04 Run!

CHAPTER 4 RUN! The tiger bats' bright orange eyes watched from the darkness. "Tiger bats!" yelled Tag. "Grey was right!" "And we've woken them up!" Skyla cried. Tag and Skyla pushed and pulled at the cart. It didn't move. "Hurry!" Tag said. "The egg is too heavy!" Skyla huffed.

第四章快跑！虎蝠明亮的橙色眼睛在黑暗中注视着。 “老虎蝙蝠！”泰格喊道。“格雷说得对！”“我们把他们吵醒了！”Skyla哭了。 泰格和斯凯拉推着车拉着车。 它没有动。“快点!”泰格说。 “这蛋太重了！”Skyla怒喝道。

Tag gave a big push. The egg wobbled, then—THUNK! It fell off the cart. I hope it's not cracked, thought Tag. The tiger bats' wings scraped the walls. One landed close by with a THUD! The egg started to roll out of the cave and down the hill. "Follow that egg!" Tag yelled. The friends raced behind the egg as the tiger bats flew out of the cave, zooming back and forth. SQUAWK!

泰格用力推了一下。蛋摇晃了一下，然后，“咚”！它从车上掉下来了。 我希望它没有破裂，泰格想。 虎蝠的翅膀擦着墙壁。 其中一个砰的一声落在附近！蛋开始滚出洞穴，滚下山坡。 “跟着那只蛋！”泰格喊道。 当虎蝠飞出洞穴时，朋友们跑到蛋后面，来回地飞来飞去。 诉苦!

"Good thing tiger bats can't see well in daylight!" Skyla puffed. "We should be able to lose them out here!" Tag's heart pounded. Blasts of air from the tiger bats' giant orange-and-black striped wings pushed him on. The egg picked up speed as it rolled downhill. It banged into an old fallen tree and stopped. "We have to hide!" Skyla said. "Before the bats see us!" Tag looked at the fallen tree. "Quick— let's hide in here!" He used a stick to shove the egg into the hollow trunk. Then he and Skyla crawled in behind it. CLACK, CLACK, CLACK. Tag and Skyla held their breath as the tiger bats' beaks snapped above them.

“幸好虎蝠在白天看不清楚！”Skyla膨化。 “我们应该能在这里甩掉他们！”泰格的心怦怦直跳。 虎蝠那桔黄色和黑色条纹相间的巨大翅膀吹出一阵阵气流，把他推了上去。 蛋往山下滚的时候加速了。 它撞上了一棵倒下的老树，停了下来。 “我们得躲起来！”Skyla说。 “在蝙蝠看到我们之前！”泰格看着倒下的树。 “快——我们躲在这里吧！”他用一根棍子把鸡蛋塞进空心的树干里。 然后他和斯凯拉爬到它后面。 喀啦，喀啦，喀啦。泰格和斯凯拉屏住了呼吸，虎蝠的喙在他们头顶上发出噼啪声。

After a while, it was quiet. "That was close," Skyla said. "I know," Tag sighed. Then he grinned. "But we did it—we saved the egg!" The sun was setting. They were too tired to move the egg, so the friends rested in a nearby tree. "I'll keep watch," Tag said with a yawn. But soon, they both fell fast asleep.

过了一会儿，安静了下来。 “好险啊，”斯凯拉说。 “我知道，”泰格叹了口气。然后他笑了。 “但是我们做到了——我们救了那颗蛋！”太阳落山了。 他们太累了，搬不动蛋，所以朋友们在附近的一棵树上休息。 “我来放哨，”泰格打了个哈欠说。 但很快，他们都睡着了。
