03 The Golden Egg

CHAPTER 3 THE GOLDEN EGG Tag stared at the huge, glowing egg. "I've never seen an egg this big before!" "I've never seen a golden egg before," Skyla said. "What do you think it is?" "I don't know," Tag said. "But I bet the tiger bats stole it. We have to get it out of here."

第三章金泰格盯着那只发光的巨蛋。 “我从来没见过这么大的蛋！”“我从来没见过金蛋，”斯凯拉说。 “你觉得是什么？”“我不知道，”泰格说。 “但我敢打赌是虎蝠偷走了它。 我们得把它弄出去。”

"Wait!" Skyla cried. "It could be a tiger bat!" Tag laughed. "Bats don't lay eggs, silly." "Tiger bats are not normal bats," Skyla said. "Anyway, how are we going to move it?" Tag frowned. The egg was bigger than both of them. "Maybe we could roll it?" He pressed a wing against the egg. "Ow! It's hot!" Tag shook his sizzling feathers. "Stay here. I have an idea!" Skyla scurried out of the cave. Outside, the sky had cleared and the sun was bright again. "See? It was just a passing storm," Tag told the egg.

“等等!”Skyla哭了。“可能是一只虎蝠！”泰格笑了。 “蝙蝠不下蛋的，傻瓜。” “虎蝠不是普通的蝙蝠，”斯凯拉说。 “不管怎样，我们要怎么移动它呢？”泰格皱起了眉头。 蛋比他们俩都大。 “也许我们可以把它卷起来？”他把一只翅膀压在鸡蛋上。 “噢!是热的!”泰格摇晃着他那滋滋作响的羽毛。 “留在这里。我有个主意！”斯凯拉赶紧跑出了山洞。 外面，天空放晴了，太阳又亮了起来。 “看到了吗?这只是一场短暂的风暴，”泰格对蛋说。

Skyla returned with armfuls of leaves and sticks. "I'll make a cart." Her quick fingers twisted the leaves and sticks together. Soon, the cart was finished. Together, Tag and Skyla nudged the egg onto the cart.

斯凯拉抱着一把把树叶和树枝回来了。 “我来做一辆马车。”她敏捷的手指把树叶和树枝拧在一起。 很快，马车就完工了。 泰格和斯凯拉一起把蛋推到推车上。

"Poor egg, all alone in this creepy cave," Tag said. Skyla looked back at Tag. She gasped and pointed a shaky finger. "Um, Tag... I don't think it was alone..." Tag turned. A pair of big, bright eyes stared at him. Another pair slowly opened. Then another and another—until hundreds of beady, orange eyes glared back.

“可怜的蛋，独自在这个令人毛骨悚然的洞穴里，”泰格说。 斯凯拉回头看着泰格。她喘着气，用颤抖的手指着。 “嗯,泰格……我不认为只有它……” 标记了。一双明亮的大眼睛盯着他。 另一双慢慢打开了。 接着是一个又一个——直到几百双亮晶晶的橙色眼睛瞪着我。
