉碎机公主警告道。 “如果老独角兽躲在树后面，你可不想把它吓着。” “我没办法。我对柳树过敏。”Dribble回答。 “老独角兽不在这里，”卢卡斯说，他在一棵大柳树的树枝下凝视着

tree. "This is the third grove we've searched. I doubt we're ever going to find him, or anyone else from Fortune's blessing." "Maybe we're going about this all wrong," Dribble said. "We assumed Gordon spotted the old unicorn near Leononia. But knights travel everywhere. What if he saw him somewhere else? Like the meadow near Beeten Wheeten where Fortune came from." "The old unicorn might have been too weak to search for Fortune with the others. He could have stayed behind," Lucas agreed. "Exactly," Dribble continued. "If the old unicorn poked his head out of hiding for even a moment, and Gordon surprised him, they might have seen one another." "Poor old unicorn," Lucas said. "If you're right, he's been alone a long time. It's been days since the others went out looking for Fortune." "They may have returned to check on the old guy," Dribble suggested. "In fact, the

树。“这是我们搜索的第三个小树林。 我怀疑我们永远也找不到他了，或者幸运的其他人。” “也许我们做错了。” “我们以为戈登在利昂妮娅附近发现了那只老独角兽。 但是骑士到处旅行。 如果他在别的地方见过他呢？ 就像财富来自比腾威顿附近的草地。” “这只老独角兽可能太虚弱了，不能和其他的独角兽一起寻找幸运。 他本可以留下来的，”卢卡斯同意道。 “没错，”运球继续说。 “如果那只老独角兽从隐藏的地方探出头来，哪怕只是一会儿，戈登吓了他一跳，他们就可能看到对方了。” “可怜的独角兽，”卢卡斯说。 “如果你是对的，他已经孤独很久了。 其他人已经好几天没出去找运气了。” “他们可能回来看看那个老家伙了。” 事实上，

whole blessing could be there right now. We should go back to the meadow where Fortune came from and see." "Good idea," Lucas agreed. Princess Pulverizer shook her head. "It's not a good idea," she insisted. "Why not?" Dribble asked. "Because we don't know how to get back to Fortune's home," she replied. "It's just outside of Beeten Wheeten," Lucas reminded her. "All we have to do is head back that way." "Except we've taken a lot of roads since we left Beeten Wheeten," Princess Pulverizer argued. "I have no idea how to get back there. Do you?" "We're all turned around. We'd never find our way back there," Lucas said with a heavy sigh. "This is beginning to seem so pointless." "Pointless!" Princess Pulverizer exclaimed excitedly. "That's it!" Dribble and Lucas stared at her, confused.

祝福现在可能就在那里。 我们应该回到幸运女神来的那片草地去看看。” “好主意，”卢卡斯同意道。 粉碎机公主摇了摇头。 “这不是个好主意，”她坚持说。 “为什么不?”运球问道。“因为我们不知道怎么回到‘财富’的家，”她回答。 “就在比滕惠顿外面，”卢卡斯提醒她。 “我们要做的就是往回走。” “除了我们离开Beeten wheten后走了很多路。” “我不知道怎么回去。 你呢?”“我们都转过身来。 我们再也找不到回去的路了。”卢卡斯重重地叹了口气说。 “这开始显得如此毫无意义。” “毫无意义!”粉碎机公主兴奋地叫道。 “就是这样!”运球和卢卡斯困惑地盯着她。

"Fortune can lead us back," the princess explained. "All he needs is the magic arrow— the one that points the holder toward his home." Quickly, the princess began braiding the arrow with orange and yellow feathers into Fortune's tail. "Why don't you just stick it in his mouth?" Lucas asked. "This guy?" Princess Pulverizer asked. "He'll just eat it. Or, at the very least, break it with his teeth." The princess finished off the braid, and stood back to admire her work. Almost immediately, the unicorn's tail began to twitch and turn. Finally, it pointed to the left. Fortune jumped up in surprise. And then, he began to walk—backward—in the direction his tail pointed. "It's working!" Lucas exclaimed excitedly. "Sure is," Dribble agreed.

“运气会带我们回去的。”公主解释道。 “他所需要的就是那支神奇的箭——那支能指引持箭人回家的箭。” 很快，公主开始用橙色和黄色的羽毛把箭编成命运女神的尾巴。 “你为什么不直接把它塞进他嘴里呢？”卢卡斯问道。 “这家伙?”粉碎机公主问。 “他会把它吃掉的。或者，至少用他的牙齿把它咬断。” 公主编好了辫子，站在后面欣赏她的作品。 几乎立刻，独角兽的尾巴开始抽动和转动。 最后，它指向了左边。 福琛吃惊地跳了起来。 然后，它开始朝它尾巴所指的方向后退。 “这是工作!”卢卡斯兴奋地叫道。 “当然。”

"I don't know why you guys ever doubt me," Princess Pulverizer said smugly. "I certainly never do." "I recognize those shimmery flowers," Princess Pulverizer said a long while later as she looked around the flowery meadow where the arrow had led them. "This is definitely Fortune's home." She unbraided the arrow from Fortune's tail and smiled.

“我不知道你们为什么会怀疑我。” “我当然从来不知道。”“我认出了那些闪闪发光的花。”过了好一会儿，普瓦瑞尔公主环顾着那片鲜花盛开的草地说。 “这里绝对是《财富》的家。” 她摘下命运女神尾巴上的箭，笑了。

"With all these flowers, and that brook, it's the perfect spot for unicorns," Lucas added. "It's got everything." "Except unicorns," Dribble pointed out sadly. "I don't see a single one. I guess I was wrong." Suddenly, Fortune reared up on his hind legs and began twirling in circles. Then he let out a series of cooing noises. "What's with him?" Dribble wondered. "He's dancing," Princess Pulverizer said. "And singing, I think." A chorus of coos echoed back from the bushes and trees. It sounded like a whole flock of turtledoves were hiding there. Only it wasn't a flock of birds. It was a blessing of unicorns. And now they were all running toward the center of the meadow. They leaped from the lavender. Raced from the rosebushes.

卢卡斯补充说：“这里有这么多花，还有那条小溪，是独角兽的完美去处。” “它什么都有。”“独角兽除外。” “我一个也没看到。 我想我错了。”突然，“幸运”用后腿站立起来，开始绕圈打转。 然后他发出一连串的咕咕声。 “他怎么了？”运球很好奇。 “他在跳舞。” “还有唱歌，我想。”一阵咕咕声从灌木丛和树林里回响过来。 听起来好像有一群斑鸠躲在那里。 只不过那不是一群鸟。 这是独角兽的祝福。 现在他们都朝草地中央跑去。 他们从薰衣草上跳了下来。 从玫瑰丛里跑出来。
