Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE I stared up at the monster dragons and wondered what to do. It was obvious they hadn't been created from fairy magic. Mum and Dad would know it was me! I was going to be in big trouble. My heart started to beat fast and I began to feel a bit sick. I needed to get the dragons away from the party and lure them back into

第五章我抬头望着巨龙，不知该怎么办。 很明显，它们不是用仙女的魔法创造出来的。 妈妈和爸爸会知道是我！我就要有大麻烦了。 我的心开始跳得很快，我开始觉得有点不舒服。 我得把龙从派对上弄走然后把它们引回来

the forest. But I had no idea how to do it. The small potion I had made by myself in the forest had now turned into a very big mess! I watched in horror as the fire flickered in all directions beneath the wind of the flapping dragons. It was getting so blown about that it looked like it might even go out. All around me was chaos and I couldn't see my family anywhere amongst the tangle of frightened fairies. I had no idea what to do except stand there and stare at the mess I had created.

森林。但我不知道该怎么做。 我在森林里自己配制的小药水现在变成了一团乱麻！我惊恐地看着火苗在飞龙拍打的风中四下摇曳。 它被吹得很厉害，看起来甚至要熄灭了。 我周围一片混乱，在一群受惊的仙女中间，我看不到我的家人。 我不知道该怎么办，只能站在那里盯着我制造的混乱。

'Mirabelle!' shouted someone and I glanced over to see my mum running towards me. Her usually neat and perfect fringe was flying all over the place. She looked furious. 'Is this your doing?'

“李子!有人喊道，我瞥了一眼，看到妈妈向我跑来。 她平时整洁完美的刘海飘得满地都是。 她看上去很生气。“这是你干的吗？”

'Umm,' I said and felt myself shrinking into a tiny ball. My mum can be really scary when she's cross. Her dark witch eyes were glinting dangerously. 'I...' I began. 'I just wanted to see what would happen if I made a potion with ...some ingredients that I found.' 'Some ingredients that you found!' said Mum, towering over me with her hands on her hips. 'And where exactly did you find these ingredients?' 'Umm,' I gulped. Just then there was a load more screaming and suddenly we were all plunged into darkness. The fire had gone out. The dragons looked more frightening

“嗯，”我说，感觉自己缩成了一个小球。 我妈妈生气的时候真的很吓人。 她那女巫般的黑眼睛闪烁着危险的光芒。 “我……”我开始。“我只是想看看，如果我用……我找到的一些原料“你找到的一些配料！”妈妈说，她双手叉腰高高站在我面前。 “你到底是从哪里找到这些原料的？”“嗯，”我咽了口气。 就在这时，又传来一阵尖叫，突然我们都陷入了黑暗之中。 火已经熄灭了。龙看起来更可怕了

than ever, silhouetted against the round yellow moon. They were starting to chase the fairies, thinking it was some sort of game. 'Honestly!' said Mum and she reached into her dress and pulled out a necklace just like mine which had ten tiny potion bottles hanging off it.

比以往任何时候都更清晰，映衬着一轮黄色的月亮。 他们开始追逐仙女，以为这是某种游戏。 “说实话!妈妈说着，把手伸进裙子里，拿出一条和我的项链一模一样的项链，上面挂着十个小药瓶。
