Chapter 1 Surprise at Sunrise "Come on, Pal, let's go visit Goldi," Bradley Pinto said to his dog. Pal followed Bradley and his twin brother, Brian, and their friends Nate Hathaway and Lucy Armstrong to the barn. It was the last day of summer vacation! Bradley was keeping Goldilocks, his first-grade class's pet hamster, over the summer. She lived in

“来吧，伙计，我们去拜访戈尔迪，”布拉德利·平托对他的狗说。 帕尔跟着布拉德利和他的双胞胎兄弟布莱恩，以及他们的朋友内特·海瑟薇和露西·阿姆斯特朗来到了谷仓。 这是暑假的最后一天！布拉德利整个夏天都在养着金凤花，这是他一年级同学的宠物仓鼠。 她住在

an aquarium in the barn. The Pintos' pony, Polly, also lived in the barn. The leaves on the maple trees near the barn were just starting to turn red. A September breeze bent the tall grass in the meadow. The kids were wearing T-shirts and jeans. "I can't believe summer is gone," Lucy said. "But I can't wait to meet our new teacher!" Lucy was staying with her cousin Dink Duncan for a year. Her parents were helping build a school on a reservation in Arizona. "I wish we could have Mr. Vooray as a teacher again," Nate said. "He tells good jokes!" Nate was Ruth Rose's little brother. Ruth Rose and Dink were best friends with Josh, the twins' older brother. "But we're in second grade now," Brian said. The kids walked into the barn. Pal ran ahead. His long ears almost touched the ground. "Pal is going to miss Goldi when we bring her back to school tomorrow," Nate said. Bradley walked over to the workbench. Goldi the hamster sat up in her cage and began

谷仓里有个水族馆。平托家的小马波莉也住在谷仓里。 谷仓附近枫树上的叶子刚刚开始变红。 九月的微风吹弯了草地上高高的草。 孩子们穿着t恤和牛仔裤。 “我真不敢相信夏天已经过去了。”露茜说。 “但是我等不及要见我们的新老师了！”露西和她的堂兄丁克·邓肯住了一年。 她的父母当时正在亚利桑那州的一个保留地帮忙建一所学校。 “我希望沃莱先生能再次成为我们的老师，”内特说。 “他讲的笑话很好！”内特是露丝·罗斯的弟弟。 露丝·罗斯和丁克与双胞胎的哥哥乔希是最好的朋友。 “但我们现在上二年级了，”布莱恩说。 孩子们走进了谷仓。 帕尔跑在前面。他的长耳朵几乎碰到了地面。 “明天我们送戈尔迪回学校时，帕尔会想念她的，”内特说。 布拉德利走到工作台前。 仓鼠戈尔迪在笼子里坐了起来，开始说话了

squeaking. The kids carried the cage outside. Pal followed them. They set the aquarium on the grass and took off the cover. Pal flopped down on his stomach. Bradley reached in and picked up Goldi. She felt warm in his hands. He put her down next to Pal. Pal began poking the hamster with his nose. Goldi climbed up Pal's nose and sat on his head. "We should take pictures!" Brian said. "I'll bet we have the only dog who lets a hamster sit on his head!" The kids sat on the lawn and watched Goldi walk on Pal's back. When she got to his tail, she turned around and walked back to his head. Bradley pulled a leaf of lettuce from his pocket. He set Goldi on the ground and put it in front of her. Goldi started to nibble on the lettuce. Pal nibbled the other end. "I wonder if Pal knows Goldi is leaving tomorrow," Nate said. "We should buy Pal a stuffed hamster so he doesn't get lonely," Brian said. "Pal will know the difference," Bradley said. "Stuffed hamsters don't smell like real hamsters.

吱吱叫。孩子们把笼子搬到了外面。 帕尔跟着他们。他们把鱼缸放在草地上，取下盖子。 朋友扑通一声趴在地上。 布拉德利伸手把戈尔迪抱起来。 她在他的手里感到温暖。 他把她放在帕尔旁边。 帕尔开始用鼻子戳仓鼠。 戈尔迪爬上帕尔的鼻子，坐在他的头上。 “我们应该拍照！”布莱恩说。 “我敢打赌，这是唯一一只让仓鼠坐在自己头上的狗！”孩子们坐在草坪上，看着戈尔迪骑在帕尔的背上。 当她走到他的尾巴，她转身走回他的头。 布拉德利从口袋里掏出一片生菜。 他把戈尔迪放在地上，放在她面前。 戈尔迪开始啃莴苣。 朋友啃着另一端。 “不知道帕尔知不知道戈尔迪明天就要走了，”内特说。 “我们应该给帕尔买一只毛绒仓鼠，这样他就不会感到孤独了，”布莱恩说。 “帕尔会知道的，”布拉德利说。 “毛绒仓鼠闻起来不像真的仓鼠。

Pal can smell Goldi a mile away!" Just then the back door opened. "Lunch is ready!" Bradley and Brian's mom yelled. The kids put Goldi back in her cage and carried it into the barn. Pal followed them and barked. "He's saying good-bye," Bradley said. The next morning Bradley and Brian got up early for school. They were eating breakfast when they heard a knock at the back door. They looked through the glass and saw Nate and Lucy. "Be right out!" Brian yelled. He slurped the milk from his cereal bowl. Both boys put their bowls and spoons in the sink. They popped their heads into the living room to say good-bye to their parents. Then they grabbed their book bags and raced out the back door. "Let's go get Goldi," Bradley said. "We can carry the aquarium to school in my old wagon." All four kids were wearing new shirts and new sneakers. They carried new pencils and lunches in their book bags. Bradley ran into the barn first. But then he stopped in his tracks. Lucy bumped into him. Nate

伙计一英里外就能闻到戈尔迪的味道！”就在这时后门开了。 “午饭好了！”布拉德利和布莱恩的妈妈喊道。 孩子们把戈尔迪放回笼子里，带着它进了谷仓。 帕尔跟着他们，汪汪叫着。 “他在说再见，”布拉德利说。 第二天早上，布拉德利和布莱恩起得很早去上学。 他们正在吃早饭，突然听到有人敲门。 他们透过玻璃看到了内特和露西。 “马上出来！”布莱恩喊道。 他咕嘟咕嘟地喝着麦片碗里的牛奶。 两个男孩都把碗和勺子放在水槽里。 他们把头伸进客厅向父母道别。 然后，他们抓起书包，从后门跑了出去。 “我们去找戈尔迪吧，”布拉德利说。 “我们可以用我的旧马车把鱼缸运到学校去。” 四个孩子都穿着新衬衫和新运动鞋。 他们的书包里装着新铅笔和午餐。 布拉德利第一个跑进了谷仓。 但随后他停住了脚步。 露西撞到了他。内特

and Brian peered over their shoulders. The aquarium was gone.

布莱恩在他们身后窥视。 水族馆不见了。
