Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 Pearl scurried along the thick branch of the walnut tree outside of Michael's room, carrying a sack of walnuts. She jumped down onto the windowsill and called out, "Merle! Breakfast!" Walnuts were plentiful at that time of year, so it hadn't taken her long to find enough nuts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She climbed into the room and looked around for Merle. "Hello?" she called out.

第三章珠儿拎着一袋核桃，沿着迈克尔房间外核桃树的粗枝快步走着。 她跳上窗台，喊道：“梅尔！早餐!”在一年中的这个时候，核桃很丰富，所以她很快就找到了足够的早餐、午餐和晚餐的坚果。 她爬进房间，四处寻找莫尔。 “喂？”她喊道。

"Ahhhhh! Good morning!" Merle sighed cheerfully as he exited Michael's bathroom, wiping his wet whiskers with the back of his paw. "It's incredible! No matter how much I drink, it keeps filling itself back up! I tell you, Pearl, it's like the loaves and the fishes!" A few days earlier, Merle had discovered an inexhaustible source of water in Michael's bathroom. Merle had been so excited that Michael hadn't had the heart to tell him what a toilet is supposed to be used for. The bedroom door burst open, and Michael ran in. "Hey, guys, gotta go! Justin's here!" He scurried for his backpack. For Justin, being on time to school meant getting there 30 minutes early. Being late totally freaked Justin out, which totally stressed Michael out. The result was two fifth graders who were always on time, which was a positive as far as their parents and teachers were concerned. "Have a great day, and figure out a good plan!" Michael called as he rushed out the door. Pearl noticed that his math book was still on the desk, but before she could remind him to take it, he shouted, "Make sure you keep the door closed in case Mr. Nemesis gets out! Bye!" And with that, he shut the door. "You forgot your math book!" Pearl called, but Michael was gone.

“啊! ! !早上好!”莫尔高兴地叹了口气，从迈克尔的浴室里出来，用爪子的背面擦着湿漉漉的胡须。 “这是难以置信的!不管我喝了多少，它总是自己填满！我告诉你，珠儿，这就像面包和鱼一样！”几天前，梅尔在迈克尔的浴室里发现了取之不尽用之不竭的水源。 莫尔太激动了，迈克尔都不忍心告诉他厕所是干什么用的。 卧室的门突然开了，迈克尔跑了进来。 “嘿，伙计们，得走了！”贾斯汀在这里!”他急忙去拿背包。 对贾斯汀来说，准时上学意味着提前30分钟到学校。 迟到把贾斯汀吓坏了，这也让迈克尔压力很大。 结果是两个五年级的学生总是准时，这对他们的父母和老师来说是积极的。 “祝你今天愉快，制定一个好计划！”迈克尔冲出门喊道。 珀尔注意到他的数学书还在桌子上，但她还没来得及提醒他拿，他就喊道：“你一定要把门关好，以防克星先生跑出去！”再见!”说完，他关上了门。 “你忘了你的数学书！”珀尔打电话来，但迈克尔已经走了。
