1 A Terrible Flap

chapter 1 A TERRIBLE FLAP "Are we going to get out of this alive?" yelled Judy Dubble. "Sure!" Andrew yelled back. But he was thinking, If we get out of this alive, I'll never, ever do anything like this again, ever! Thanks to an accident with his newest invention, the Atom Sucker, Andrew was smaller than a flea's knee. And so were Andrew's cousin Judy and his robot buddy, Thudd. Now they were all dangling from a hair of a dog's floppy ear. Ahwoooo! The dog, Harley, was standing in a big white bathtub. Harley's owner, Mrs. Scuttle, was about to give him a bath! Water thundered out of the

“我们能活着出去吗？”朱迪·杜布尔喊道。 “当然!”安德鲁喊道。 但他在想，如果我们能活着出去，我就再也不做这种事了，永远！多亏了他的新发明原子吸盘的一次意外，安德鲁比跳蚤的膝盖还小。 安德鲁的表姐朱迪和他的机器人伙伴泰德也是如此。 现在他们都被挂在狗耷拉着的耳朵上。 Ahwoooo !那只叫哈利的狗正站在一个白色的大浴缸里。 哈利的主人斯卡托太太正要给他洗澡！水轰隆隆地涌出

faucet. Hot steam curled into the air. Mrs. Scuttle's face was a huge, grumpy storm cloud above the tub. Andrew thought about the two things that might save them. One was a cube of Um-bubble in his back pocket. The other was the helicopter that had gotten shrunk, too. Andrew and Judy had been searching for it in the endless furry forest of dog hair. They hadn't found it yet. Mrs. Scuttle wrapped her giant, squiddy fingers around Harley's collar. "Get over here, mister!" she yelled. She yanked Harley to the front of the tub. Woof! Harley shook his head. His long brown ear flapped toward the roaring faucet. meep… "Hang tight!" squeaked Thudd from one of Andrew's shirt pockets. Harley's ear hit the spray. Water drops sloshed over Andrew and Judy. Andrew coughed and blew water out of his nose.

水龙头。热蒸汽袅袅升向空中。 斯卡特尔太太的脸在浴缸上方像一片巨大的、脾气暴躁的乌云。 安德鲁想到了两件可能救他们的事。 一个是他后口袋里的一块Um-bubble。 另一架直升机也被缩小了。 安德鲁和朱迪一直在无尽的狗毛森林里寻找它。 他们还没有找到。斯卡托太太用她那又大又湿的手指搂住哈利的衣领。 “过来，先生！”她喊道。 她把哈利拽到浴盆前。 汪!哈利摇了摇头。 他那棕色的长耳朵朝着咆哮的水龙头拍打着。 “抓紧！”泰德从安德鲁的一个衬衫口袋里尖声叫道。 哈利的耳朵碰到了水花。 水滴溅在安德鲁和朱迪身上。 安德鲁咳嗽着，把鼻子里的水吹出来。

Thudd pinched his way up Andrew's shirt. meep… "Oody okey-dokey?" Thudd squeaked as loudly as he could. Judy pulled a strand of frizzy brown hair away from her eyes. "I'm smaller than the eye of a fly and hanging on to a soggy dog hair!" she yelled down. "What do you think?" "I'm really sorry about this," Andrew called up to Judy. "I just wanted to write a great report on ants!" "Dirty dirty dog!" said Mrs. Scuttle, high above them. "This is what you get for rolling in garbage!" A shower of pink dust rained down past Harley's ear. Andrew looked up to see that it was pouring from a jar in Mrs. Scuttle's hand. The label on the jar read "htaB elbbuB."

砰砰从安德鲁的衬衫里挤了出来。 “好吧，好吧？”砰砰使劲地吱吱叫着。 朱迪把一缕卷曲的棕色头发从眼前拉开。 “我比苍蝇的眼睛还小，还抓着一根湿透的狗毛！”她大声喊道。 “你觉得怎么样？”“我真的很抱歉，”安德鲁向朱迪喊道。 “我只是想写一篇关于蚂蚁的好报告！”“肮脏肮脏的狗！”斯卡特尔太太高高在上说。 “这就是你滚垃圾的下场！”一阵粉红色的尘土从哈利耳边落下。 安德鲁抬起头来，看到水正从斯卡特尔太太手里的一个罐子里倒出来。 罐子上的标签上写着“htaB elbbuB”。

Whoops! thought Andrew. I'm reading it upside down! "Bubble bath!" he said.

哎呀!认为安德鲁。我把它读反了！“泡泡浴！”他说。

"Ahhhh… chooof!" Judy sneezed. "I'm allergic to bubble bath!" Bubble bath dusted Harley's head like pink snow. Harley shook his head. His ear flapped out like a furry magic carpet! "Andrew!" screamed Judy. "I see something shiny inside Harley's ear! I think it's the helicopter!" WHAPPPP! The ear smacked into the tub! "Yaaarghhh!" Andrew screamed as he lost his grip on his dog hair. With one hand, he pushed Thudd into his shirt pocket. With the other, he reached for the little cube of Um-bubble in his back pocket.

“啊……chooof !”朱迪打喷嚏。 “我对泡泡浴过敏！”泡泡浴像粉红色的雪一样洒在哈利的头上。 哈利摇了摇头。他的耳朵像一张毛茸茸的魔毯一样扑扇着！“安德鲁！”朱迪尖叫道。 “我看到哈利的耳朵里有东西在发光！”我想是直升机！”WHAPPPP !耳朵撞到浴缸里了！“Yaaarghhh !”安德鲁尖叫起来，因为他抓不住自己的狗毛。 他用一只手把萨德塞进衬衫口袋里。 另一只手，他伸手去拿后口袋里的一小块泡泡糖。
