10 TWO ANSWERS

CHAPTER 10 TWO ANSWERS We had two answers, actually. "Look!" I held up two petri dishes. "Both onion and garlic worked!" "Wonderful!" exclaimed Mom. I took a closer look at the petri dishes. "Hmmm, it looks like there's just a little bit of bacteria on the one with onion. But it's a really small amount." Next I looked at the garlic petri dish. "OK, there's seriously nothing on this one. Does that make garlic the best choice?"

实际上，我们有两个答案。 “看!”我举起两个培养皿。 “洋葱和大蒜都有用！”“太棒了！” 我仔细看了一下培养皿。 “嗯，看起来有洋葱的那个上面只有一点点细菌。 但这个数字真的很小。” 接下来我看了看大蒜培养皿。 “好吧，这上面真的什么都没有。 所以大蒜是最好的选择吗？”

"You got it." Mom smiled. "So now we need a LOT of garlic. Like maybe all of our garlic?" My dad was obsessed with garlic so we had two full rows of it growing in our backyard. But that cut on Tiny was huge. I was going to need all of it. "Do you think Dad will mind?" "We'll have to come up with something to tell Dad," Mom said. "But I know if he could see Tiny, he would absolutely give up his garlic." That settled it. With Tiny getting worse, I didn't

“你说对了。”妈妈笑了。“所以现在我们需要很多大蒜。 比如我们所有的大蒜？”我爸爸非常喜欢大蒜，所以我们在后院种了整整两排大蒜。 但泰尼身上的伤口太大了。 我需要所有的钱。 “你觉得爸爸会介意吗？”“我们得想个办法告诉爸爸，”妈妈说。 “但我知道，如果他能看到蒂尼，他绝对会放弃大蒜的。” 这就解决了问题。因为泰妮的情况越来越糟，我没有

want to waste a single moment. I threw on my shoes and grabbed a bucket from outside the kitchen door. Tiny's droopy eyes were barely open. Sassafras perked up when he saw me burst out the back door. "We figured out how to fix the cut!" I shouted across the yard to them. I bolted to the garden, where I probably set a new record for the fastest garlic-harvesting ever. Mom and I set up a production line where I washed the garlic and she chopped off the roots and stems. I chopped batch after batch of garlic. Our kitchen smelled like an Italian restaurant! I grabbed all my supplies for a new bandage for Tiny. Mom helped me carry those and the big old bowl of chopped garlic outside. We set it all down, and Sassafras trotted toward the bowl. He took one sniff, wrinkled his nose, and sneezed. I walked over to Tiny and gently pet his nose. "OK, Tiny. I think we've got this figured out. I ran an experiment, and garlic got rid of the bad bacteria from your cut. I've chopped up a big bowl of garlic, and I'm going to gently cover your cut with it. Then

想浪费一个瞬间。 我匆匆穿上鞋子，从厨房门外抓起一个水桶。 蒂尼那双下垂的眼睛几乎没有睁开。 当看到我从后门冲出来时，萨萨拉斯兴奋了起来。 “我们找到修复伤口的方法了！”我隔着院子对他们喊道。 我跑到花园，在那里我可能创造了最快收获大蒜的新纪录。 妈妈和我建立了一条生产线，我洗大蒜，她把根和茎切掉。 我切了一批又一批大蒜。 我们的厨房闻起来像意大利餐厅！我把所有的东西都拿来给泰妮买新绷带了。 妈妈帮我把那些东西和外面那一大碗蒜末拿了出来。 我们把所有的东西都放下，萨萨弗拉斯小跑着走向碗。 他吸了一口气，皱了皱鼻子，打了个喷嚏。 我走到蒂尼身边，轻轻地抚摸着他的鼻子。 “好了,小。我想我们已经解决了。 我做了个实验，大蒜能去除你伤口上的有害细菌。 我已经切了一大碗大蒜，我要轻轻地把它盖在你的伤口上。 然后

I'll bandage it up like I did before. Your cut should feel better in a few hours." I gave his nose a pet. "I know you aren't feeling very well, but it will be easiest for me to get the garlic and the bandage on if you are standing. Do you think you can stand up for me?" Tiny gave a very small nod. But it barely ruffled my hair. Oh, Tiny! It took him a minute, but Tiny finally stood up to his full height. He carefully set his bad leg down so I could reach the swollen cut easily. "First, I'm using a clean paintbrush to spread the chopped garlic on your cut. It might tickle!" Tiny wiggled a little but did a good job holding pretty still. "Now I'm going to cover the wound and the garlic with the paper towels. Mom, can you hold this while I wrap it?" Mom held the paper towels in place with both hands while I walked around Tiny's huge leg, pulling the plastic wrap snug. Finally I used the packing tape to keep it all in the right spot on Tiny's tree trunk of a leg.

我会像以前一样包扎起来。 几小时后你的伤口就会好起来。” 我抚摩了他的鼻子。“我知道你不太舒服，但如果你站着，我就能很容易地把大蒜和绷带弄上。 你觉得你能支持我吗？”蒂尼微微点了点头。 但它几乎没有弄乱我的头发。 哦,小!他花了一分钟的时间，但是小拇指终于站起来了。 他小心翼翼地把他的坏腿放下，这样我就能很容易地够到肿起来的伤口。 “首先，我要用干净的画笔把切碎的大蒜涂在你的伤口上。 它可能会发痒！”Tiny扭动了一下，但保持得很好。 “现在我要用纸巾盖住伤口和大蒜。 妈妈，我把它包起来，你能帮我拿一下吗？”妈妈用双手把纸巾放在合适的地方，而我绕着蒂尼的大腿走着，把保鲜膜拉紧。 最后，我用包装胶带把它固定在蒂尼腿上的树干上。

I patted him. "All set, Tiny! You can hang out here if you'd like. I'm sure Sassafras would love to keep you company." "TINY FAMILY WORRY. TINY SHOULD GO." "Oh, right. That makes sense." I was a little bummed to see him go, but I knew how my parents would worry if I were gone for this long. Especially if I were sick! Mom and I hunkered down as Tiny began his

我拍了拍他。“一切都准备好了，拇指姑娘！如果你愿意，可以在这里玩。 我相信黄樟会很乐意陪你的。” “小小的家庭烦恼。蒂尼应该去。” “哦,对。这很有道理。” 看到他离开，我有点难过，但我知道如果我离开这么久，我父母会担心的。 特别是如果我生病了！妈妈和我蹲下来，看着蒂尼开始他的工作

earth-rattling hops back into the forest, but Sassafras took off after Tiny. "Come back, Sassafras! You can't follow Tiny!" I hollered. Sassafras completely ignored me. Stinker. Luckily, Tiny turned around. "NO KITTY. NO FOLLOW. TINY BE BACK SOON." Sassafras grumbled and reluctantly made his way back to us. Tiny had just disappeared when Dad burst from the house.

惊天动地的跳回了森林，但是檫檫草却跟着小拇指跑了。 “回来，黄樟！”你不能跟着拇指姑娘！”我大声喊道。 黄樟完全不理我。 其臭无比。幸运的是，蒂尼转过身来。 “没有猫。没有跟进。蒂妮很快就会回来。” 萨萨法斯嘟囔着，不情愿地回到我们身边。 当爸爸从房子里冲出来的时候，蒂尼刚刚消失。
