Chapter 13

CHAPTER 13 "So, when we are merciful, we're acting more like God?" Mary asked. "Exactly!" Pearl replied. "We can be merciful to others because God has been merciful to us." "Even our enemies?" Bob asked. "Especially our enemies," Pearl said. "Even Mr. Nemesis?" Mary watched the fierce feline, still dangling from the branch by one claw. "I suppose since nemesis actually means 'enemy,' he would be included," Pearl confirmed. "Well, there is no way I'm helping him!" Merle exclaimed, stepping back from the window. "He'll eat us the first chance he gets." Bob and Mary sided with Merle, leaving Pearl standing alone. "Fine," Pearl said. "If you won't help him, I will. I'll go and get Michael. Hold on!" Pearl called up to the cat, "I'm going to get help!" "Michael won't want to help him either!" Merle said. "Then I'll get Jane." Pearl scurried out into the hallway to find the little girl, just as Larry hopped through the window from the walnut tree to join the others.

第十三章“所以，当我们仁慈的时候，我们的行为就更像上帝了？”玛丽问道。 “完全正确!”珠儿回答道。“我们可以对别人仁慈，因为上帝对我们仁慈。” “即使是我们的敌人？”鲍勃问。 “尤其是我们的敌人，”珀尔说。 “即使是克星先生？”玛丽看着那只凶猛的猫，一只爪子还吊在树枝上。 “我想既然nemesis实际上是‘敌人’的意思，他应该被包括在内，”珀尔证实道。 “好吧，我不可能帮他！”莫尔喊道，从窗口退了回来。 “他一有机会就会把我们吃掉。” 鲍勃和玛丽站在莫尔一边，留下珠儿一个人站着。 “很好，”珠儿说。“如果你不帮他，我来帮他。 我去叫迈克尔。坚持住!”珀尔向猫喊道：“我去找人帮忙！”“迈克尔也不会想帮他的！”默尔说。 “那我去叫简。”珀尔急忙跑到走廊去找小女孩，这时拉里从核桃树上跳出窗户，加入了其他人的行列。

"Jane will definitely help," Merle said. "She loves Mr. Nemesis." He shrugged. "Who knows why." "Hey?!" Bob asked, holding up his two front paws. He had been counting beatitudes with his toes. "I only counted seven." Since squirrels have only a total of eight toes on their front paws, he was almost out of toes. He stuck up his last one. "What about number eight?" "God blesses those who are persecuted for doing right," Merle recalled. "Oh, great," Larry said. "If Pearl gets Mr. Nemesis down from that tree, prepare to be blessed."

“简肯定会帮上忙，”梅尔说。 “她爱克星先生。”他耸了耸肩。 “谁知道为什么。”“嘿? !”鲍勃举起两只前爪问道。 他一直在用脚趾数福音。 “我只数了七个。”因为松鼠的前爪上总共只有八个脚趾，他几乎没有脚趾了。 他竖起了最后一根。“那8号呢？”梅尔回忆说：“上帝保佑那些因行善而受到迫害的人。” “哦，太好了，”拉里说。“如果珠儿把克星先生从树上弄下来，准备好接受祝福吧。”
