13 A RAINBOW ROOM

CHAPTER 13 A RAINBOW ROOM I burst through the door and hollered, "Mom! Where are you? You've got to come see these!" I smiled up at Mom and held out two closed fists. "What is it, Zoey? Was everything OK down at the stream?" Mom asked. Instead of answering, I turned my fists over and opened my hands to reveal the rainbow stones. The

第十三章彩虹屋我冲进门，喊道：“妈妈！你在哪里？ 你一定要来看这些！”我朝妈妈笑了笑，伸出两只握紧的拳头。 “怎么了，佐伊？”小溪那边一切都好吗？”母亲问。 我没有回答，而是把拳头转过来，张开双手，露出彩虹石。 的

room filled with rays of shimmering rainbow light. "Ohhhhhhh." Mom reached a finger out to touch them. "What are those?" "A gift from the merhorses," I whispered. "Enchanted rainbow stones. Their caves are decorated with these. Aren't they the most beautiful things you've ever seen?" Mom carefully rolled one into her hand and stared.

房间里满是闪烁的彩虹光。 “Ohhhhhhh。”妈妈伸出一根手指去摸它们。 “那是什么？”“是人鱼给我的礼物。”我低声说。 “魔法彩虹石。 他们的洞穴用这些装饰。 它们不是你所见过的最美的东西吗？”妈妈小心翼翼地把一个卷到手里，盯着看。

We were so mesmerized by the stones that we jumped when Dad walked over to us. "What are you two up to?" Dad asked. He glanced at the stones in our hands and gave us a strange look. "Um, why are we staring at these little rocks like they're precious gems?"

我们被这些石头迷住了，当爸爸走到我们面前时，我们都跳了起来。 “你们俩在搞什么鬼？”爸爸问。 他看了看我们手里的石头，用奇怪的眼神看了我们一眼。 “嗯，为什么我们盯着这些小石头看，好像它们是珍贵的宝石一样？”

Poor Dad! He couldn't see the rainbow at all. He was really missing out. "Oh, I got them down at the stream. I think they're really special," I said. "I'll go put them in my room." "Sure. Dinner's almost ready." Dad picked up one of the stones and turned it first one way and then the other. "Huh," he said and placed it back in

可怜的爸爸!他根本看不到彩虹。 他真的错过了机会。 “哦，我在小溪边捡到的。 我觉得它们真的很特别，”我说。 “我去把它们放在我的房间里。” “当然。晚饭快好了。” 爸爸拿起其中一块石头，先把它朝一个方向转，然后又朝另一个方向转。 “嗯，”他说着把它放了回去

my hand. I went to my room and set the rainbow stones in a line on my desk. I turned off the light and stared in awe at the rainbow that shone on my walls. "This is so cool," I whispered. Sassafras jumped up on my desk and started rolling one of the rainbow stones around between his paws. "No, kitty! I don't want to lose them!" I plucked him off the desk. His legs spun around like a windmill as he tried to get back to the stones. One of his legs bopped my science journal and flipped it open. I grinned as the rainbow light shone down on a blank page, ready for our next adventure.

我的手。我回到我的房间，把彩虹石在我的桌子上排成一行。 我关了灯，敬畏地盯着墙上的彩虹。 “这太酷了，”我低声说。 黄樟跳上我的桌子，开始用爪子滚动一块彩虹石。 “不,凯蒂!我不想失去他们！”我把他从桌子上拽了下来。 他的腿像风车一样旋转着，试图回到石头那里。 他的一只腿在我的科学杂志上跳了一下，把它掀开了。 当彩虹的光芒照在一张空白的纸上时，我笑了，为我们的下一次冒险做好了准备。
