16 SMOKE

CHAPTER 16 SMOKE? I cleaned out Marshmallow's pen while Sassafras watched. It looked so empty without our little dragon bounding around. Even Sassafras was mopey. We all really missed Marshmallow. I sniffed back another wave of tears. Wait a minute. I sniffed again. "Do you smell smoke, Sassafras? Where's it coming from?" Sassafras pawed at the barn door and meowed. Oh no, was something burning outside? We burst

第十六章烟？我清理了棉花糖的钢笔，黄樟在旁边看着。 没有我们的小龙蹦蹦跳跳，它看起来很空。 就连萨萨法斯也闷闷不乐。我们都很想念棉花糖。 我又忍住了眼泪。 等一下。我又闻了闻。 “你闻到烟味了吗，黄樟？” 它是从哪儿来的？”黄樟用爪子抓着谷仓的门，喵喵叫着。 哦不，外面有什么东西在燃烧吗？ 我们突然

out of the barn to find my mom standing by a fire in our backyard fire pit. She held two sticks and a bag of marshmallows. She smiled. "Roasted marshmallows seemed like an appropriate way to celebrate your success with our dragon friend." We cuddled up by the fire telling stories about the little guy and laughing. I ate five or six marshmallows, and went to grab another one. But then I remembered how Marshmallow felt after eating the plate of marshmallows. I set my roasting stick down and just enjoyed the fire. I'd skip the stomachache!

走出谷仓，发现我妈妈站在后院的火坑旁。 她拿着两根棍子和一袋棉花糖。 她笑了。“烤棉花糖似乎是庆祝你和我们的龙朋友成功的合适方式。” 我们依偎在火炉旁，一边讲着小家伙的故事，一边笑着。 我吃了五六个棉花糖，又去拿了一个。 但后来我想起了吃完那盘棉花糖后棉花糖的感觉。 我放下烤棒，享受着炉火。 我不想胃痛！

After we headed in for the night, I went to my bedroom. Sassafras jumped up on my desk and nosed at my science notebook. It fell open to the next blank page. I laughed and snuggled him up. "Oh, Sassafras, I know how you feel. I can't wait to meet our next magical friend either!"

我们上床睡觉后，我回到自己的卧室。 黄樟跳到我的桌子上，用鼻子嗅了嗅我的科学笔记本。 它翻到了下一页。 我笑着把他抱起来。 “哦，黄樟，我知道你的感受。 我也迫不及待地想见到我们的下一位魔法朋友！”
