2 DOORBELL

CHAPTER 2 DOORBELL The doorbell rang again. "Should I… ?" I asked. "Hmm. Well, I think it's over," Mom said. "That was unexpected! We never get earthquakes around here. Are you all right?" "Yeah, I'm fine." I stayed under the table while Mom stood up and looked around. A glass jar had fallen on the ground and broken. The doorbell rang again. "OK, you run out back and see who needs help. Take Sassafras— I don't want him to step on the glass. I'll get this glass cleaned up and finish getting our milk mixture into the cooler to stay warm so we can still have our yogurt tomorrow. I should be there in just a few minutes. And Zoey? If you feel another

第二章门铃门铃又响了。 “我应该……吗？”“嗯。 好了，我想结束了，”妈妈说。 “真是出乎意料！”我们这附近从来没有地震。 你没事吧？”“是的，我很好。” 我躲在桌子底下，妈妈站起来环顾四周。 一个玻璃罐子掉在地上摔碎了。 门铃又响了。“好吧，你跑到后面去看看谁需要帮助。 拿着黄樟，我不想让他踩到玻璃。 我去把杯子洗干净，然后把牛奶混合物放进冷却器里保温，这样我们明天就可以喝酸奶了。 我几分钟后就到。 和佐伊吗?如果你有另一种感觉

earthquake, cover up and stay away from anything that could fall on you." I nodded, and Sassafras and I ran out the door. By the time we got into the barn, the doorbell had rung two more times. I threw open the back door, stepped out, and almost slammed into a rainbow wall. Or… whoa. Not a wall. A giant, huge, ENORMOUS rainbow hoof that filled the entire doorway. I let out a small squeak. I looked up, up, up, up, up. And waaaaaay up was a giant horse head with a rainbow mane and… a shiny golden horn? NO WAY. A unicorn?!?! I cleared my throat. "Ummm, hello?" A large booming voice called out, "HELLO. I HAVE OW. GIRL HELP?" It was hurt! I stepped back and saw that the ginormous unicorn was holding one of its hooves in the air. Wait. Was that what caused the earthquake? If the unicorn was hopping on three legs, then…

地震啊，盖好，远离任何可能落在你身上的东西。” 我点了点头，萨萨弗拉斯和我跑出了门。 当我们进入谷仓时，门铃又响了两下。 我猛地打开后门，走了出去，差点撞上彩虹墙。 或者……哇。不是墙。一只巨大的、巨大的、巨大的彩虹蹄子占据了整个门口。 我发出一声吱吱声。我抬头，抬头，抬头，抬头，抬头。 然后，哇，哇，出现了一个巨大的马头，长着彩虹般的鬃毛，还有一个闪闪发光的金角？ 不可能。独角兽? ! ? !我清了清嗓子。 “嗯,你好吗?”一个洪亮的声音喊道：“你好。 我有。女孩帮助吗?”它受伤了！我退后一步，看见那只巨大的独角兽正把一只蹄子举在空中。 等待。那是引起地震的原因吗？ 如果独角兽是用三条腿跳的，那么……

There was a rustling in the bushes and the smell of peppermint filled the air. I looked toward the bushes as our forest monster friend Gorp popped out. This was shaping up to be the weirdest day ever. Gorp calmly walked over to me. "Hey, Zoey. Did you feel that earthquake?" "I… uhhh… unicorn?" I spluttered. Gorp looked up at the giant unicorn. "Oh, hey, little one!" Gorp cooed as he pet the enormous unicorn leg. "Little one?" I thought. "HELLO MONSTER. HAVE OW." "Oh, poor thing!" Gorp peered around at the unicorn's raised hoof and nodded. "Aha! That's

灌木丛里沙沙作响，空气中弥漫着薄荷的味道。 我朝灌木丛望去，我们的森林怪物朋友Gorp突然跳出来。 这将是有史以来最奇怪的一天。 戈普平静地向我走来。 “嘿,佐伊。你感觉到地震了吗？”“我……啊……独角兽？”我激动地。 高普抬头看着那只巨大的独角兽。 “哦，嘿，小家伙！”戈普抚摸着那只巨大的独角兽的腿，低声说。 “小?”我想。“你好,怪物。 噢。”“啊，可怜的人儿！”戈普环顾了一下独角兽翘起的蹄子，点了点头。 “啊哈!这是

what caused all that shaking in the forest. Zoey? Are you OK? You're not saying much." "So… big," I whispered. "Big?" Gorp chuckled. "But he's so small! He must be a baby." Wait, what? "But Gorp, he's enormous!" Gorp looked confused. "How big did you expect him to be?" I felt my face flush. "I thought unicorns were the same size as horses?" Gorp laughed really hard. "The size of a horse! Humans are hilarious! Unicorns are always gigantic, obviously." It took him a while to catch his breath. "That was a good one, Zoey." I realized that Sassafras hadn't thrown himself into Gorp's arms yet. Weird. I looked around for him and was about to call his name when a large, booming voice interrupted me. "GIRL HELP OW?" Sassafras would have to wait. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" I hollered up to the unicorn. "Yes, of course. Can you show me the ow?"

是什么引起了森林里的震动。 佐伊吗?你还好吗？你说的不多。” “太……大了。”我低声说。“大吗?”高能量小吃食品咯咯地笑了。 “但是他太小了！”他一定是个婴儿。” 等等,什么?“可是哥普，他块头很大！”戈普看起来很困惑。 “你以为他会有多大？”我觉得我的脸涨得通红。 “我还以为独角兽和马一样大呢？”戈普笑得很厉害。 “马那么大！”人类很搞笑！显然，独角兽总是巨大的。” 他过了一会儿才缓过气来。 “这是个好主意，佐伊。” 我意识到萨萨夫拉斯还没有投入戈普的怀抱。 奇怪。我环顾四周寻找他，正要叫他的名字时，一个洪亮的大声音打断了我。 “姑娘，怎么帮忙？”黄樟必须等待。 “哦，我很抱歉！”我朝独角兽大喊。 “是的，当然。你能给我看看吗？”
