06 Danger!

CHAPTER 6 DANGER! Tag gripped his dagger while Skyla held up her slingshot. "Who's there?" Blaze cried. The three friends looked around, trying to see who had called out to them to stop.

第六章危险！泰格紧握着匕首，斯凯拉举起她的弹弓。 “谁在那里?”大火哭了。 三个朋友环顾四周，想看看是谁在喊他们停下来。

The branches in one of the strange twisted trees began to sway. The pastel-colored cotton-candy balls, which Tag had thought were flowers, suddenly dropped off the tree one by one. The fluffballs floated down to land at the friends' feet. Tag looked at the round, fluffy balls. They were creatures with large eyes. They didn't seem to have any arms, legs, feet, or wings. "SHHH!" the creatures said together.

一棵奇怪的扭曲的树上的树枝开始摇摆。 泰格以为是花的彩色棉花糖球突然一个接一个地从树上掉了下来。 绒毛球飘下来，落在朋友们的脚边。 泰格看着那些又圆又毛茸茸的球。 它们是长着大眼睛的生物。 它们似乎没有胳膊、腿、脚或翅膀。 “嘘！”动物们齐声说。

"Why do we need to be quiet?" Tag whispered. The creatures stared at the shimmering blue stream with wide eyes. "Don't go near that!" they said. "Why not?" Skyla asked. "We're really thirsty and—" She froze as the stream began to move. The strange-looking water began to churn and bubble. Tag gulped and took a step back. Suddenly, hundreds of large fish with sharp snapping teeth jumped out of the water.

“我们为什么要保持安静？”标签低声说。 动物们睁大眼睛凝视着波光粼粼的蓝色小溪。 “不要靠近那个！”他们说。 “为什么不?”Skyla问道。“我们真的很渴，而且——”当溪水开始流动时，她僵住了。 看起来很奇怪的水开始翻腾起泡沫。 泰格咽了口气，向后退了一步。 突然，数百条长着锋利牙齿的大鱼跃出水面。

"Snappy fish!" the fluffy creatures yelled. They backed away, their eyes wide and their fur trembling. The shiny blue fish leaped in and out of the water, snapping their long, spiky teeth at the friends.

“活泼的鱼！”毛茸茸的动物喊道。 他们往后退，眼睛睁得大大的，浑身发抖。 闪亮的蓝色鱼在水里跳来跳去，向朋友们撕咬着它们长长的尖牙。

One of the fish flew out of the water and landed on the ground near the three friends. It snapped and wriggled toward them slowly, weaving its way through the tall pink grass. Then it grinned at them, showing off its very sharp fangs.

其中一条鱼飞出水面，落在三个朋友附近的地上。 它啪的一声，慢慢地扭动着向他们走来，在高高的粉红色草丛中蜿蜒而行。 然后它朝他们咧嘴一笑，炫耀着它非常锋利的尖牙。

Tag held out his dagger. "Stay back!" he warned the fish. But another fish jumped out of the water, then another, wriggling closer. Skyla shot an acorn at one of them, but the acorn just bounced off its thick, rubbery skin. "What should we do?" Skyla asked Tag. Blaze stepped forward, her feathers bright. "SKRAAAAAAAA!" she cried. The snappy fish on land paused, then splashed back into the river, swimming away quickly. Tag sighed. "We need to be more careful," he told Skyla and Blaze. Skyla turned to the fluffy creatures. "Thank you," she said. "For warning us." The fluffy creatures smiled.

泰格伸出他的匕首。“退后！”他警告鱼。 但另一条鱼从水里跳出来，然后是另一条，扭动着靠近。 斯凯拉用一颗橡子射了其中一颗，但橡子只是从厚厚的橡胶皮上弹了回来。 “我们该怎么办？”斯凯拉问泰格。 烈焰走上前去，羽毛闪闪发光。 “SKRAAAAAAAA!”她叫道。陆地上活泼的鱼停了下来，然后溅起水花回到河里，迅速游走了。 标签叹了口气。“我们需要更加小心，”他告诉斯凯拉和布雷兹。 斯凯拉转向毛茸茸的生物。 “谢谢你，”她说。“谢谢你警告我们。” 毛茸茸的动物笑了。
