05 Rising from the Ashes

CHAPTER 5 RISING FROM THE ASHES WAAA-RAAA! An alarm sounded. Tag woke with a start. The moon was high in the sky. Below, something flickered brightly. "Fire!" he yelled.

第五章浴火重生哇！警报响了。 泰格被惊醒了。月亮高高地挂在天上。 下面，有什么东西在闪烁。 “着火了！”

Black smoke filled the air. "The egg!" Skyla cried. Flames rose from the old fallen tree. Tag gasped. "The egg was hot—it must have set the tree on fire!" The friends raced down from their branch. They scooped up water to pour onto the flames. Finally, all that was left was a smoky pile of ashes. Pieces of golden eggshell glittered among the ashes.

空气中弥漫着黑烟。 “鸡蛋!”Skyla哭了。火焰从倒下的老树上升起。 泰格气喘吁吁地说。“蛋是热的——一定是把树点着了！”朋友们从树枝上跑下来。 他们舀起水倒在火焰上。 最后，只剩下一堆冒烟的灰烬。 一片片金色的蛋壳在灰烬中闪闪发光。

"The egg is destroyed!" Tag cried. "We're going to be in such big trouble. Now we went into the Howling Caves and woke the tiger bats for nothing! And we started a fire!" Skyla patted Tag on the back. "At least we put out the fire before it spread." Something snuffled beside them. "Look!" Tag said. Covered in ash, blinking its big, blue eyes, was a very large baby bird.

“蛋毁了！”泰格哭了。 “我们会有大麻烦的。 现在我们进了嚎叫洞，白白地吵醒了虎蝠！我们还引起了一场火！”斯凯拉拍了拍泰格的背。 “至少我们在火势蔓延之前把它扑灭了。” 有什么东西在他们身边抽泣。 “看!”泰格说。一只很大的鸟宝宝浑身都是灰，大大的蓝眼睛眨着。

"ACHOO!" The bird sneezed, sending up a cloud of ash. Her beautiful feathers were gold, red, and orange. They sparkled brightly, lighting the dark wood. Skyla stared. "A firehawk!" Tag shook his head. "But... there's no such thing as a firehawk."

“啊嚏!”那只鸟打了个喷嚏，扬起一团灰。 她美丽的羽毛是金色、红色和橙色的。 它们闪闪发光，照亮了黑暗的树林。 Skyla盯着。“好!”泰格摇了摇头。 “但是……根本就没有火鹰这种东西。”
