Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Princess Magnolia rode her bicycle to the seaside. After all, her pony deserved a vacation too. The air was salty. The sun was shiny. The sea was as blue as monster fur. It was a perfect day.

木兰公主骑着自行车来到海边。 毕竟，她的小马也应该去度个假。 空气是咸的。太阳很亮。 大海像怪物的皮毛一样蓝。 这是完美的一天。

Princess Magnolia lay down in a hammock. She closed her eyes. She was just about to snore when someone said, "Hello, Princess Magnolia."

木兰公主躺在吊床上。 她闭上了眼睛。她正要打呼噜，这时有人说:“你好，木兰公主。”

Princess Magnolia opened her eyes. Next to her was a pile of snacks. Beside the snacks was another hammock. On that hammock was a book. Behind the book was Princess Sneezewort.

木兰公主睁开了眼睛。 她旁边是一堆零食。 点心旁边是另一张吊床。 吊床上放着一本书。 书的背后是喷嚏公主。

"What a surprise!" said Princess Magnolia in her cheeriest sleepy voice. "You sound tired," said Princess Sneezewort. "You should take a nap. I'll make sure no one wakes you." "Thank you, Princess Sneezewort," said Princess Magnolia. "Of course," she said. "That's what friends are for." Princess Magnolia closed her eyes again. "Later," Princess Sneezewort whispered, "we can play checkers."

“真让人吃惊!”木兰公主用她最愉快、最困倦的声音说。 “你听起来很累。”喷嚏精公主说。 “你应该打个盹。我保证没人吵醒你。” “谢谢你，喷嚏草公主。”白玉兰公主说。 “当然，”她说。“这就是朋友的作用。” 木兰公主又闭上了眼睛。 “过一会儿，”喷嚏草公主低声说，“我们可以下跳棋。”

Princess Magnolia was just about to snore again when she heard a noise. "ROAR!" Princess Magnolia kept her eyes shut. A monster? On the perfect beach? Impossible. "ROARRR!"

木兰公主正准备再打一声鼾，这时她听到了一个声音。 “吼!”木兰公主一直闭着眼睛。 一个怪物?在完美的海滩上? 不可能的。“ROARRR !”
