3 IT’S NOT FUNNY

Chapter three, it's not funny. Sassafras was already meowing at the back barn door by the time I got there. I took a quick moment to close my eyes and hope for an exciting new magical creature to help. Then I slowly opened the door… and immediately doubled over laughing. Oh my goodness. "It's not funny." Pip stood outside the barn door with his arms crossed. And with a full head of flowing green curly hair. Sassafras meowed and leapt backward, which only made me laugh harder. I swallowed hard. "I'm so sorry, Pip." Pip rolled his eyes. "I am sure it looks

第三章，这并不好笑。 我到那里的时候，黄樟已经在谷仓后门喵喵叫了。 我花了一小会儿时间闭上眼睛，希望有一个令人兴奋的新魔法生物来帮助我。 然后，我慢慢地打开门，立刻笑了起来。 哦，我的天哪。“这一点都不好笑。” 匹普站在谷仓门外，双臂交叉。 还有一头飘逸的绿色卷发。 黄樟喵喵叫着，向后跳，这只会让我笑得更厉害。 我使劲咽了口气。“我很抱歉，匹普。” 匹普翻了个白眼。“我敢肯定它看起来

somewhat silly, but—" "Oh my. You haven't seen it yet?" I choked out. It was very hard to hold back my laughter. Pip shook his head, which made the green curls bounce. He took one of the longer locks of hair and held it in front of his face. "I mean, I can see parts of it, obviously." I held up a finger (it was easier to not laugh if I didn't talk) and turned to look through the drawers in the barn. "Bingo!" I whispered and

有点傻，不过——”“哦，天哪。 你还没看过吗？”我哽咽了。 我好不容易才忍住笑声。 匹普摇了摇头，绿色的卷发弹了起来。 他拿起一绺较长的头发，把它举到脸前。 “我的意思是，很明显，我能看到其中的一部分。” 我举起一根手指（不说话更容易忍住不笑），转过身去看谷仓里的抽屉。 “宾果!”我低声说

held up a small mirror. I swallowed hard to keep myself calm, walked back to Pip, and showed him. "OH! Oh my!" Pip exclaimed. And then began to giggle. He bent over laughing hard, and I joined in. "OK, OK, I guess it is pretty funny for a frog to have hair." He poofed up each side with a hand. "But the green looks good with my purple skin!" I smiled and nodded. "Is it a wig?" "Nope, it's real hair!" Pip shrugged. I wrinkled my eyebrows together. "But…?" "I know. I don't get it, either. I was walking through the forest when the top of my head began tingling. I started scratching and poof—all of a sudden I had hair!" Pip looked down at the ground and blushed. "I maybe might have screamed at that point." He moved some dirt around with his foot. "I maybe might have screamed most of the way here." I wiped my eyes and bent down. "Oh, Pip. I am sure it was pretty scary. I honestly don't know what I would do if I was walking alone in the woods and suddenly sprouted very colorful

举起一面小镜子。我使劲咽着气使自己保持镇静，走回匹普身边，给他看。 “哦!哦我的天!”皮普喊道。 然后开始咯咯地笑。他弯下腰大笑起来，我也跟着笑了起来。 “好吧，好吧，我想青蛙有毛是很有趣的。” 他用一只手拍打着两边。 “但是绿色和我紫色的皮肤很配啊！”我微笑着点了点头。 “是假发吗？”“不，这是真的头发！”皮普耸耸肩。 我皱起了眉毛。 “但是……?”“我知道。我也不明白。 当我穿过森林时，我的头顶开始感到刺痛。 我开始抓挠和嘘嘘——突然之间，我长出了头发！”匹普低头看着地面，脸红了。 “我当时可能会尖叫。” 他用脚移了一些泥土。 “我可能一路上都在尖叫。” 我擦了擦眼睛，弯下腰。 “哦,皮普。我相信那一定很可怕。 老实说，我不知道如果我一个人在树林里散步，突然长出了五颜六色的花，我会做什么

new hair." Pip gave me a little smile. He reached up and grabbed two handfuls of green curls and gave them a tug. "It definitely does not come off. But, uh, I'd prefer to not live the rest of my life with hair, so… do you think you can fix it?" "Hmmmm." I sat down cross-legged next to my friend. "How to fix a case of sudden hair. Ummm." I looked over at Pip and his eyes got a little watery. I gulped and straightened my back. "We'll sort it out, Pip. Don't worry!"

新头发。”匹普对我微微一笑。 他伸手抓了两把绿色的卷发，用力一拉。 “它绝对不会脱落。 但是，呃，我不想余生都有头发，所以……你觉得你能修好它吗？”“嗯。” 我盘腿坐在我朋友旁边。 “如何处理一头突兀的头发。 嗯。”我看了看皮普，他的眼睛有点湿润了。 我咽了口气，挺直了腰。 “我们会解决的，匹普。别担心!”
