4. Mischief

Chapter 4 Mischief Bradley recognized Officer Fallon and Officer Keene. Bradley's mouth fell open. Pal barked at all the excitement. All the kids stopped playing. The little girl hugged one of her dolls. "Hi, kids," Officer Fallon said. He smiled under his floppy mustache. "Hello, Lucky. How's school?" "School is cool," Lucky said. A woman with red hair came out onto the porch behind Lucky. Two of his redheaded brothers

米齐·布拉德利认出了法伦警官和基恩警官。 布拉德利张大了嘴。 帕尔兴奋地叫了起来。 所有的孩子都停止了玩耍。 小女孩抱着她的一个洋娃娃。 “嗨，孩子们，”法伦警官说。 他在松软的小胡子下露出了微笑。 “你好,幸运。学校怎么样?”“学校很酷，”Lucky说。 一个红头发的女人走到拉奇身后的门廊上。 他的两个红发兄弟

stepped out after her. Bradley knew they went to the same school, but he didn't know their names. "Hello, Roberta," Officer Fallon said. "Hello, Officer Fallon," Mrs. O'Leary answered. "What brings you our way?" "I'm afraid there's been some mischief in town, Roberta," Officer Fallon said. "Someone's been stealing leprechauns." "Ours got stolen, too!" Bradley said. "Right off our porch!" "Huh," Officer Fallon said. "That makes three so far, then. Mr. Paskey at the Book Nook said his was taken last night. He left it out for the paint to dry. And Mrs. Wong at the pet shop says hers got swiped off her deck." "But what does that have to do with us?" Roberta O'Leary asked. "We still have Josephine's leprechaun." She pointed to the fairy-princess leprechaun on their porch steps. Officer Fallon gave Lucky a strange look. "I'm arresting Lucky for the thefts." He and his partner

跟在她后面。布拉德利知道他们上的是同一所学校，但他不知道他们的名字。 “你好，罗伯塔，”法伦警官说。 “你好，法伦警官，”奥利里太太回答。 “什么风把你吹来了？”“恐怕城里发生了一些恶作剧，罗伯塔，”法伦警官说。 “有人一直在偷小矮妖。” “我们的也被偷了！”布拉德利说。 “滚出我们的门廊！”“嗯，”法伦警官说。 “那么，到目前为止已经有三次了。 Nook书店的帕斯基先生说他的是昨晚拍的。 他把它放在外面等油漆干。 宠物店的王太太说她的宠物被人从甲板上偷走了。” “但这和我们有什么关系呢？”罗伯塔·奥利里问。 “我们还有约瑟芬的小妖精。” 她指着门廊台阶上的小妖精公主。 法伦警官奇怪地看了拉奇一眼。 “我要以偷窃的罪名逮捕幸运仔。” 他和他的搭档

walked toward the porch. Officer Keene was holding handcuffs. Bradley couldn't believe what he was seeing. Lucky O'Leary was no thief. He tutored high school kids who needed extra help. He was a volunteer fireman. He'd never go around stealing leprechauns! "I didn't steal anything!" Lucky said. He took a step backward. "My son is innocent!" Roberta O'Leary said. "That's not what we heard," Officer Fallon said. He took Lucky by the arm. "Come with us to the station, son." Lucky's little sister Josephine began to cry. "He didn't do anything!" she said. "You leave my brother alone!" The officers put Lucky in the cruiser's backseat. All the redheads charged up onto the porch. "Mommy! What's happening?" they all asked. "Everything will be fine," Mrs. O'Leary said. Then she herded her gang into the house.

朝门廊走去。基恩警官拿着手铐。 布拉德利简直不敢相信他所看到的。 拉基·奥利里不是小偷。 他辅导需要额外帮助的高中生。 他是一名志愿消防员。 他绝不会到处偷小矮妖！“我什么也没偷！”幸运的说。 他向后退了一步。“我儿子是无辜的！”罗伯塔·奥利里说。 “我们听到的不是这样，”法伦说。 他抓住拉吉的胳膊。“跟我们到车站去吧，儿子。” Lucky的妹妹Josephine哭了起来。 “他什么也没做！”她说。 “你离我弟弟远点！”警官们把幸运仔放在了警车的后座上。 所有红头发的人都冲到门廊上。 “妈妈!发生了什么事？”他们都问。 “一切都会好起来的，”奥利里太太说。 然后她把她的同伙赶进了房子。

Bradley couldn't move. He felt like a statue.

布拉德利动弹不得。他觉得自己像座雕像。
