3. Ms. Tery’s Favorite Colors

Chapter 3 Ms. Tery's Favorite Colors Bradley didn't know what to say. Why did Mr. Vooray have a little green sneaker? "Tell him," Nate said, giving Bradley a poke in the back. "Um, when we went to get Goldi this morning, she was gone," Bradley said.

第三章特里女士最喜欢的颜色布拉德利不知道说什么好。 Vooray先生为什么有一只绿色的小球鞋？ “告诉他，”内特说，在布拉德利背后捅了一下。 “嗯，今天早上我们去找戈尔迪的时候，她已经不见了，”布拉德利说。

Mr. Vooray looked confused. "Goldi is gone?" he asked. "Gone where?" "We don't know!" Bradley said. "We kept her aquarium in our barn all summer long. When we went to get her this morning, it wasn't there!" Mr. Vooray's face went from happy to sad. "Who would steal a little hamster?" he asked. "And look what the crooks left!" Brian said. He showed Mr. Vooray the green sneaker clipped to his book bag. Mr. Vooray stared at the sneaker. He unclipped his key ring and showed the kids his little green sneaker. "I found this on my back porch this morning," he said. "Wow!" Lucy said. "It's exactly like ours!" Bradley stared and blinked. "Um, did… did they take anything?" "Darn right they did!" Mr. Vooray said. "My favorite tennis racket was on the porch, and now it isn't!" "Oh gosh, there's a maniac in Green Lawn!" Nate howled. Mr. Vooray shook his head. "It's probably someone pulling a joke," he said. "Not a very nice

沃莱先生看起来很困惑。 “戈尔迪走了？” “去哪儿了?”“我们不知道！”布拉德利说。 “我们整个夏天都把她的鱼缸放在我们的谷仓里。 今天早上我们去找她的时候，它不在那儿！”沃莱先生的脸从高兴变成了悲伤。 “谁会偷一只小仓鼠？”他问。 “看看那些骗子留下了什么！”布莱恩说。 他给沃莱先生看夹在书包上的绿色运动鞋。 沃勒先生盯着那只运动鞋。 他解开钥匙扣，给孩子们看他的绿色小球鞋。 “今天早上我在后门廊发现了这个，”他说。 “哇!”露西说。“跟我们的一模一样！”布拉德利瞪着眼睛，眨着眼睛。 “嗯，他们拿走什么了吗？”“太对了！”沃雷说。 “我最喜欢的网球拍本来在门廊上，现在不见了！”“哦，天哪，绿草坪里有个疯子！”内特嚎叫起来。 沃莱先生摇了摇头。 “可能是有人在开玩笑，”他说。 “不是很好

one." "We really want Goldi back!" Brian said. "We loved playing with her in your class last year." "Yeah, my new first graders will be disappointed, too," Mr. Vooray said. "Thanks for telling me." A loud bell went off. The four kids walked to the next room. A little sign on the door said WELCOME TO SECOND GRADE. Bradley reached for the doorknob. But the door was yanked open before his fingers touched it. "Perfect timing!" a voice said from near the ceiling. Standing in front of the kids was the tallest woman Bradley had ever seen. She looked like a basketball player on TV. She wore a green sweatshirt that said BOSTON CELTICS on the front. Her skirt was long and orange, almost touching the floor. Her red hair hung in a thick braid down her back. She had blue eyes that stared down at the kids.

一个。”“我们真的想让戈尔迪回来！”布莱恩说。 “我们去年在你的课上很喜欢和她一起玩。” “是的，我的一年级新生也会失望的，”沃莱说。 “谢谢你告诉我。”铃声响了。 四个孩子走到隔壁房间。 门上的一个小牌子写着“欢迎来到二年级”。 布拉德利伸手去抓门把手。 但他的手指还没碰到门，门就被猛地拉开了。 “来得正是时候！”天花板附近传来一个声音。 站在孩子们前面的是布拉德利所见过的最高的女人。 她看起来像电视上的篮球运动员。 她穿着一件前面写着波士顿凯尔特人队的绿色运动衫。 她的裙子又长又橙，几乎到了地板上。 她的红头发编成一条厚厚的辫子垂在背上。 她那双蓝眼睛俯视着孩子们。

The giant woman smiled. "Come on in. I don't bite," she said.

那个高大的女人笑了。“进来吧。 我不咬人，”她说。

The rest of the second graders in the class laughed. Bradley recognized a lot of the kids from first grade last year. "I'm Ms. Tery. In case you're wondering why I'm so tall, it's because I eat all my vegetables!" she said. "Now find a place to park, please." The four kids all found seats, but not next to each other. "You know who I am," Ms. Tery said to the class, "but I don't know you. When I point to you, stand up and tell us your name. Then tell us something interesting about yourself." She pointed to Julie, in the front row. Julie hopped up. "I'm Juliette Jackson, but my friends call me Julie. This summer I learned how to swim. Almost!" "Can I go next?" Bobby Arnold asked. Ms. Tery smiled again. "Of course." Bobby stood up. "I'm Bobby Arnold," he said. "My basketball got stolen last night! We live on Blue Jay Way. I left my ball in the front yard. It was gone this morning. I found this right where I left the ball." He held up a little green sneaker.

班上其他的二年级学生都笑了。 布拉德利认出了很多去年一年级的孩子。 “我是特里小姐。如果你想知道我为什么这么高，那是因为我把所有的蔬菜都吃了！” “现在请找个地方停车。” 四个孩子都找到了座位，但不是挨着坐的。 “你们知道我是谁，”特里对同学们说，“但我不认识你们。 当我指着你的时候，站起来告诉我们你的名字。 然后告诉我们一些关于你的有趣的事情。” 她指着坐在前排的朱莉。 朱莉跳了起来。“我是朱丽叶·杰克逊，但我的朋友们都叫我朱莉。 今年夏天我学会了游泳。 差不多了!”“我能下一个去吗？”鲍比·阿诺德问道。 特里女士又笑了。“当然。” 博比站了起来。“我是鲍比·阿诺德，”他说。 “我的篮球昨晚被偷了！”我们住在蓝鸦街。 我把球落在前院了。 今天早上就不见了。我就在我丢下球的地方找到了这个。” 他举起一只绿色的小球鞋。

"Me too!" a kid named Zack said. He held up a tiny green sneaker. "Somebody took my bathing suit right off the clothesline!" Bradley stared at Zack's and Bobby's little green sneakers. They were just like the one they'd found in their barn. "Us too!" Brian yelled. He waved his little green sneaker at the class. "Someone stole our hamster. Well, really Mr. Vooray's hamster. We were keeping her over the summer. They left us a green sneaker, too!" "Someone stole Mr. Vooray's hamster?" Ms. Tery almost yelled. "That's just awful!" Caitlyn waved her hand. "My grandma called me last night," she said. "I gave her a flower for her birthday and she kept it on her front porch. When she went to water it this morning, it was gone!" "Goodness!" Ms. Tery said. "Did your grammy find a little sneaker?" "Yes!" Caitlyn said. She pointed at Brian's. "Like that!" "It seems we have a sneaker mystery in Green Lawn," Ms. Tery said. She raised her skirt a few

“我也是！”一个叫扎克的孩子说。 他举起一只小小的绿色运动鞋。 “有人把我的泳衣从晾衣绳上拿走了！”布拉德利盯着扎克和鲍比的绿色小运动鞋。 和他们在谷仓里发现的一模一样。 “我们!”布莱恩喊道。他在班上挥舞着他的绿色小运动鞋。 “有人偷了我们的仓鼠。 嗯，真的是沃莱先生的仓鼠。 我们打算让她过暑假。 他们还给我们留下了一双绿色的运动鞋！”“有人偷了沃莱先生的仓鼠？”Ms。 特里几乎叫了起来。“太可怕了！”凯特琳挥挥手。 “我奶奶昨晚打电话给我，”她说。 “她生日时，我送了她一朵花，她把花放在门廊上。 今天早上她去给它浇水的时候，它已经不见了！”“天哪!”Ms。 Tery说。“你奶奶找到小球鞋了吗？”“是的!”Caitlyn说。 她指着布莱恩的手。“这样!”“在绿草坪，我们似乎遇到了一个运动鞋迷。” Tery说。她把裙子抬高了一些
