2 SNOWSHOES

SNOWSHOES CHARTER 2 Sassafras saw the Thinking Goggles on my head and perked up. Now I just needed to think. Hmmm. Maybe making a snow angel would help! The cold snow tickled the back of my head as I swooshed my arms and legs back and forth. The first idea that popped

黄樟看到我头上的“思考镜”，兴奋起来。 现在我只需要想想。 嗯。也许做一个雪天使会有帮助！当我前后摆动胳膊和腿时，冰冷的雪使我的后脑勺发痒。 这是我想到的第一个点子

into my head cracked me up. I could put Sassafras inside a giant plastic ball. As he walked, the ball would roll and his little paws would never get wet! OK, maybe he wouldn't go for that. But it did sound pretty fun. "Good one, Thinking Goggles." I giggled as I finished making a snow angel. I stood up and brushed myself off, and a tiny bit of snow dust sneaked its way into my boot. I shivered. A second solution popped into my head. "Oooh! I like it!" I exclaimed and then ran for the kitchen door.

进入我的头脑使我崩溃。 我可以把黄樟放在一个巨大的塑料球里。 当他走路时，球会滚动，他的小爪子永远不会湿！好吧，也许他不会同意。 但听起来确实很有趣。 “说得好，思维护目镜。” 我咯咯地笑，因为我完成了一个雪天使。 我站起来，掸了掸身上的毛，一点点雪尘悄悄溜进了我的靴子里。 我不禁打了个哆嗦。第二个解决方案突然出现在我的脑海里。 “噢!我喜欢！”我喊道，然后跑向厨房门。

I left my boots by the door and ran to scoop up my cat. "Sassafras, I have a plan!" I told him. He purred and bumped his head against mine. "We just need to ask Mom for some help and I think we'll be all set!" "Ask me what?" my mom said as she entered the room, leafing through the mail. "I have a great idea. You know how Sassafras hates the snow?" "Mmm-hmm." "I'll make him little tiny snowshoes! That way he can play in the snow, but his paws will stay dry. I put my Thinking Goggles on, and after the first idea, I remembered that Xander's dog wears little Velcro snowshoes when his family hikes in the snow."

我把靴子放在门边，跑去把我的猫抱起来。 “黄樟，我有个计划！”我告诉了他。 他咕噜咕噜地叫着，把头撞在我的头上。 “我们只需要找妈妈帮忙，我想我们就能搞定了！”“问我什么？”妈妈走进房间，一边翻着邮件一边说。 “我有一个好主意。你知道檫檫有多讨厌雪吗？”“嗯。” “我要给他做一双小小的雪鞋！”这样他就可以在雪中玩耍，但他的爪子会保持干燥。 我戴上了思考镜，想到第一个想法后，我想起Xander的狗在雪地里远足时穿着小小的魔术贴雪鞋。”

"Hmmm." Mom wrinkled her nose a little. "Do you think he'd wear them?" I looked deep into Sassafras' eyes. "Sassafras. If I make you snowshoes so your paws won't get wet, will you wear them?"

“嗯。”妈妈皱了皱鼻子。 “你觉得他会戴吗？”我深深凝视着萨萨弗拉斯的眼睛。 ”黄樟。如果我给你做一双雪鞋，这样你的爪子就不会湿了，你会穿吗？”

Sassafras looked deep into my eyes. Then he licked my nose. Mom and I both laughed. "Can we try making them, Mom? Pleeease?" "OK, let's give it a try. But don't be upset if he won't wear them." "I promise! Do you have any waterproof fabric? And can you help me with the sewing machine, pleeeease?" I smiled sweetly at my mom. She grinned back and waved for me to follow her. "Let's see what I've got in the hall closet. Thankfully, we won't need much material— Sassafras has such little paws!" I set Sassafras down and we both followed Mom. "Huh," Mom said as she rummaged through the fabric scraps. "I'm not seeing any waterproof fabric in here. And I only have a little bit of Velcro left." She held up a tiny square. "Oooh, Velcro would be perfect, but that's only enough for one shoe. I don't think he'd enjoy having to balance on one foot!" "I have to go to the grocery store anyway. Why

黄樟深深地凝视着我的眼睛。 然后他舔了舔我的鼻子。妈妈和我都笑了。 “我们可以试着做吗，妈妈？” Pleeease ?”“好吧，让我们试一试。 但如果他不戴，你也不要难过。” “我保证!你们有防水面料吗？ 你能帮我修一下缝纫机吗？”我对妈妈甜甜地笑了笑。 她咧嘴一笑，挥手让我跟她走。 “让我看看我在大厅壁橱里有什么。 谢天谢地，我们不需要太多材料——黄樟有这么小的爪子！”我放下黄樟，我们俩跟着妈妈。 “嗯，”妈妈一边说一边翻找着碎布。 “我在这里没有看到任何防水织物。 我只剩下一点点魔术贴了。” 她举起一个小方块。 “哦，维可牢尼龙搭扣是完美的，但那只够装一只鞋。 我想他不会喜欢用一只脚保持平衡的！”“反正我也得去杂货店。 为什么

don't we make a list of supplies you need, and I'll make a quick stop at the fabric store while I'm out?" "Thanks, Mom!" I gave her a big hug. We made the list, and Mom left. Sassafras curled up in my lap and I sketched a few different cat snowshoe designs while we waited for her to get back. Then we heard it. The magic doorbell! Help

我们把你需要的东西列个清单吧，我出去的时候顺便去一下布料店，好吗？”“谢谢你,妈妈!”我给了她一个大大的拥抱。 我们列了单子，妈妈就走了。 黄樟草蜷缩在我的腿上，我在等她回来的时候画了一些不同的猫雪鞋图案。 然后我们听到了。神奇的门铃！帮助
