13 MOM!

CHAPTER 13 MOM! My eyes flew open and I looked around. The reptile book had fallen out of my hands. Sassafras quietly snored on my chest. I must've fallen asleep while I was reading. I heard my dad calling my name. Huh? Was it dinnertime already? Sassafras and I ran into the house and looked around, confused. "Is it time for dinner?"

第13章妈妈！我猛地睁开眼睛，环顾四周。 那本关于爬行动物的书从我手里掉了下来。 檫树轻轻地在我的胸口打呼噜。 我一定是看书的时候睡着了。 我听到我爸爸在叫我的名字。 嗯?已经是吃晚饭的时间了吗？ 萨萨弗拉斯和我跑进屋里，困惑地环顾四周。 “该吃晚饭了吗？”

Dad laughed. "Did you forget that your mom was coming home today?" "Mom's back? Mom's back! Mom!" I ran to her office, hugged her, and then burst into tears. "I messed everything up! There was a baby dragon and I wasn't sure what was wrong. I fed him marshmallows, and at first he got better, but then he got so much worse. I tried to fix it by feeding him fish. But I don't know if it worked. I don't want him

爸爸笑了。“你忘了你妈妈今天要回家吗？”“妈妈回来了吗? 妈妈回来了!妈妈!”我跑到她的办公室，拥抱了她，然后哭了起来。 “我把一切都搞砸了！”有一条小龙，我不知道怎么回事。 我给他吃棉花糖，一开始他好多了，但后来他变得更糟了。 我试图通过喂他鱼来解决这个问题。 但我不知道它是否有效。 我不要他

to die!" I sobbed. My mom knelt down and looked me in the eye. "Oh, Zoey. You must've been very worried. But magical animals are much tougher than you think. Let's go see how he's doing."

去死吧!”我抽泣着。我妈妈跪下来，看着我的眼睛。 “哦,佐伊。你一定很担心。 但是魔法动物比你想象的要坚强得多。 我们去看看他怎么样了。”
