Chapter 2

Chapter TWO I flew out into the garden with Mum's gardening basket slung over my shoulder. Mum is really big on gardening (all fairies love nature) so she has a special vegetable patch where she grows all kinds of things! There are cucumbers, lettuces. strawberries, raspberries, and in the autumn, huge orange pumpkins! Next to

我把妈妈的园艺篮子挎在肩上，飞进了花园。 妈妈非常喜欢园艺（所有的仙女都热爱大自然），所以她有一块特殊的菜地，在那里她种了各种各样的东西！有黄瓜，生菜。 草莓、覆盆子，秋天还有巨大的橙色南瓜！旁边

the vegetable patch there are a couple of fruit trees covered in cherries and peaches. I knelt down and began picking some of the juicy red strawberries, popping them into the basket. They looked so delicious that I couldn't resist snacking on a few!

菜地里有几棵果树，树上挂满了樱桃和桃子。 我跪下来，开始摘一些多汁的红草莓，把它们塞进篮子里。 它们看起来太好吃了，我忍不住吃了几个！

Some of them even twinkled faintly in the sunlight. Mum does like to use a sprinkling of magic and you can definitely taste the difference. 'There!' I said to Pink Rabbit once the basket was full. 'Mum will be pleased with all these!'

有些甚至在阳光下微微闪烁。 妈妈喜欢用一点魔法，你绝对能尝到不同的味道。 “有!”篮子一满，我就对粉红兔说。 “妈妈看到这些会很高兴的！”

I walked back to the house and into the kitchen where I washed the strawberries and put them in a bowl. Then I put the bowl on a tray. 'Hmm,' I said. 'It all looks a bit plain to me.' I wished that I could bring something up for Mum that was a bit more special. When I'm ill, Mum cuts my fruit into stars or moons and makes me toast and a smoothie to go with it. What could make Mum's strawberries more interesting? Sprinkles and whipped cream! My mouth watered at the thought. It would be nice to do something to cheer Mum up, and she would be so surprised...

我走回房子，走进厨房，洗了草莓，把它们放在一个碗里。 然后我把碗放在托盘上。 “嗯，”我说。“在我看来，这一切都有点平淡无奇。”我希望我能给妈妈带来一些更特别的东西。 当我生病的时候，妈妈把我的水果切成星星或月亮，给我烤面包，配上一杯奶昔。 什么能让妈妈的草莓更有趣呢？ 糖屑和鲜奶油！想到这里我就流口水了。 做点什么让妈妈高兴起来会很好，她会很惊讶的……

I went over to the fridge and pulled out a can of pink squirty whipped cream and hunted in the cake decorating drawer. Then I set to work covering the strawberries in a huge swirl of fluffy whipped cream and shaking rainbow sprinkles on top of it. I added a drizzle of chocolate sauce for good measure.

我走到冰箱前，拿出一罐粉红色的鲜奶油，在蛋糕装饰抽屉里搜寻。 然后我开始在草莓上盖上一大圈蓬松的生奶油，并在上面撒上彩虹色的糖屑。 我还额外加了一点巧克力酱。

'Yum!' I said. 'This is sure to make Mum feel better!' I looked at my swirly multicoloured creation and wondered what else I could add to create the most interesting and pretty tray that Mum had ever seen! I scavenged around the kitchen for more food, making buttered toast with sugared rose petals on top and asking our resident ghost Oscar to make the tea. He can use the kitchen appliances by himself because he's more than two hundred years old! I finished off by filling a vase with water and picking a get-well daisy from the garden. When I was finished the whole thing looked beautiful.

“好吃!”我说。“这肯定会让妈妈感觉好一点！”我看着自己五彩缤纷的盘子，想着还能加些什么，做成妈妈从未见过的最有趣、最漂亮的盘子！我在厨房里翻找更多的食物，做了黄油吐司，上面放了糖玫瑰花瓣，还请我们的鬼魂奥斯卡来泡茶。 他可以自己使用厨房的电器，因为他已经两百多岁了！最后，我给花瓶灌满了水，从花园里摘了一朵康复的雏菊。 当我完成的时候，整个东西看起来很漂亮。
