Chapter 3

3 Up ahead, Phoebe could see the force field that protected the glade. Inside the shimmering orb, Phoebe could just make out dragonish shapes, moving around. She grinned. Rosie and Stella were already here! DasherGirl flew up beside her. "I must leave you here," she said, "but we will see each other again soon, I promise." She rubbed her nose against Phoebe's and flew off into the forest.

菲比可以看到前面保护林间空地的力场。 在闪闪发光的球体里，菲比只能辨认出龙的形状，四处移动。 她咧嘴一笑。罗茜和斯特拉已经来了!女孩飞到她身边。 “我得把你留在这儿了，”她说，“不过我们很快就会再见面的，我保证。” 她用鼻子蹭了蹭菲比的鼻子，飞进了森林。

The light from the Fire Moon spilled across the force field. Was it just Phoebe's imagination, or was the moonlight even redder now? She glanced up. Yes, the moon was definitely a deeper tone. This was bad! Phoebe took a deep breath and stepped through the force field. It was the best feeling, slipping through the magical air that protected the glade. Inside, the clearing was bathed in a pure silvery moonlight. Here, there were no traces of red at all. Two magnificent dragons flew over to Phoebe, each wrapping an impressive wing around her. "Isn't this cool? We're back for another adventure!" said Stella excitedly. Stella was deep purple and yellow. She was the Starlight Dragon, and was covered in stars. Phoebe nodded. "It's really exciting," she agreed. "Have you heard what our quest is this time?" "Not yet," said Rosie. She was the Twilight Dragon, and her scales were pink and purple. "The queen is still in her tree form."

火月的光芒洒过力场。 这只是菲比的想象，还是现在的月光更红了? 她抬起头来。是的，月亮绝对是一个更深的色调。 这太糟糕了!菲比深吸了一口气，穿过了力场。 在保护林间空地的神奇空气中滑行，这是一种最美好的感觉。 在里面，空地沐浴在纯银的月光下。 这里，根本没有红色的痕迹。 两条巨龙飞向菲比，每一条都用令人印象深刻的翅膀环绕着她。 “这是不是很酷?”我们又回来冒险了!”斯特拉兴奋地说。 斯特拉是深紫色和黄色的。 她是星光龙，全身布满了星星。 菲比点了点头。“这真的很令人兴奋，”她表示赞同。 “你听说我们这次的任务了吗?”“还没有，”罗茜说。 她是暮龙，她的鳞片是粉红色和紫色的。 “女王还在她的树形里。”

As Rosie spoke, the glade filled with the sound of rustling leaves. The Night Dragons turned to look at the elegant tree in the center of the glade. It swayed back and forth, almost like it was dancing. The swaying became stronger until the trunk of the tree had transformed into a regal-looking tree woman. She had long, flowing hair and wore an elegant moss-green gown. Two of the tree's branches had become long arms, which the Tree Queen now spread out in a

罗茜说话的时候，空地上充满了树叶沙沙作响的声音。 夜龙们转过身来，看着林间空地中央那棵优雅的树。 它前后摇晃着，几乎像是在跳舞。 摇得越来越厉害，直到树干变成了一个看起来很高贵的树女。 她留着飘逸的长发，穿着一件优雅的苔绿色长袍。 这棵树的两根树枝已经变成了长臂，树女王现在把它们摊开

welcoming gesture. "Hello, my Night Dragons!" she said in her strong, warm voice. "It is so good to have you back. Your help is greatly needed, as I am sure you have already noticed." "Yes, there's a Fire Moon!" Phoebe exclaimed. "And it's messing up everyone's sleep. It's because of the Fire Queen and her sparks." She usually felt nervous talking to people she didn't know very well, especially grown-ups. But somehow the Tree Queen was different. "Exactly, Phoebe," said the Tree Queen. "Nighttime is extremely important here in the Magic Forest. It's when the Dreamlets hatch." "Dreamlets?" repeated Rosie, looking curious. "What are they?" One of the things Phoebe loved about her friend Rosie was how she often asked the very question that was on Phoebe's lips! "They are young dreams," explained the Tree Queen. "Every night, a new batch of Dreamlets is born. They move throughout the forest, finding sleeping creatures they can whisper their stories

欢迎的姿态。“你好，我的夜龙们!”她用有力而温暖的声音说。 “你回来真是太好了。 我非常需要你的帮助，我相信你已经注意到了。” “是的，有一个火月!”菲比喊道。 “它扰乱了每个人的睡眠。 这都是因为烈火女王和她的火花。” 和不太熟悉的人说话，尤其是大人，她通常会感到紧张。 但不知怎的，树后与众不同。 “没错，菲比。”树后说。 “在魔法森林里，夜晚是极其重要的。 那是小梦龙孵化的时候。” “梦境?”罗茜好奇地重复道。 “它们是什么?”菲比喜欢她的朋友罗茜的一点是，她经常问菲比想问的问题!“它们是年轻的梦，”树后解释说。 “每天晚上，都有一批新的小梦诞生。 他们在森林里四处走动，寻找熟睡的生物他们可以低声讲述他们的故事

to. The stories turn into dreams. And dreams are very important! They help us sort through the problems of the day and learn new things. It's how birds improve their flying, for example. Or how rabbits learn to leap farther than they ever have." Phoebe nodded. She got it. Sometimes, during the day, Phoebe felt scared of trying new things. But in her dreams, she could do anything. After she had managed to do something in her sleep, she sometimes felt brave enough to try it in real life. Like with handstands, which Phoebe had never been any good at doing. Then one night, she had dreamed about doing handstands. When she woke up, the first thing she did was try one out. Right there in her bedroom, for the first time ever, Phoebe had done a perfect handstand! "Recently, there have been fewer Dreamlets in the forest," continued the Tree Queen. "We do not know what the problem is. But I have heard there is something going wrong in the hatchery." "Hatchery?" Rosie asked. "Where the Dreamlets are nursed," explained the Tree Queen. "Once they're strong enough,

出现。故事变成了梦。 梦想是非常重要的!它们帮助我们整理一天中的问题，学习新事物。 例如，这是鸟类提高飞行能力的方法。 或者兔子是如何学会跳得比以前更远的。” 菲比点了点头。她明白了。 白天，菲比有时害怕尝试新事物。 但在她的梦里，她可以做任何事。 当她在睡梦中成功地做了一件事后，她有时会觉得自己有足够的勇气在现实生活中尝试一下。 比如倒立，菲比一直不擅长这个。 一天晚上，她梦见自己倒立。 当她醒来的时候，她做的第一件事就是试一试。 就在她的卧室里，菲比第一次完成了完美的倒立!“最近，森林里的梦中人越来越少了。”树后继续说。 “我们不知道问题出在哪里。 不过我听说孵化场出了点问题。” “孵化器?”罗西问道。“在那里，小梦人儿得到了照料。”树后解释说。 “一旦它们足够强大，

they can leave the hatchery and spread their vital dreams." "So you'd like us to go and check out what's happening there?" Stella guessed. The Tree Queen's leaves rustled as she nodded. "The hatchery is near the Moon Lake. You will recognize it when you see it. Phoebe, I'd like you to lead this quest." Phoebe was too surprised to say anything. She wasn't really the leading type. She didn't know if she wanted to lead a quest. What if she messed up? But the Tree Queen looked at her with a kind smile. "You will be a wonderful leader, Phoebe," she said gently. "Here, this is for you." She held out something glittery to Phoebe. It was a ball of magic thread on a chain. It didn't look like much, but it had come in very handy when Phoebe and her friends were on their last quest. Phoebe stepped forward and bowed her head so the queen could slip the delicate chain around her neck.

他们可以离开孵化场，传播他们重要的梦想。” “所以你想让我们去看看那里发生了什么?”斯特拉猜。 树后点点头，树叶沙沙作响。 “孵化场在月亮湖附近。 当你看到它的时候，你会认出来的。 菲比，我想让你来领导这次探索。” 菲比惊讶得说不出话来。 她并不是那种真正的领导者。 她不知道自己是否想领导一次探索。 如果她搞砸了怎么办?但是树后看着她，脸上带着亲切的微笑。 “你会成为一个出色的领导者，菲比，”她温柔地说。 “给，这是给你的。”她把一件闪闪发光的东西递给菲比。 那是一个链上的魔线球。 它看起来并不怎么样，但在菲比和她的朋友们最后一次寻找的时候，它派上了用场。 菲比走上前去，低下头，让女王把精致的项链套在她的脖子上。
