5. Something Got Brian!

Chapter 5 Something Got Brian! "Lucy, what's going on?" Bradley cried. "Where's Brian?" "I don't know!" Lucy said. "He just disappeared! We were following the green footprints. When we got here, Brian saw the candy." "What candy?" Nate asked. He looked around. Lucy pointed into the ogre's mouth. A basket of candy sat between the ogre's upper and lower

第5章布莱恩出事了！“露西，发生什么事了？”布拉德利哭了。 “布莱恩在哪儿?”“我不知道！”露西说。 “他就这么消失了！”我们在追寻绿色的足迹。 当我们到达这里时，布莱恩看到了糖果。” “什么糖果?”内特问道。他环顾四周。 露茜指着食人魔的嘴。 食人魔的上半身和下半身中间放着一篮糖果

teeth. "Brian ran to take some candy. When he started to grab the basket, the lights went out! When they came on again, the candy was still there, but Brian was gone." "Maybe the ogre chewed him up and swallowed him!" Nate said. "Like a candy bar!" "The ogre is made of cardboard," Lucy said. She knocked on one of the teeth. Bradley walked behind the ogre face. The black curtain went all around the head. He found an

牙齿。布莱恩跑去拿了一些糖果。 当他开始抓篮子时，灯灭了！当他们再来的时候，糖果还在，但布莱恩不见了。” “也许食人魔把他嚼碎吞了！”内特说。 “就像一块糖果棒！”“食人魔是纸板做的。”露茜说。 她敲了敲其中一颗牙齿。 布拉德利走在那张食人魔脸的后面。 黑色的帘子把他的头都罩住了。 他找到了一个

opening in the curtain and peeked through. "Guys, come here!" Bradley yelled. Lucy and Nate ran behind the ogre head. Bradley was standing next to an enormous black pot. Water was bubbling in the pot, and misty steam was flowing over the edges. "I knew it!" Nate said. "That witch is making kid soup!" Under the pot, there were red logs that looked as if they were burning. But the flames were fake, too. Bradley peered into the pot, sweeping the fog away with his hand. "All I can see is water," he said. "Look at this!" Lucy said. A sheet of paper had been taped to the pot. Lucy read from the paper: HOW TO MAKE WITCHY STEW BOIL TEN GALLONS OF WATER. MIX IN TWO CUPS OF BAT BLOOD. DROP IN THREE SMALL CHILDREN. STIR IN CHOPPED ONIONS AND CARROTS.

拉开窗帘，偷偷往里看。 “伙计们，过来！”布拉德利喊道。 露西和内特跑在食人魔的脑袋后面。 布拉德利站在一个巨大的黑锅旁边。 锅里的水在冒泡，水雾从锅边飘过。 “我就知道！”内特说。“那个女巫在做小孩汤！”在锅下面，有一些红色的圆木，看起来好像在燃烧。 但火焰也是假的。 布拉德利往锅里看了看，用手拨开了雾气。 “我只能看到水，”他说。 “看这个！”露西说。 一张纸被粘在锅上。 露西从报纸上读到：如何用十加仑的水煮魔法炖菜。 加入两杯蝙蝠血。 请带三个小孩进来。 加入切碎的洋葱和胡萝卜。

ADD SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE. WHEN DONE, POUR INTO BOWLS. SERVE WITH CRACKERS. "Three small children!" Nate cried. "The witch cooked Luke and Miss Piggy and Brian!" "She didn't cook anybody," Lucy said. "The water in the pot isn't boiling." She put her hand on the pot. "Just a little warm." "Then why is the water bubbling and making steam?" Bradley asked.

加入盐和胡椒粉调味。 煮好后，倒入碗中。 配上薄脆饼干。“三个小孩！”内特哭了。 “女巫煮了卢克、小猪小姐和布莱恩！”“她没有煮任何人。”露茜说。 “锅里的水没有开。” 她把手放在锅上。 “只是有点热。”“那为什么水在冒泡，还在冒蒸汽呢？”布拉德利问。

"It's Halloween magic," Nate said. "When I become president, we'll skip over Halloween and go right to Thanksgiving!" "Guys, I'm worried about Brian and those other kids," Bradley said. He walked around to the back of the pot. Something soft squished under his foot. "AHHH!" he yelled, thinking he'd stepped on a bat. But when he looked down, he saw a red cowboy hat. He picked it up and showed the others. "Luke was wearing a hat like this," he whispered. The three kids just stared at the red hat. "Maybe it's a clue," Nate said. "Maybe some monster grabbed Luke, and Luke left his hat so we'd find it!" Lucy and Bradley looked at Nate. "There are no monsters!" Lucy said. "Luke's hat was near this ogre's head," Bradley said. "It's almost like he was trying to tell us something!" "It means Luke got this far, then he disappeared," Lucy whispered. "Just like Brian

“这是万圣节魔术，”内特说。 “等我当上总统，我们就跳过万圣节，直奔感恩节！”“伙计们，我很担心布莱恩和其他孩子，”布拉德利说。 他绕到锅的后面。 有什么柔软的东西在他脚下嘎吱作响。 “啊——”他大叫，以为自己踩到了蝙蝠。 但当他往下看时，他看到了一顶红色的牛仔帽。 他把它捡起来给其他人看。 “卢克戴的就是这样一顶帽子。”他小声说。 三个孩子只是盯着那顶红帽子。 “也许这是一条线索，”内特说。 “也许是什么怪物抓住了卢克，卢克留下了他的帽子，这样我们就能找到它！”露西和布拉德利看着内特。 “没有妖怪！”露西说。 “卢克的帽子离这个食人魔的头很近，”布拉德利说。 “就好像他想告诉我们什么似的！”“意思是卢克走了这么远，然后就不见了。”露茜小声说。 就像布莱恩一样
