3 MOLDY FUR

CHAPTER 3 MOLDY FUR The monster turned back, but kept his eyes on the ground. "It's disgusting. I know." "Oh! Sorry! It's not that bad, really," I said. "I was surprised, that's all. I've never seen mold on fur before. But then again, I've never seen monster fur. Is this something that happens to lots of monsters?" "No, just to me." He sighed sadly. "It's so

第三章发霉的皮毛怪物转过身来，但眼睛一直盯着地面。 “很恶心。我知道。” “哦!对不起!“没那么糟，真的，”我说。 “我很惊讶，仅此而已。 我从来没见过皮草长霉菌。 不过话说回来，我从来没见过怪物的皮毛。 很多怪物都会遇到这种事吗？”“不，只对我说。” 他伤心地叹了口气。“这太

embarrassing. We monsters take great care with our appearance. But no matter how often I bathe, this awful mold always grows. It starts on my back and spreads until I'm covered with it!" "I'm so sorry." I felt bad for the poor monster. What a terrible problem to have. "Can you help me? There must be some way to stop the mold from growing in my fur." "I'd be happy to help. Ummm, I could..." I pressed a finger to my lips in thought. Molds can be dangerous. I'd need to think of a solution where I didn't touch the mold, or I'd have to wait until my mom was home to help. Sassafras meowed. Then he reached a paw up and bopped me on the head! "Hey! What was that for?" I frowned at him. But then I realized Sassafras Us was reminding me to use my thinking goggles. It sounds silly, but it always works. Wearing my lucky pair of goggles on my head always gives me fantastic ideas. Um, just a minute. Mister monster. I'll be right back. I've got to grab something from our house. The monster humped. My name is Gop, not

尴尬。我们怪物很注意自己的外表。 但不管我多久洗一次澡，这个可怕的霉菌还是会长出来。 它从我的背上开始蔓延，直到我被它覆盖！”“我很抱歉。” 我为这个可怜的怪物感到难过。 这是个多么可怕的问题啊。 “你能帮我吗？”一定有办法阻止霉菌在我的皮毛上生长。” “我很乐意帮忙。嗯，我可以……” 我把一根手指贴在嘴唇上沉思。 霉菌可能很危险。我需要想出一个不碰霉的办法，否则我就得等我妈妈回来帮忙了。 黄樟呜呜呜。然后他伸出一只爪子，在我的头上打了一下！“嘿!那是为了什么？”我朝他皱起眉头。 但后来我意识到檫檫草是在提醒我使用思考镜。 这听起来很傻，但总是有效的。 戴上这副幸运的护目镜总能给我带来奇妙的想法。 嗯，等一下。先生的怪物。 我马上就回来。我得去家里拿点东西。 怪物驼背。我的名字是Gop，不是

Mr. Monster." "Oh, sorry, Gorp! One second." As soon as I put my Thinking Goggles on, I thought of more questions to ask. Phew. I could probably figure out this whole problem before my mom got home. I grabbed a pen and my science journal and ran outside. I adjusted my Thinking Goggles and opened my science journal. It flipped to the page with the photo of Sassafras riding Marshmallow the dragon. I slowly ran my fingers over the photo. The shimmering light from Marshmallow's scales jumped right out of the page. It made the magical photo seem alive. Gorp cleared his throat. I quickly found a new page in my journal and wrote my problem at the top: PROBLEM: Gorp's fur is molding.

先生的怪兽”。“哦，对不起，高普！”一秒钟。” 我一戴上思考镜，就想到了更多的问题要问。 唷。我也许能在我妈回家之前解决这整个问题。 我抓起一支笔和我的科学杂志跑了出去。 我调整好我的思考镜，打开我的科学杂志。 它翻到了那一页，上面是黄樟骑着棉花糖龙的照片。 我慢慢地用手指抚摸着照片。 棉花糖的鳞片发出的微光跳出了书页。 它使这张神奇的照片看起来栩栩如生。 高普清了清嗓子。我很快在日记中找到了新的一页，在上面写下了我的问题：问题：Gorp的皮毛正在成型。

"So Gorp, how often do you take a bath? And where?" "I bathe every day in the stream." "And then what? You dry off and go home to your... monster house?" "Well, sort of. I shake my fur off, and then I go sleep in my warm cave up in the mountains." I wrote down:

“Gorp，你多久洗一次澡？” 和在哪里?”“我每天都在小溪里洗澡。” “然后呢？”你擦干衣服，然后回家… 怪兽屋?”“嗯，算是吧。 我抖掉我的毛，然后我就在山上我温暖的洞穴里睡觉。” 我写下：

NOTES Bath in stream Damp fur sleeps in warm cave .Aha! That was it. I circled the words damp and warm in my notes. This was actually just like my bread experiments. "Gorp, I solved your problem!"

湿毛睡在温暖的洞穴里。啊哈！就是这样。 我在笔记上把潮湿和温暖这两个词圈了出来。 这实际上就像我的面包实验。 “哎呀，我解决了你的问题！”
