5 Mauled

CHAPTER 5 MAULED ARF ARF Well, our mall visit was not very fruitful. I felt like I was drowning in pink lemonade. Only forty-four more shopping days left till Christmas, and I still don't know what to give Penny. Maybe I should write Dear Abby Claus, or try Googling "gifts for girls." This is silly! Why doesn't Penny just buy something she would like, and I'll get something I would like? It would be a lot simpler.

哦，我们的购物中心之行并不是很有成果。 我感觉自己被粉红柠檬水淹没了。 离圣诞节只剩下44天购物了，我还不知道该送佩妮什么。 也许我应该写“亲爱的艾比克劳斯”，或者试试谷歌一下“给女孩的礼物”。 这太愚蠢了！为什么佩妮不买她喜欢的东西，我也买我喜欢的呢？ 这样就简单多了。

I WANT TO BUY THIS PONY I WANT TO BUY THIS LIZARD.

我想买这匹小马，我想买这只蜥蜴。

But Mom says that's not the spirit of Christmas. She says it's about giving. I'm beginning to think it's about giving up.

但妈妈说那不是圣诞节的精神。 她说这是关于给予。 我开始觉得是要放弃了。
