Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5 Chet ran screaming out of the water. "Dewey! Dewey!" He made it to the bank and searched the water for Monty and Sid, but they were gone too. They'd been eaten! Chet was the only one left! He was about to run up to Main Street for help, but then Dewey came up sputtering. "You idiot," Dewey said, looking around. "You kept me under too long! That wasn't the

切特尖叫着跑出了水面。 “杜威!杜威!”他游到岸边，在水里寻找蒙提和希德，可是他们也不见了。 他们被吃掉了!切特是唯一剩下的!他正要跑到主街去求救，这时杜威气喘吁吁地跑了过来。 “你这个白痴，”杜威环顾四周说。 “你把我压得太久了!”那不是

plan!" Who was Dewey talking to? And what did he mean about a plan? Sid came up out of the water, gasping for breath. Where was the shark? And why was Sid laughing? "We got you!" Sid shouted at Chet. He held something up. A chipped gray tile. The fin. Chet's head started to spin. He felt like he might throw up. They'd tricked him! Monty was standing on the bank on the other side of the creek. "I can't believe you fell for that!" he laughed. Chet couldn't talk. His heart seemed to be stuck in his throat. Why would they do that? "You should have heard yourself!" Monty shouted. "You screamed so loud! Your mama probably heard you all the way in California." Chet's cheeks were bright red. His hands were shaking. How could he have thought these guys wanted to be his friends? They just wanted someone to pick on. That was the only reason they'd invited him to the creek.

计划!”杜威在跟谁说话? 他说的计划是什么意思? 希德从水里出来，大口地喘着气。 鲨鱼在哪里?希德为什么笑呢? “我们抓到你了!”希德对切特喊道。 他举起什么东西。有缺口的灰色瓷砖。 切特的头开始旋转。 他觉得自己要吐了。 他们骗了他!蒙蒂站在小溪另一边的岸上。 “我真不敢相信你会上当!”他笑着说。 切特不能说话。他的心似乎卡在喉咙里了。 他们为什么要这么做?“你真该听听你自己说的话!”蒙蒂喊道。 “你叫得那么大声!”你妈妈可能远在加利福尼亚都能听到你的声音。” 切特的脸颊通红。 他的手在颤抖。他怎么会想到这些人想成为他的朋友呢? 他们只是想找个人来捉弄。 这是他们邀请他去小溪的唯一原因。

Chet grabbed his clothes and got dressed. "Hey!" Sid yelled. "Don't be sore!" They all scrambled out of the water and ran over to him. "We were just joking around with you!" "We didn't mean to scare you so bad." "We always do pranks!" But Chet wasn't listening. His heart was pounding and his cheeks burned. He laced up his boots, stood up, and stormed away.

切特抓起衣服穿好衣服。 “嘿!”Sid喊道。“别生气!”他们都从水里爬出来，向他跑去。 “我们只是跟你开个玩笑而已!”“我们不是故意要把你吓成这样的。” “我们总是搞恶作剧!”但切特不听。 他的心怦怦直跳，两颊发烫。 他系好靴子，站起来，气冲冲地走开了。
