Chapter 4

Chapter FOUR 'MIRABELLE!' I shouted angrily. 'It's not my fault!' cried Mirabelle. 'You weren't supposed to touch it!' 'Turn us back to the right size straightaway!' I demanded and reached out for Honeyblossom who was fluttering up into the air, as light as a feather. Then I had a horrible thought.

第四章“奇迹！”我生气地喊道。 “这不是我的错！”米拉贝尔叫道。 “你不应该碰它！”“马上把我们变回原来的大小！”我要求并伸手去抓Honeyblossom，她像羽毛一样轻盈地飞向空中。 然后我有了一个可怕的想法。

Is this exactly the same as the last potion we used to shrink ourselves?' I asked. 'That took twenty whole minutes to wear off!' 'No,' said Mirabelle. 'This is a different one we've been learning to make at witch school. You only have to puff a bit more of the powder onto your skin and you'll grow to your full size again. It's foolproof! Don't worry!' 'Oh good,' I said, feeling relieved. 'Give me the compact then! Now!' But Mirabelle flapped into the air with her special bridesmaid's

这和我们上次用来缩小自己的药水一模一样吗？”我问。 “整整过了二十分钟才消失！”“不，”米拉贝尔说。 “这是我们在女巫学校学的另一种魔法。 你只需要在你的皮肤上多喷一点粉，你就会恢复到原来的大小。 这是万无一失!别担心!“哦，太好了，”我说，感到如释重负。 “那就把契约给我！”现在!”但是米拉贝尔带着她特别的伴娘服飞到了空中

fairy wings and disappeared into the cake. 'I'll give it to you in a minute,' she called. 'I promise! But come up here and look at the cake first. It's so beautiful!' 'Don't touch anything Mirabelle!' I shouted and rose up into the air towards the cake with Honeyblossom, landing gently on a whirl of ivory-coloured buttercream. Honeyblossom wriggled to be free so I put her down carefully on top of a pink sugar flower.

仙女的翅膀消失在蛋糕里。 “我马上就给你，”她叫道。 “我保证!”但是先上来看看蛋糕。 它是如此美丽！“别碰任何东西，米拉贝尔！”我大叫一声，飞向蜂蜜花蛋糕，轻轻地落在一圈象牙色的奶油上。 蜜花扭动着想挣脱，所以我把她小心地放在一朵粉红色的糖花上。

Mirabelle was right. The cake was beautiful, like a magical wonderland! For a moment I forgot to be cross with my cousin. It was mesmerizing to be surrounded by icing flowers and sugar snowflakes. Everything smelt sweet and delicious. I couldn't help touching one of the walls of the fairy castle with my finger and poking out just the tiniest, tiniest bit of buttercream. It tasted amazing. I scooped out a teeny bit more. Aunt Crystal really

米拉贝尔是对的。蛋糕很漂亮，就像一个神奇的仙境！我一时忘了生表妹的气。 被糖霜花和雪花包围的感觉令人着迷。 每样东西闻起来都香甜可口。 我忍不住用手指碰了碰童话城堡的一面墙，戳出了非常非常小的一点奶油。 味道好极了。我又舀了一点。 克里斯托阿姨真的吗？

would never notice; we were so small! 'See, I told you this was a fun idea!' said Mirabelle.

永远不会注意到；我们那么小！“瞧，我告诉过你这是个有趣的主意！”米拉贝尔说。
