Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4 "You went back into the cave by yourself in the middle of the night? What is wrong with you?" Sadie exclaimed as the friends headed toward Michael's house. All three lived close enough to school to walk on nice days, and this was a beautiful day. However, Michael and Justin had long since made the decision to walk to and from school even on not-so-nice days, even on horrible days when the rain blew sideways or giant icicles fell from the sky. Walking to school meant you didn't have to take the bus, and not taking the bus meant steering clear of Edgar. "I know, I know— it wasn't the best idea I've ever had," Michael admitted. "But wait until you see what I found." "It's pretty disgusting," Justin said. "Shhhhh! Don't say anything, Justin!" Michael said. "You both have to promise not to tell anyone what you're about to see."

“你大半夜一个人回到山洞里去了？” 你怎么了？”赛迪叫道，朋友们朝迈克尔的家走去。 他们三个都住在离学校很近的地方，天气好的时候可以走路，今天天气很好。 然而，迈克尔和贾斯汀早就决定走路上下学，即使天气不太好，即使下雨或巨大的冰柱从天而降的可怕日子也不例外。 步行去学校意味着你不必乘公共汽车，而不乘公共汽车意味着避开埃德加。 “我知道，我知道——这不是我有过的最好的主意，”迈克尔承认。 “但你等着看我的发现吧。” “太恶心了，”贾斯汀说。 “嘘!什么也别说，贾斯汀！”迈克尔说。 “你们两个都要保证不把你们将要看到的东西告诉任何人。”

"I know what I'm about to see, so threatening to not show me if I don't promise doesn't make any sense," Justin pointed out. "Will you just promise already?" Michael demanded. Justin thought for a moment, then shrugged and said, "All right. I promise." "I'm not interested in seeing something disgusting," Sadie said.

“我知道我将要看到什么，所以如果我不答应就威胁我不给我看是没有任何意义的，”贾斯汀指出。 “你能答应我吗？”迈克尔问道。 贾斯汀想了一会儿，耸耸肩说：“好吧。 我保证。”“我对恶心的东西不感兴趣，”赛迪说。

"That's just Justin's opinion. You're gonna think it's the coolest thing ever." The trio arrived at Michael's house. He paused before opening the door and looked at Sadie. "So do you promise?" "Okay, okay, I promise," Sadie replied. Michael pushed open the door, and they went inside.

“这只是贾斯汀的个人观点。 你会觉得这是最酷的东西。” 三人来到了迈克尔的家。 他在开门之前停了一下，看着赛迪。 “那你答应吗？”“好吧，好吧，我保证。”赛迪回答。 迈克尔推开门，他们走了进去。
