5 Day of the Living Puddle

CHAPTER 5 DAY OF THE LIVING PUDDLE So here I am. Kicked out of my own home. Sitting in a puddle. Yes, that's right. I landed in a puddle.

第五章活水坑的一天我就在这里。 被赶出自己的家。 坐在水坑里。是的，没错。 我落在一个水坑里。

And to make things worse, the puddle is getting bigger. And bigger. And bigger.

更糟糕的是，水坑越来越大。 和更大的。和更大的。

And bigger!

和更大的!

Uh-oh, this is no ordinary puddle. This is the sort of puddle that will just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger until it empuddles the whole world…

这可不是普通的水坑。 这种水坑只会变得越来越大，越来越大，直到把整个世界都淹没……

ABOVE: An artist's impression of a puddle empuddling planet Earth. But never fear… as well as making books, Terry and I are the greatest puddle-fighting duo the world has ever known. We are every puddle's worst nightmare. Terry stomps them and then I suck them up with a straw. The Stomper and The Sucker… (Come to think of it, our story would make a great movie!)

上图：一个艺术家对地球上的水坑的印象。 但别担心，除了写书，特里和我是世界上最伟大的水坑格斗搭档。 我们是每个水坑最可怕的噩梦。 特里踩着它们，然后我用吸管把它们吸起来。 （想想看，我们的故事可以拍成一部很棒的电影！）

But this is no time to be thinking about movies. This is real life. I have to send out the secret puddle-fighting call and get the old team back together! 'Stomper!' I yell.

但现在不是思考电影的时候。 这是真实的生活。我必须发出秘密的水坑大战召唤让老团队重新团结起来！“节拍!”我吼道。
