3. Yummy Mummy Fingers

Chapter 3 Yummy Mummy Fingers They ran through the dark fog. Brian was laughing like crazy. Bradley bumped into something and fell. He landed on a couch. The other three kids piled on top of him. Bradley's hand touched something furry, and he yelled, "It's a wolf!" They were all tangled up in each other's arms and legs. Bradley felt his Mount Rushmore box crunch.

第三章美味的木乃伊手指他们在黑雾中奔跑。 布莱恩笑得像疯了一样。 布拉德利撞到了什么东西，摔倒了。 他落在沙发上。其他三个孩子挤在他身上。 布拉德利的手碰到了一个毛茸茸的东西，他喊道：“是狼！”他们都被对方的胳膊和腿缠在一起。 布拉德利感到他的拉什莫尔山盒子嘎吱作响。

Lucy started to laugh. "No, it's a fake-fur blanket!" she said. Nate gasped. "Is that fake, too?" he asked, pointing ahead of them. Out of the mist, a white ghost floated toward them. It was wearing a sheet with holes cut out for the eyes. The ghost was carrying a plate. "Have a yummy finger?" the ghost asked the kids. The plate held what looked like bloody human fingers! "I'm not eating any mummy's fingers!" Nate yelled. "He said yummy, not mummy," Brian said. "Besides, they're cookies!" He grabbed one and popped it in his mouth. "With raspberry frosting!" Bradley and Lucy each took one. "No thank you," Nate said politely. "Excuse me," Bradley said to the ghost. "Have you seen a bunch of other kids? They came in a while ago." The ghost laughed. "Follow the footprints," he said, then disappeared into the darkness.

露西笑了起来。“不，这是一条假毛皮毯子！”她说。 内特气喘吁吁地说。“那也是假的吗？”他指着前方问道。 从雾中，一个白色的幽灵飘向他们。 它穿着一张床单，上面为眼睛挖了几个洞。 鬼魂拿着一个盘子。 “手指好吃吗？”鬼魂问孩子们。 盘子里放着看起来像是血淋淋的人的手指！“我不吃妈妈的手指！”内特喊道。 “他说的是美味，不是妈咪，”布莱恩说。 “而且，它们是饼干！”他抓起一个，塞进嘴里。 “还有覆盆子糖霜！”布拉德利和露西各拿了一个。 “不用了，谢谢。”内特礼貌地说。 “对不起，”布拉德利对鬼魂说。 “你见过其他孩子吗？” 他们刚才进来了。” 鬼魂笑了。“跟着脚印走。”他说，然后消失在黑暗中。

The kids looked around. They saw more spiderwebs, and bats hanging from the ceiling. "That ghost didn't answer my question," Bradley said. "They never answer questions," Nate muttered.

孩子们环顾四周。他们看到更多的蜘蛛网，天花板上挂着蝙蝠。 “那个鬼魂没有回答我的问题，”布拉德利说。 “他们从不回答问题。”内特咕哝道。

Lucy giggled. "Ghosts are so rude!" she said. Just then another figure appeared in front of them. "Oh no, look!" Nate whispered. He scrunched back into the fake-fur blanket. The figure was wearing torn, dirty clothes, as if he had just crawled out of a grave. The space over his shoulders, where his head should have been, was empty. The zombie held out a basket. The kids looked inside. A dead-looking face stared back at them! Nate yelled and tried to hide behind Brian and Lucy.

露西咯咯笑了。“鬼太粗鲁了！”她说。 就在这时，另一个人影出现在他们面前。 “哦，不，看！”内特低声说。 他缩进假毛毯子里。 那个人影穿着又破又脏的衣服，好像刚从坟墓里爬出来。 他肩膀上本来应该放脑袋的地方空了。 僵尸拿出一个篮子。 孩子们往里看。一张死气沉沉的脸盯着他们！内特大叫着，试图躲在布莱恩和露西身后。

Bradley gulped. The head was just a scary face painted on a volleyball. "Sir, have you seen some other kids?" he asked the zombie. "They came in before us." "Follow the green footprints," the zombie said. The voice came from inside his chest. Then he wandered away, carrying the head. "How can he see where he's going?" Brian whispered.

布拉德利一饮而尽。他的头不过是画在排球上的一张吓人的脸。 “先生，你看到其他孩子了吗？”他问僵尸。 “他们比我们先进来的。”“跟着绿脚印，”僵尸说。 声音从他的胸膛里传出来。 然后他走了，带着头。 “他怎么能看到他要去的地方呢？”布莱恩低声说。

"They keep telling us to follow these dumb footprints!" Bradley said. "Why wouldn't he tell me where those other kids are?" "Because they ate them!" Nate wailed. "Nate, ghosts and witches and ogres aren't real," Bradley said. "These are all fake guys." "But what if zombies and ogres were real?" Nate insisted. "What if they really wanted to eat kids? They'd come to a fake haunted house like this one, and find lots of kids. Like us!" Suddenly they heard a loud squealing noise. "It sounds like a pig," Lucy said. "Oh no!" Nate said. "One of the kids was dressed as Miss Piggy. The ogre got her!" "What ogre?" Brian said. "The only ogre we saw was the one outside. And that was just some grown-up in a costume." "Can we leave now?" Nate asked. "I've had enough Halloween forever!" "We can't leave," Bradley said. "We have a mystery to solve!" "What mystery?" Nate asked. "Nate, a bunch of kids came in here before us," Bradley said. "Now they're all gone! What if

“他们一直让我们跟着这些愚蠢的脚印走！”布拉德利说。 “他为什么不告诉我其他孩子在哪里？”“因为他们吃了！”内特大声哭叫。 “内特，鬼魂、女巫和食人魔都是不存在的，”布拉德利说。 “这些人都是假的。” “但如果僵尸和食人魔是真的呢？”内特坚持道。 “如果它们真的想吃小孩怎么办？” 他们来到一个像这样的假鬼屋，发现很多孩子。 像我们这样的!”突然，他们听到一声巨大的尖叫声。 “听起来像猪的叫声。”露茜说。 “哦,不!”内特说。其中一个孩子打扮成猪小姐。 食人魔抓住了她！”“什么怪物?”布莱恩说。 “我们唯一看到的食人魔就是外面的那个。 那只是一个穿着戏服的成年人。” “我们现在可以走了吗？”内特问道。 “我已经受够万圣节了！”“我们不能离开，”布拉德利说。 “我们有一个谜要解开！”“什么神秘?”内特问道。 “内特，一群孩子比我们先进来的，”布拉德利说。 “现在他们都走了！”如果
