5. Lucky’s Unlucky Day

Chapter 5 Lucky's Unlucky Day The cruiser took off. All the O'Learys were in the house. The yard was quiet. The fairy-princess leprechaun stood all alone on the porch. "Boy, that was weird," Nate said. The kids and Pal started walking toward Main Street. "Do you think Lucky really took the leprechauns?" Lucy asked. "No. Lucky is honest," Brian said. "But someone must think he did it," Bradley said. "Someone called the cops on him."

第五章幸运的倒霉日巡洋舰起飞了。 奥利里全家都在房子里。 院子里很安静。小妖精公主孤零零地站在门廊上。 “天哪，这太奇怪了，”内特说。 孩子们和帕尔开始朝主街走去。 “你认为幸运仔真的带走了小矮妖吗？”露西问。 “没有。幸运是诚实的，”布莱恩说。 “但肯定有人认为是他干的，”布拉德利说。 “有人报了警。”

"Maybe Mrs. Wong or Mr. Paskey saw Lucky do it," Nate said. "I'd bet anything he didn't steal them!" Bradley said. "This has to be a big mistake." "I feel bad for Lucky," Lucy said. "But how can we get our leprechaun back? The contest is tomorrow morning!" "We'll figure something out," Bradley said. "If we can find the real thief, Lucky will get out of jail. And we'll get our leprechaun." When the kids and Pal reached the twins' house, they got a surprise. Two beat-up bikes leaned against the porch. Two of Lucky's brothers were sitting on the steps. They stood up. "Hey," Bradley said. "How'd you get here before us?" "We took River Road," one of the boys said. "I'm Ben, and this is Ralphie. We have something to tell you." All six kids sat on the porch. Pal found a tennis ball to chew on.

“也许黄太太或帕斯基先生看到了Lucky做的事，”内特说。 “我敢打赌他没有偷！”布拉德利说。 “这肯定是个大错误。” “我为幸运仔感到难过。”露茜说。 “但是我们怎样才能把小妖精找回来呢？” 比赛就在明天早上！”“我们会想出办法的，”布拉德利说。 “如果我们能找到真正的小偷，幸运仔就能出狱了。 我们会找到小妖精的。” 当孩子们和帕尔到达双胞胎的家时，他们得到了一个惊喜。 两辆破旧的自行车靠在门廊上。 幸运的两个兄弟正坐在台阶上。 他们站了起来。“嘿，”布拉德利说。 “你怎么比我们先到这儿的？”“我们走了河路，”其中一个男孩说。 “我是本，这是拉尔菲。 我们有事要告诉你。” 六个孩子都坐在门廊上。 朋友找了个网球嚼。

"Sorry about Lucky," Brian said. "That's why we're here," Ben said. "Lucky didn't take your leprechaun. We did. We took the others, too." "We called you this morning and blamed it on Lucky," Ralphie said. "But why?" asked Bradley. "We were mad at Lucky," Ben said. "He got Mom to punish us for messing around in his room. So we came up with an idea. We stole the three statues last night. We dragged them home in our

“关于幸运我很抱歉，”布莱恩说。 “这就是我们来这里的原因，”本说。 “幸运仔没有带走你的小妖精。 我们所做的。我们把其他人也带走了。” 拉尔菲说：“我们今天早上打电话给你，把责任推给了幸运儿。” “可是为什么呢？”布拉德利问。“我们都很生Lucky的气，”Ben说。 “他让妈妈惩罚我们在他房间里胡闹。 所以我们想到了一个主意。 我们昨晚偷了三个雕像。 我们用我们的

sister's wagon. Then we hid them in Lucky's closet, under his gym clothes." "Then we called you," Ralphie said. "We just wanted to mess with Lucky, not get him arrested!" "Anyway," Ben went on, "after Officer Fallon took Lucky away, we ran upstairs to his bedroom. We figured we'd bring the three leprechauns to Officer Fallon and tell him the truth." Ben and Ralphie glanced at each other. "So, what happened?" Nate asked. "When we looked in the closet, the leprechauns were gone," Ben said. Bradley thought Ben O'Leary was going to cry.

姐姐的车。然后我们把它们藏在Lucky的衣柜里，在他的运动服下面。” “然后我们打电话给你，”拉尔菲说。 “我们只是想捉弄幸运仔，不是想把他抓起来！”“不管怎样，”本接着说，“法伦警官把Lucky带走后，我们就跑到楼上他的卧室。 我们想把三个小矮妖带到法伦警官那里，告诉他真相。” 本和拉尔菲互相瞥了一眼。 “那么，发生了什么事？”内特问道。 “当我们打开壁橱时，小矮妖已经不见了，”本说。 布拉德利以为本·奥利里要哭了。
