03 On Patrol

CHAPTER 3 ON PATROL Tag, Skyla, and Bod began their mission as the sun set behind the trees. Tag and Bod flew through the purple- orange sky. Skyla jumped from branch to branch below.

第三章巡逻当太阳落在树后时，泰格、斯凯拉和博德开始了他们的任务。 泰格和博德在紫橙色的天空中飞翔。 斯凯拉在下面的树枝间跳来跳去。

They were headed for a part of Valor Wood that Tag had never been to. The ground was covered with soft green moss and small piles of soil. It looked like burrows or holes had been dug there. Skyla jumped to the ground and peered inside one of the big holes. "It goes a long way down," she said, her voice echoing. She dropped an acorn into the hole. But there was no sound of it hitting the bottom.

他们朝泰格从未去过的英勇森林进发。 地面上覆盖着柔软的绿色苔藓和小堆土。 看起来像是有人在那里挖了洞。 斯凯拉跳到地上，向其中一个大洞里张望。 “往下走很长一段路，”她说，声音回响着。 她把一颗橡子扔进洞里。 但是没有听到它触底的声音。

Tag and Bod landed beside her. "Hmm," Tag said. "I wonder who made these holes?" Bod gave a big yawn. "Probably just moles or mice or something," he said. "This is so boring!" "Then why don't you go home and leave the patrolling to us," Skyla snapped. Bod rolled his eyes. They walked on through the woods, looking for anything strange or unusual. Bod wandered off into the trees. But then he froze. "Did you see that?" he whispered. Tag peered in Bod's direction. "I don't see anything," he said. The leaves rustled. Then suddenly

泰格和博德落在她身边。 “嗯，”泰格说。“我想知道这些洞是谁挖的？”伯德打了一个大大的哈欠。 “可能只是鼹鼠或老鼠之类的东西，”他说。 “这太无聊了！”“那你为什么不回家，让我们来巡逻呢？”斯凯拉厉声说。 伯德翻了个白眼。他们继续穿过树林，寻找任何奇怪或不寻常的东西。 伯德走到树林里去了。 但随后他僵住了。“你看到了吗？”他小声说。 泰格朝伯德的方向看了看。 “我什么也没看见，”他说。 树叶沙沙作响。然后突然

WHOOSH! Something small, gray, and very fast raced past them, almost knocking Tag over. Bod screamed and flew in the opposite direction. "Bod!" Tag called. "We have to stay together." But Bod was gone. Tag pulled out his dagger and Skyla reached for her slingshot. They chased after the small gray creature.

嗖!一个灰色的小东西飞快地从他们身边跑过，差点把泰格撞倒。 伯德尖叫着朝相反的方向飞去了。 “Bod !”标签。“我们必须待在一起。” 但伯德已经走了。泰格拔出匕首，斯凯拉伸手去拿弹弓。 他们追赶那个灰色的小生物。

"It's so fast!" Skyla called from the trees. "It is too fast for a normal animal!" Tag puffed. Skyla flipped out of the tree and landed on the creature's back. It fell into the dirt facedown. "Gotcha!" she shouted. Tag landed beside her, holding his dagger tight. Then he frowned. Skyla had just trapped a mole! It was smaller than Tag, with light gray fur and a small, twitchy tail.

“太快了！”斯凯拉在树林里叫道。 “对一只正常的动物来说太快了！”标签膨化。 斯凯拉从树上跳了下来，落在那个怪物的背上。 它面朝下掉进了泥土里。 “抓到你了！”她喊道。泰格紧攥着匕首落在她身边。 然后他皱起了眉头。斯凯拉刚刚抓到了一个内鬼！它比泰格小，长着浅灰色的毛和一条颤动的小尾巴。

"We are Owls of Valor," Skyla said. "Did something scare you? Do you need our help?" The mole turned slowly to face them. Tag and Skyla gasped and jumped back. It was no ordinary mole. It had orange eyes!

“我们是英勇的猫头鹰。”斯凯拉说。 “有什么吓到你了吗？”需要我们的帮助吗？”鼹鼠慢慢地转过身来面对他们。 泰格和斯凯拉倒吸了一口气，跳了回去。 这不是一颗普通的痣。它有橙色的眼睛！
