4 LOOKY THINGY

CHAPTER 4 LOOK THINGY "What are you waiting for? Grab your Looky Thingy and let's go!" Pip put his hands on his hips and tapped his foot. "Erm, my Looky Thingy?" I asked. Pip nodded. "Bips are quite small and hard to see." "Uh, so a microscope?" I guessed. Pip sighed. "No, you can just bring your Looky Thingy that makes things bigger. You know?" He made a circle with his hands and peeked one eye through.

“你还在等什么？” 拿上你的look thing，我们走吧！”匹普把手放在屁股上，轻敲着脚。 “嗯，我的‘看东西’？”我问。 皮普点点头。“髋部很小，很难看到。” “嗯，那是显微镜？”我猜到了。 皮普叹了口气。“不，你可以带上你的‘看东西’，让东西变大。 你知道吗?”他双手围成一个圈，一只眼睛往里偷看。

"Ohhhh, a magnifying glass! Let me go tell Mom where I'm going and grab it from the house." As I ran inside, Pip muttered something about human words for things. I let Mom know what was happening while I looked through my room. "Oh gosh, those poor baby hippogriffs!" Mom said as she lifted my bed quilt to reveal my magnifying glass. "Thanks, Mom!" I gave her a quick hug. "I hope we can find a way to get more bips and save the roses in time." "If anyone can do it, it's you, sweetheart."

“哦，放大镜！”让我去告诉妈妈我要去哪里，然后从房子里拿出来。” 当我跑进去的时候，匹普喃喃地说着一些关于人类词语的事情。 我把房间翻了一遍，让妈妈知道发生了什么事。 “哦，天哪，那些可怜的小鹰头马身有翼兽！”妈妈一边说一边掀开我的被子，露出我的放大镜。 “谢谢你,妈妈!”我迅速地拥抱了她一下。 “我希望我们能找到一种方法，获得更多的髋部，及时拯救玫瑰。” “如果有人能做到，那就是你，亲爱的。”

She kissed my forehead and handed me my backpack. "I'll stay here so Dad doesn't wonder where we are when he gets back from his errands, but let me know if you need any help." "I will!" I hollered over my shoulder and ran back to the barn. Sassafras and I followed Pip into the forest, and he explained a little more. "This morning, we were playing a game of tag, and one of my friends saw the hophop path with everything eaten. We followed part of it through the forest and saw the sick roses all along the way. We grabbed our Looky Thingies and checked and couldn't see any bips on the rose leaves. I sent my friends to go see if the hophop path missed any forest roses. We're all going to meet up by the stream." I crossed my fingers that the other frogs had found some healthy roses with bips. "Wait here," Pip instructed when we got to the stream. "I'm sure you remember that most magical creatures are really shy." I nodded, and Sassafras meowed. "I just need to let my friends know that it's you guys, so they don't freak out. Once I call you

她吻了吻我的额头，把背包递给了我。 “我就呆在这儿，这样爸爸办事回来就不会怀疑我们在哪儿了。不过，如果你需要帮助，请告诉我。” “我要!”我回头大叫一声，跑回谷仓。 萨萨弗拉斯和我跟着匹普进了森林，他又解释了一些。 “今天早上，我们在玩捉迷藏的游戏，我的一个朋友看到了所有东西都被吃掉了的hophop路径。 我们沿着这条路的一部分穿过森林，一路上看到了生病的玫瑰。 我们拿起我们的look - Thingies检查了一下，没有看到玫瑰叶子上有任何突起。 我让我的朋友们去看看这条啤酒花之路是否漏掉了森林玫瑰。 我们都要在小溪边集合。” 我祈祷其他的青蛙已经找到了一些健康的有臀的玫瑰。 “在这里等着，”当我们到达小溪时，皮普指示道。 “我相信你还记得，大多数神奇的生物都很害羞。” 我点了点头，黄樟叫了起来。 “我只是想让我的朋友们知道是你们，这样他们就不会惊慌了。 一旦我打电话给你

over, just remember to walk really slowly and use a quiet voice, OK? Forest frogs get scared easily." Sassafras and I sat down on a log to wait as Pip hopped ahead.

好了，记得走得慢一点，声音要轻一点，好吗？ 森林里的青蛙很容易受到惊吓。” 萨萨弗拉斯和我坐在一根圆木上，等着皮普跳到前面。
