6 Gruesome Griselda

Gruesome GRISELDA CREEPY-CRAWLIES ARE CALLED CREEPY-CRAWLIES for a reason. They are creepy and they are crawly. Slugs, worms, spiders, caterpillars and cockroaches are creatures that give most people the creeps.

令人毛骨悚然的小爬虫被称为令人毛骨悚然的小爬虫是有原因的。 它们令人毛骨悚然，而且很狡猾。 鼻涕虫、蠕虫、蜘蛛、毛毛虫和蟑螂是让大多数人毛骨悚然的生物。

Griselda was a girl who loved creepy-crawlies. If she saw a worm wiggling around in the mud, she would pick it up and put it in her pocket. Now, worms don't make the best pets. Worms don't come if you call them. "Worm!" If you throw a worm a stick, it won't bring it back. "Worm! Fetch!" You can't train worms to do tricks. "Worm! Roll over! Worm! Beg! Worm! Paw!" However, Griselda had other plans for these slimy creatures. The little girl would use them to give people the Willies.

格里塞尔达是一个喜欢爬虫的女孩。 如果她看到一条虫子在泥里蠕动，她就会把它捡起来放进口袋里。 现在，蠕虫并不是最好的宠物。 如果你叫虫子，它们就不会来。 “虫子!”如果你扔给虫子一根棍子，它是不会回来的。 “虫子!取!”你不能训练蠕虫做把戏。 “虫子!翻身!蠕虫!求!蠕虫!爪子!”然而，格里塞尔达对这些黏糊糊的生物另有打算。 这个小女孩会用它们给人们带来威利斯。

Griselda attended an incredibly posh all-girls boarding school: THE DUCHESS OF QUEENSBURY'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS (with Extremely Wealthy Parents) The school was full of young ladies with long hair and even longer names, like the Honourable Lady Antonia- Rose Huntingdon-Smythe.

格里塞尔达上的是一所非常豪华的女子寄宿学校：昆斯伯里公爵夫人女子学校（父母非常富有）。学校里满是留着长发的年轻女士，甚至有更长的名字，比如尊敬的安东尼娅夫人——罗斯·亨廷顿-斯迈思。

They were all more perfect than perfect with their perfect skin and perfect teeth and perfect nails. In their spare time the girls liked to press wild flowers, embroider lace handkerchiefs and decorate fairy cakes. Griselda delighted in being the odd one out. The little girl never brushed her hair so it was like a bird's nest, topped off with a grotty purple hair scrunchie. She loved having black grime under her fingernails. And, most of all, Griselda was proud to be more than a little porgy.

她们的皮肤、牙齿和指甲都很完美，比完美还要完美。 在业余时间，女孩们喜欢压榨野花，刺绣花边手帕和装饰仙女蛋糕。 格里塞尔达很高兴自己是个与众不同的人。 这个小女孩从不梳头，所以她的头发就像一个鸟窝，顶上戴着一个难看的紫色发圈。 她喜欢指甲里有黑色污垢。 最重要的是，格里塞尔达为自己不只是有点可怜而感到自豪。

The very proper headmistress, Miss Fragrant, would take one look at the girl and bawl at her, "Griselda! You need a bath!" "No, thank you, Headmistress. Lying in your own filthy bathwater for hours can't be healthy!" Then off Griselda would bound to roll in some mud, drag herself through a bush or lie in a puddle. When night fell, Griselda would sneak out of her dormitory to find some creepy-crawlies. These she used to play gruesome tricks on everyone else at school. There was the time when the little girl gathered hundreds of leeches. She placed them under the covers of the head girl's bed.

非常得体的女校长，芳香小姐，看了那姑娘一眼，就会对她大叫：“格里塞尔达！你需要洗个澡！”“不，谢谢你，校长。 在自己肮脏的洗澡水里躺上几个小时是不健康的！”然后格里塞尔达一定会在泥里打滚，拖着身子穿过灌木丛，或者躺在水坑里。 夜幕降临时，格里塞尔达会偷偷溜出宿舍，去找一些令人毛骨悚然的小爬虫。 她曾经用这些东西对学校里的其他人开过可怕的玩笑。 有一次，小女孩收集了数百条水蛭。 她把它们放在女校长的床罩下面。
