7 Tall, Taller, Tallest

Tall, Taller, Tallest

高，更高，最高

It was Not-James-Madison-Day Monday. No school. Judy poked her head into Stink's room. "Stink, I'm supposed to be nice to you." "Did Mom say?" "Yep." "Because of the newt?" "Yep. And I'm supposed to make you feel taller or something. So, Stinkerbell, how about a birthday party?" "A birthday party? For who?" "Come downstairs and see." Stink raced down the steps, two at a time.

星期一不是詹姆斯·麦迪逊纪念日。 没有学校。朱迪把头伸进臭臭的房间。 “臭小子，我应该对你好才对。” “妈妈说了吗？”“是的。”“因为蝾螈？”“是的。 我应该让你觉得自己高了些什么的。 那么，臭铃铛，开个生日派对怎么样？”“生日聚会？” 谁?”“下楼去看看。” 臭臭一步两级地跑下台阶。

Mom brought out twenty cupcakes on a big plate. They each had a letter on them, and all together, they spelled HAPPY JAMES MADISON DAY. Dad lit the candles.

妈妈拿出一个大盘子里的二十个纸杯蛋糕。 每张纸上都有一个字母，拼成“詹姆斯·麦迪逊节快乐”。 爸爸点燃了蜡烛。

Everybody sang the James Madison State Song. Stink blew out all twenty candles. He ate an M, an A, and half of a D. Two and a half cupcakes! "Presents!" said Judy. "Presents? It's not even anybody's real birthday," said Stink. "It's James Madison's un-birthday," said Judy. "Dad and I made you a card," said Mom. "A Presidents' Day card." "It was kind of short notice," said Dad. "So we printed some stuff off the Internet." Stink opened the card. It had pictures of short people. At the bottom of the card, Mom and Dad had printed in big letters:

每个人都唱着詹姆斯·麦迪逊州歌。 臭气把二十支蜡烛都吹灭了。 他吃了一个M，一个A，半个D。 两个半纸杯蛋糕！“礼物！”朱迪说。 “礼物?这甚至不是任何人真正的生日。”臭臭说。 “今天是詹姆斯·麦迪逊的非生日，”朱迪说。 “爸爸和我给你做了一张卡片，”妈妈说。 “一张总统日卡片。”“这是临时通知，”爸爸说。 “所以我们从网上打印了一些东西。” 臭臭打开了卡片。上面有矮个子的照片。 在卡片的底部，爸爸妈妈用大字写着：

YOU'RE ONLY AS SHORT AS YOU FEEL! "I found the famous Wrestler Guy," said Judy. "Thanks!" said Stink. "Now mine," Judy said. Stink ripped it open. "It's a fun mirror!" Judy told him. "From Rocky's old magic kit. I made it into a presidents mirror. One side is the James Madison side and the other is the Abe Lincoln side." Stink looked at himself in the James Madison side of the mirror. He looked super-shrimpy, and wide as a warthog. Everybody cracked up. "Try the other side!" said Judy. Now Stink looked skinny as a pencil and tall as Abe Lincoln.

你觉得自己有多矮，你就有多矮！“我找到了那个著名的摔跤手，”朱迪说。 “谢谢！”臭臭说。“现在轮到我了，”朱迪说。 臭气把它撕开了。“这是一面有趣的镜子！”朱迪告诉他。 “洛奇的旧魔法工具箱里的。 我把它做成了一面总统镜。 一边是詹姆斯·麦迪逊一边是亚伯拉罕·林肯 臭臭从詹姆斯·麦迪逊那边的镜子里看着自己。 他看起来超级小虾，像疣猪一样宽。 每个人都笑了。“试试另一边！”朱迪说。 现在臭臭瘦得像铅笔，高得像林肯。
