5 At the Bakery

CHAPTER 5

第五章

At the Bakery Lucas grabbed Ruskin from dragon training and raced to Clara's house. Clara lived above her father's bakery, the Daily Bread. Lucas couldn't wait to tell her about his morning. Bells jingled as Lucas pushed open the door to the bakery. Ruskin scampered in behind him. "Well, look who's here!" said Clara's father, Owen Gills. Mr. Gills reached into a basket and tossed a biscuit to Ruskin. Ruskin caught it between his teeth. Crumbs rained from his mouth as he munched the biscuit. "It sure smells good in here!" remarked Lucas. "We're making cookies and bread for the Grand Tournament," said Clara. "You want to help?"

在面包房，卢卡斯抓住正在驯龙的罗斯金，跑到克拉拉家。 克拉拉住在她父亲的面包店“每日面包”的楼上。 卢卡斯迫不及待地告诉她他的早晨。 卢卡斯推开面包店的门，铃铛叮当作响。 罗斯金跟着他跑了进来。 “哦，看看谁来了！”克拉拉的父亲欧文·吉尔斯说。 吉尔斯先生把手伸进篮子里，扔给罗斯金一块饼干。 罗斯金用牙齿咬住了它。 他大嚼饼干时，面包屑从他嘴里掉了出来。 “这儿闻起来真香！”卢卡斯说。 “我们在为大赛做饼干和面包，”克拉拉说。 “你想帮忙吗？”

"Sure!" said Lucas. He loved to help in the bakery. Lucas washed his hands in a basin, took off his cape, and tied an apron around his waist.

“当然！”卢卡斯说。他喜欢在面包店帮忙。 卢卡斯在盆里洗手，脱下斗篷，把围裙系在腰上。

"Look what we've made so far!" Clara said excitedly. She pointed to racks of bread and cookies shaped like swords, shields, dragons, and horses. Lucas's stomach

“看看我们到目前为止做了什么！”克拉拉兴奋地说。 她指着一架架形状像剑、盾、龙和马的面包和饼干。 卢卡斯的胃

rumbled. "I feel like I could eat a horse!" Lucas declared. Mr. Gills laughed. "Please, help yourself!" he said. Lucas slid a horse-shaped cookie from a cookie tray and took a huge bite.

隆隆作响。“我觉得我能吃下一匹马！”卢卡斯说。 吉尔斯先生笑了。“请随便吃！”他说。 卢卡斯从饼干盘里滑出一块马形饼干，咬了一大口。

"Mmm," he moaned. "Best horse I've ever had!" "We only use the finest horses in our recipes," Mr. Gills said with a wink. "Ew, that's disgusting!" said Clara as she plopped a ball of dough in front of Lucas.

“嗯，”他呻吟道。“我有过的最好的马！”“我们的食谱里只使用最好的马，”吉尔斯先生眨眨眼说。 “呃，太恶心了！”克拉拉一边说一边把一个面团团扔到卢卡斯面前。
