Chapter 6

Chapter SIX I craned my neck to take a look at my wings. 'Oh no!' I said as I caught a glimpse of two very soggy, sticky, limp fairy wings, covered in jam and cream. Hurriedly I tried to climb out of the bowl instead. It was very slippy, slidy work. I was out of breath by the time

第六章我伸长脖子看我的翅膀。 “哦,不!”我说，我瞥见了两个湿漉漉的、黏糊糊的、软绵绵的仙女翅膀，上面覆盖着果酱和奶油。 我连忙想从碗里爬出来。 这是一项非常滑滑的工作。 那时我已经上气不接下气了

I had finally managed it, landing back down on the kitchen counter with a bump. 'Ouch!' I sat there for a few minutes, wondering what to do. Without working wings, I couldn't fly back upstairs to where I had left the

我终于成功了，砰的一声落在厨房的柜台上。 “哎哟!”我在那里坐了几分钟，不知道该怎么办。 没有工作的翅膀，我不能飞回楼上我离开的地方

bottle of shrinking potion on my potion charm necklace. The stairs were too steep to climb. I was stuck being tiny! Mum was going to be furious, But... if I could somehow get my wings working again, maybe there would be time to reverse the potion before Mum found out what I had done. The wings just needed to be washed and dried, that was all! Surely that couldn't be too difficult? I stared across the counter at the kitchen sink. The taps loomed up at me. There was no way I'd be able to turn them on at my size. There must be another way.

我的魔药符咒项链上有一瓶收缩药水。 楼梯太陡，爬不上去。 我被困住了！妈妈本来要生气的，但是…… 如果我能让翅膀重新活动起来，也许在妈妈发现我做了什么之前，我就有时间把药水倒过来。 翅膀只需要清洗和干燥，就是这样！那应该不会太难吧？ 我凝视着柜台对面厨房的水槽。 水龙头向我逼近。以我的身材，我根本不可能打开它们。 一定有别的办法。

I glanced out of the kitchen window at the cloudless sky, where an arc of water droplets twinkled against the bright blue. The sprinkler! If I could get to the sprinkler, I could wash the wings and then dry them in the sunshine!

我从厨房的窗户望出去，望着万里无云的天空，在湛蓝的天空下，一个个圆弧的水滴闪烁着。 洒水器!如果我能到洒水器那里，我就能把翅膀洗干净，然后在阳光下晒干！

But how was I going to get into the garden? How was I even going to get down off the counter? I looked around the room. There was a tea towel hanging down off the counter, almost to the floor. I could try and climb down that!

但是我怎么才能进入花园呢？ 我怎么才能从柜台上下来呢？ 我环顾了一下房间。柜台上挂着一条茶巾，几乎垂到地板上。 我可以试着爬下去！

I hurried towards it, passing the pile of miniature cocktail umbrellas as I went, which gave me another brilliant idea. I picked up a green one and twirled it above my head. This umbrella would make a good disguise! I could hide behind it while I was in the garden so that Mum and Dad wouldn't spot me.

我匆匆走向它，路过那堆迷你鸡尾酒伞，这又给了我一个绝妙的主意。 我拿起一个绿色的，在我的头上旋转。 这把伞可以做很好的伪装！当我在花园里的时候，我可以躲在它后面，这样爸爸妈妈就不会发现我了。
