Chapter 2

Chapter TWO Soon Granny and Grandpa, Wilbur, and I were on our way to the stream, walking through the golden sunshine and listening to the birds singing in the trees. Butterflies fluttered all about us and flowers waved in the light breeze. 'Isn't it glorious!' said Grandpa. Your dad used to have such fun at the stream

很快，奶奶、爷爷、威伯和我走在去小溪的路上，穿过金色的阳光，听着鸟儿在树上唱歌。 蝴蝶在我们周围飞舞，花儿在微风中摇曳。 “太棒了！”爷爷说。 你爸爸以前在小溪边玩得很开心

when he was a young boy. Has he ever told you about the wonderful childhood he had growing up in Glimmerview?' 'Yes,' said Wilbur and I firmly. We arrived at the stream and Granny laid out a picnic rug on the bank and set up two deckchairs for her and Grandpa to snooze in, while Wilbur and I got changed

当他还是个小男孩的时候。他跟你说过他在格里姆默维尤的美好童年吗？“是的，”威伯和我坚定地说。 我们到了河边，奶奶在岸边铺了一张野餐毯，还支了两把躺椅，让她和爷爷在上面打盹，而我和威伯则换了衣服

into our swimming things. Then we raced into the crystal clear water, splashing each other and laughing. It was such a fun afternoon! Wilbur and I swam until evening, having races and seeing what treasures we could find under the water.

我们游泳的东西。然后我们冲进清澈的水里，互相泼水，笑着。 这是一个多么有趣的下午！威伯和我一直游到晚上，我们比赛，看看能在水下找到什么宝藏。

I found a shimmery purple pebble and Wilbur found a rock in the shape of a wizard's hat! Granny and Grandpa watched us from their deckchairs. Then Grandpa had a little sleep and Granny read Good House Magic magazine. By the time Wilbur and I had finished playing in the water, the sun was beginning to go down, making the pink fluffy clouds above Glimmerview even pinker. Our shadows were long as we walked over to the picnic rug for something to eat. Granny had made some wonderful fairy food! There were cucumber sandwiches, cloud puff biscuits with sugar swirls on top, carrot crisps, and

我发现了一块闪闪发光的紫色鹅卵石，威尔伯发现了一块巫师帽子形状的石头！奶奶和爷爷从他们的躺椅上看着我们。 然后爷爷睡了一会儿，奶奶看《好房子的魔力》杂志。 等威伯和我在水里玩完，太阳开始下山了，微光村上空的粉红色蓬松的云变得更粉了。 当我们走到野餐地毯上找东西吃的时候，我们的影子很长。 奶奶做了一些很棒的仙女食物！有黄瓜三明治，上面有糖漩涡的云泡饼干，胡萝卜薯片，还有

a huge chocolate and cherry cake. After all the playing we had done in the stream, Wilbur and I were very hungry. We ate almost all of the picnic and washed it down with a raspberry crush drink. 'Thank you, Granny!' I said. 'That was delicious. Fairy food is the best!'

一个巨大的巧克力樱桃蛋糕。 我们在小溪里玩了那么多，威伯和我都饿极了。 我们几乎吃光了所有的野餐，并喝了覆盆子碎饮料。 “谢谢你，奶奶！”我说。 “太好吃了。仙女的食物是最好的！”

'I'm glad you enjoyed it,' said Granny, smiling. Wilbur and I helped Granny and Grandpa to pack up all the picnic things again and then we walked back to their toadstool house.

“我很高兴你喜欢它，”奶奶笑着说。 威尔伯和我又帮爷爷奶奶收拾好野餐用的东西，然后我们走回他们的毒菌屋。
