Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Princess Magnolia was having a wonderful time. The sandwiches were delicious. The tablecloths were fancy. The princesses were delightful. It was a perfect party. "Open the presents!" said Princess Snapdragon.

木兰公主玩得很开心。 三明治很好吃。 桌布是花式的。 公主们很可爱。 这是一个完美的聚会。“打开礼物!”

"Yes, do!" said the other eleven princesses. Princess Magnolia clapped her hands. She could hardly wait. "Oh, thank you!" she said. "Presents make a party particularly perfect."

“是的，去吧!”其他十一位公主说。 木兰公主拍了拍手。 她几乎等不及了。“哦，谢谢你!” “礼物使聚会特别完美。”

Just then, her glitter-stone ring rang. It was time to open presents. It was not a good time for a monster attack. "What is that ringing noise?" asked Princess Snapdragon.

就在这时，她那闪亮的石头戒指响了。 是时候拆礼物了。 这不是怪物攻击的好时机。 “那是什么声音?”金鱼公主问。

"It's an alarm," said Princess Magnolia. She couldn't tell them it was the monster alarm. Then they might guess that she was the Princess in Black. No one knew she was the Princess in Black. (Except Blacky, of course.) "That alarm means it's... time for a game!" said Princess Magnolia. "Yay!" said Princess Bluebell. "What game should we play?" "Um, how about hide-and-seek?" said Princess Magnolia. "Not It!"

“这是一个警报，”木兰公主说。 她不能告诉他们这是怪物警报。 然后他们可能会猜出她就是黑衣公主。 没人知道她就是黑衣公主。 (当然，布莱克除外。)“那个警报意味着…… 玩游戏的时间到了!”白玉兰公主说。 “耶!”蓝铃公主说。 “我们应该玩什么游戏?”“嗯，我们来捉迷藏怎么样?”木兰公主说。 “不!”

Princess Tulip was It. She counted. The princesses sneaked away.

郁金香公主就是它。她数了。 公主们偷偷溜走了。
