13 PIP (AGAIN, AGAIN)

CHAPTER 13 PIP (AGAIN, AGAIN) I wondered if we would find a new magical creature in trouble. Or maybe someone else had noticed the grumplets were making everyone in the forest miserable and had come to us for help? I opened the door, and there was Pip. "Sorry about earlier when I threw the candy, Zoey," he said, looking at the ground instead of at me. "I just had a—" "BAD CASE OF THE GRUMPLETS!" we said at the same time and laughed. "It's OK, Pip. We understand," I said as Sassafras, Pip, and I shared a three-way hug.

第13章皮普（一遍又一遍）我不知道我们是否会发现一个新的有麻烦的神奇生物。 或者可能是其他人注意到小矮人让森林里的每个人都很痛苦，所以来找我们帮忙？ 我打开门，是匹普。 “很抱歉，佐伊，我之前把糖果扔了。”他看着地面，而不是我。 “我刚刚得了——”“坏脾气！”我们异口同声地笑了起来。 “没关系，匹普。我们理解。”我说着，萨萨法斯、皮普和我三方拥抱在一起。

"Have you come up with a solution yet?" Pip asked. "It's getting really bad out there in the forest. EVERYONE is fighting. I'm having the worst summer ever." "Don't worry, Pip. I've got a plan." Pip was excited to help, so after I grabbed my bowl of berries, his napkin picnic blanket, and my science journal, he hopped on my head and the three of us headed out to the clearing once again.

“你想出解决办法了吗？”皮普问道。 “森林里的情况变得非常糟糕。 每个人都在战斗。这是我经历过的最糟糕的夏天。” “别担心，匹普。我有个计划。” 匹普很乐意帮忙，所以在我抓起我的一碗浆果、他的餐巾纸野餐毯子和我的科学日记后，他跳到我的头上，我们三个人又一次向那块空地走去。

We got Pip all set up, and Sassafras and I once again hid in the bushes. "OH, THESE BERRIES ARE SO DELICIOUS!" Pip proclaimed. "THEY TASTE LIKE HAPPINESS AND JOY AND JUST SO MUCH GOODNESS!" He waved his arms about. "I JUST DO NOT HAVE THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE THEIR YUMMINESS. EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THESE! HAPPY! JOY!" Sassafras's ears pricked. The grumplets came faster this time! I quietly clapped my hands. I gasped. "Sass—look!" I whisper-shouted to my cat. "They are looking on the ground first!" Sure enough, instead of grabbing the joy in the air first, the grumplets were snorting and snuffling

我们把皮普安顿好了，我和萨萨弗拉斯又一次躲进了灌木丛。 “哦，这些浆果太好吃了！”皮普宣布。 “它们尝起来像幸福和喜悦，还有那么多的美好！”他挥舞着双臂。 “我简直无法用语言来形容它们的美味。 每个人都应该尝试一下！快乐!欢乐!”黄樟的耳朵刺痛了。 这次小矮人来的更快了！我轻轻地拍了拍手。 我喘息着说道。“Sass-look !”我低声对我的猫喊。 “他们先看地面！”果然，这些小矮人没有先抓住空中的快乐，而是在哼哼和抽噎

along the ground. Pip started flinging berries every which way. "OH, WHOOPS! I'M SUCH A SLOPPY EATER! BERRIES ARE GOING EVERYWHERE!" I held my hand over my mouth while I laughed. Oh, Pip! It worked, though. The grumplets made their way over to the berries Pip had tossed everywhere and ate them! "OH MY, I AM RUNNING OUT OF

沿着地面。皮普开始到处乱扔浆果。 “哦,哦!我吃东西太马虎了！浆果到处都是！”我笑的时候用手捂着嘴。 哦,破壳而出!尽管如此，它还是奏效了。 小矮人跑到比普扔得到处都是的浆果上，把它们吃掉了！“哦，天哪，我快用完了。

BERRIES! UHHH…?" Pip gave me a worried look. Oh no! Would those berries be enough for the grumplets to leave Pip's joy alone? He tossed around the final few, and we all waited. I was sure that he'd storm off at any minute. But then a weird thing happened. The grumplets patted their tummies. And then walked away. After they were gone, Pip hopped over to us. "Zoey! It worked! I don't feel the least bit grumpy!" "WE DID IT!" Pip and I cheered and hopped up and down while Sassafras bounded around us. It was time to try the last part of my plan.

浆果!呃…?”匹普担心地看了我一眼。 噢,不!这些浆果足以让小矮人不去打扰匹普的快乐吗？ 他把最后几张扔了出来，我们都在等着。 我确信他随时都会愤然离去。 但随后一件奇怪的事情发生了。 小矮人拍着肚子。 然后走开了。他们走后，匹普跳到我们身边。 “佐伊!它工作!我一点也不觉得脾气不好！”“我们成功了！”皮普和我欢呼雀跃，上蹦下跳，黄樟在我们周围跳来跳去。 是时候尝试我计划的最后一部分了。
