3 FIXING THE OW

CHAPTER 3 FIXING THE OW The unicorn carefully lowered its gigantic hoof. Gorp and I took a step closer and looked for anything unusual. I pointed at a scratch about the size of my arm and turned to Gorp. "Do you think that might be causing the trouble?" Then I heard a squeal behind me. It was my mom. She stood with her hands pressed against her cheeks, staring up at the unicorn. "Oh my goodness! Aren't you just the cutest little thing?" She put her arm around me. "Oh, Zoey. How special! A little itty-bitty baby unicorn!"

独角兽小心地放下它巨大的蹄子。 戈普和我走近了一步，寻找任何不寻常的东西。 我指着一个和我胳膊差不多大的划痕，然后转向戈尔普。 “你认为这可能是造成麻烦的原因吗？”然后我听到身后有一声尖叫。 是我妈妈打来的。她站在那里，双手压在脸颊上，凝视着独角兽。 “哦，我的天哪！你是不是最可爱的小东西？”她搂着我。 “哦,佐伊。多么特别的!一只小小的独角兽宝宝！”

I slapped my forehead. Was I the only one who didn't know the actual size of unicorns? Gorp cleared his throat. "Oh my goodness. I didn't see you there, Gorp," Mom said. "How are you doing?" She gave him a hug. Gorp turned to show off his shiny fur. "Quite

我拍了拍额头。我是唯一不知道独角兽实际大小的人吗？ 高普清了清嗓子。“哦，我的天哪。 爸爸，我没看见你在那儿。”妈妈说。 “你好吗？”她拥抱了他一下。 戈普转过身来炫耀他那亮闪闪的皮毛。 “相当

well. I was playing with friends in the forest when we felt the earth shaking. They sent me to figure out what it was. I thought you two would know." The unicorn shifted a little and the ground shook again. "HELP PLEASE?" "Oh, sorry!" all three of us called up at once. I pointed to the scratch. "This is all I could find," I told Mom. "It seems pretty small compared to the unicorn's huge leg. Do you think it's like the unicorn version of a paper cut? It's small but it hurts a lot?" Mom walked around the leg and nodded. "That's all I'm seeing too. What's your plan?" Oh, right. I needed a plan. I was about to start thinking out loud when my dad opened the back door to our house. "Honey?" he called. "Why are so many things on the floor in here? Was there an earthquake?" Mom turned to me. "I'd better go talk to your dad. Good thing he was at the store during this. Since he can't see magical creatures, I am sure he'd be horribly confused right about now! I know you'll come up with a great plan for how to help the

好。我和朋友们在森林里玩耍，突然感到大地在晃动。 他们派我来弄清楚那是什么。 我还以为你们俩知道呢。” 独角兽动了一下，大地又震动了。 “帮助吗?”“哦，对不起！”我们三个人同时喊道。 我指着划痕。“这是我能找到的所有东西，”我告诉妈妈。 “与独角兽巨大的腿相比，它似乎很小。 你觉得这就像独角兽版的剪纸吗？ 虽然小，但很疼。”妈妈绕着腿走了一圈，点了点头。 “这也是我所看到的。 你的计划是什么？”哦,对了。 我需要一个计划。我刚要开口说话，爸爸就打开了我家的后门。 “亲爱的？”他喊道。“为什么这里的地板上有这么多东西？” 发生地震了吗？”妈妈转向我。 “我最好去和你爸爸谈谈。 还好他当时在店里。 既然他看不见神奇的生物，我相信他现在一定非常困惑！我知道你会想出一个很好的计划来帮助他们

unicorn. I'll be inside if you need me." "GIRL SEE OW? HOW GIRL FIX?" "I do see the scratch. It must hurt a lot. Let me go grab something and I'll figure out what to do. One minute!" I turned to Gorp. "I'll be right back. I just need to grab my Thinking Goggles to figure this out." Gorp nodded. "I should head back to my friends. They're still wondering what happened. The baby unicorn will be OK, right?" "Definitely." I stood up a little straighter. "You can tell your friends I'm taking care of it." "I will," said Gorp. "Thanks, Gorp!" "Oh, and um, say hi to Sassafras for me, I guess." Then he headed back into the forest. Sassafras! Where was that cat? I waved goodbye and jogged into the barn. Aha! I found my Thinking Goggles right next to a blanket with a fluffed-up, shaking tail sticking out from under it. "Sass?" I whispered. I lifted the blanket and discovered the rest of my fluffed-out, shaking cat.

独角兽。如果你需要我，我就在里面。” “姑娘看见了吗？”女孩怎么修理？”“我确实看到了划痕。 一定很痛吧。我去拿点东西，想想该怎么办。 一分钟!”我转向戈尔普。 “我马上就回来。我只需要拿起我的思考镜来解决这个问题。” 高能量小吃食品点了点头。“我该回去找我的朋友了。 他们还在想到底发生了什么。 小独角兽会没事的，对吧？”“肯定”。 我站得更直了一点。 “你可以告诉你的朋友，我在处理这件事。” “我会的。”“谢谢,高能量小吃食品!”“哦，我想，代我向萨萨法拉斯问好。” 然后他又回到了森林里。 黄樟!那只猫在哪里？ 我挥挥手告别，小跑着进了谷仓。 啊哈!我发现我的思维护目镜就在一条毯子旁边，毯子下面伸出一条毛茸茸的、摇摇晃晃的尾巴。 “萨斯?”我低声说。我掀开毯子，发现了我那只浑身抖毛的猫的身体。

OK, so at least Sassafras was also surprised by the unicorn's size. "Oh, buddy. It's just a baby unicorn. He won't hurt you!" I explained. But it wasn't any use. Sassafras was too freaked out. "Why don't you stay here and I'll go help him?" "Mrrowww," Sassafras agreed. I gently covered him up again with the blanket and gave him a reassuring pat. Then I plunked my Thinking Goggles on my head and walked back out

好吧，至少萨萨弗拉斯也对独角兽的体型感到惊讶。 “哦,朋友。它只是一只小独角兽。 他不会伤害你的！”我解释道。 但这没有任何用处。萨萨法斯吓坏了。 “你为什么不留在这儿，我去帮他呢？”“先生。”萨萨法斯同意了。 我轻轻地给他盖上毯子，轻轻地拍了拍他，让他放心。 然后我把“思考镜”戴在头上，走了出去

to talk to… Where were my manners? I'd forgotten to ask if the unicorn had a name. I leaned my head waaaay back. "Hello again! I've got my Thinking Goggles, so I should have a plan soon. But I forgot to ask— do you have a name?" The unicorn nodded his gigantic head and a huge gust of wind almost knocked me to the ground. I held on to a nearby tree trunk so I didn't blow away. "TINY," said the unicorn. You have got to be kidding me. "Your name is Tiny?" The unicorn nodded again, and this time my Thinking Goggles flew off. I chased them down and made a mental note to try to avoid asking Tiny yes or no questions. "Nice to meet you, Tiny. I'm Zoey. Let's see here. You have a cut on the back of your leg down here." "ZOEY FIX IT?"

我的礼貌哪儿去了？ 我忘了问那只独角兽有没有名字。 我把头往后仰。 “你好了!我有思考镜，所以我应该很快就有计划了。 可是我忘了问——你有名字吗？”独角兽点了点头，一股狂风几乎把我吹倒在地。 我抓住附近的树干，以免被风吹走。 “很小，”独角兽说。你在跟我开玩笑吧。 “你的名字是拇指姑娘？”独角兽又点了点头，这次我的思维护目镜飞走了。 我追上他们，心里记着尽量避免问那些微不足道的“是”或“不是”的问题。 “很高兴见到你，拇指姑娘。我佐伊。 让我们看看这里。你的腿后面这里有个伤口。” “你能修好吗？”
