10 CAN I COME, TOO

Chapter ten, Can I come to? "I think we should ask different magical creatures what they do for hiccups. Wishy is magical, so it makes sense to try things that work for other magical creatures. Don't you think?" I asked Pip, but he didn't respond. "Pip? PIP!" "Oh, sorry," Pip said, finally looking up. "It's just really fun to make this lung blow up." He pulled down on the bottom diaphragm balloon one last time, and then sighed and handed back the lung model. "But yes, I think that is a great plan." "Excellent! You wait here, and I'll go tell Wishy. It's probably best if she stays here so we

第十章，我能醒过来吗？ “我想我们应该问问不同的魔法生物，它们是怎么治打嗝的。 Wishy是神奇的，所以尝试对其他神奇生物有效的东西是有道理的。 你不这样认为吗？”我问皮普，但他没有回应。 “皮普?皮普!”“哦，对不起，”匹普说，最后抬起头来。 “让这个肺爆炸真的很有趣。” 他最后一次拉下底部的隔膜气球，然后叹了口气，把肺模型递了回来。 “但是，是的，我认为这是一个伟大的计划。” “太好了!你在这等着，我去告诉维西。 最好还是让她留在这里，这样我们

don't have any more wacky changes to the forest creatures." I grabbed the lung model, but Pip looked up at me with big eyes. "OK, fine. You can play with the lung model while I go talk to her," I said. Pip hopped up and down and reached his arms out for it. I checked in on the monster siblings, who preferred to stay snuggled up in their corner of the barn. Then I came out around the barn and heard Wishy crying. "Are you doing OK?" I asked gently. Wishy took a big sniff. "I'm just—hic—so lonely—hic. I came—hic—to the forest—hic—to make—hic—some new—hic—friends, but—hic —I have—hic—just made—hic—a mess—hic— of everything." "It was an accident, though. And don't worry —we're going to fix it!" I told her my plan to ask around in the forest. She wiped her eyes and smiled. "Can I—hic —come, too—hic—? I mean—hic—if we—hic— can find—hic—some way—hic—for me to—hic —not accidentally—hic—cause problems?" I thought for a minute. It would be safer to leave her here…

不要再对森林生物做任何古怪的改变了。” 我抓起肺模型，但匹普睁大眼睛看着我。 “好了,好了。你可以玩肺模型，我去和她说话。”我说。 匹普跳上跳下，伸出双臂去抓它。 我检查了一下这对怪物兄弟姐妹，他们更喜欢依偎在谷仓的角落里。 然后我走到谷仓周围，听到威西在哭。 “你还好吗？”我温柔地问。 威希深深地吸了一口气。“我只是——好寂寞——好寂寞。 我到森林里来是想交些新朋友，但是我把一切都搞得一团糟。” “不过这是个意外。 别担心，我们会修好的！”我告诉她我计划在森林里四处打听。 她擦了擦眼睛，笑了。 “我也能来吗？” 我的意思是，如果我们能找到一种方法，让我，让我，不意外地，引起问题？”我想了一会儿。 把她留在这里比较安全……

Wishy looked at my face and started crying again. "Please don't—hic—leave me—hic—here. I—hic—am so—hic—lonely!" I rolled my shoulders. There must be some way to make this work. "OK, let's see. You're not causing Pip or Tiny to change right now, which is good. But you were causing them to change earlier in the forest and when Pip was standing at the barn door. So something we were doing then made the magic work, and something we're doing now has stopped it. Were you looking at Pip and Tiny earlier when they changed?"

威西看着我的脸，又哭了起来。 “请不要把我留在这里。” I-hic-am so-hic-lonely !”我扭了扭肩膀。 一定有办法解决这个问题。 “好吧，让我看看。你现在没有让皮普和蒂尼改变，这很好。 但是早些时候在森林里，当皮普站在谷仓门口的时候，你让它们变了。 所以我们当时所做的事情创造了奇迹，而我们现在所做的事情阻止了它。 之前匹普和蒂尼换衣服的时候，你在看他们吗？”

Wishy thought for a minute. "I—hic—think so—hic—" "OK, I have an idea. Wait here!" I dashed into the barn and found a small piece of cloth. I held it up to my eye. "This will make a perfect blindfold!" I walked over to Pip. "I'm so sorry to have to ask, but Wishy wants to come with us, and I need to figure out why her magic isn't changing you—right now, anyway. I think if she looks at a magical creature while she hiccups, that's when the accidental magic happens." I showed Pip the little blindfold cloth. "Meep!" he said. He stepped to the side and pointed at a newly laid chicken egg. "I'll help you test her magic. Even if the blindfold doesn't work, I might stop laying chicken eggs." "OK, you wait at the back barn door. I'll go put the blindfold on Wishy, open the door, and you can come out. If nothing about you changes, we'll know the blindfold stops her magic."

一厢情愿地想了一会儿。 “好吧，我有个主意。” 在这儿等着!”我冲进谷仓，找到了一小块布。 我把它举到眼前。“这将是一个完美的眼罩！”我走向匹普。 “我很抱歉不得不这么问，但是维西想和我们一起去，我需要弄清楚为什么她的魔法没有改变你——至少现在是这样。 我认为如果她在打嗝的时候看着一个神奇的生物，那就是意外魔法发生的时候。” 我给皮普看那块小眼罩。 “喵！”他说。他走到一旁，指着一个新下的鸡蛋。 “我来帮你测试她的魔法。 即使眼罩不起作用，我可能也不会下鸡蛋了。” “好吧，你在谷仓后门等着。 我去给维西蒙上眼罩，打开门，你就可以出来了。 如果你的身体没有任何变化，我们就知道眼罩能阻止她施魔法了。”

I went around the side of the barn to Wishy and explained the plan. Once she was blindfolded, I opened the barn door and Pip stepped out and stood next to her, just as she hiccupped. "Oh dear," Pip said. I looked down at my frog friend, who was no longer laying chicken eggs… but who now had feet as long as his arms. He looked like he was wearing giant swimming flippers! "Ack!" I scooped him up, plopped him into

我绕着谷仓向威西解释了这个计划。 她蒙上眼睛后，我打开谷仓的门，匹普走了出来，站在她旁边，就在她打嗝的时候。 “哦，天哪，”匹普说。我低头看了看我的青蛙朋友，他不再下蛋了，但他的脚已经和胳膊一样长了。 他看起来就像穿着巨大的游泳脚蹼！“消!”我把他抱起来，扑通一声扔进

the barn, and shut the door. "Did I—hic—do it—hic—again?" Wishy began to wail. "Well, yes… but it wasn't your fault!" I patted Wishy. "OK, so the unwanted changes must not be caused by you looking at them. What else could it be?" I tapped my head. Oh! I needed my trusty Thinking Goggles! "One sec!" I told Wishy as I ran off to grab them. Once I got my goggles, I made sure they were nice and snug on top of my head and thought over everything I knew about when Wishy's magic did or didn't change my friends. "OK, Thinking Goggles…" I muttered.

关上谷仓的门。 “我又打嗝了吗？”威西开始嚎啕大哭。 “嗯，是的……但那不是你的错！”我拍了拍威西。 “好吧，所以不想要的变化一定不是由你看着它们引起的。 还能是什么呢？”我轻敲我的头。 哦!我需要我值得信赖的思维护目镜！“一秒!”我一边跑去抓他们，一边对威西说。 我一拿到护目镜，就把它舒适地戴在头上，仔细琢磨着我所知道的威西的魔法是否改变了我的朋友。 “好吧，思维护目镜……”
