Chapter 3

Chapter THREE 'Why don't you play with Honeyblossom while I make your breakfast?' suggested Dad. 'All right,' I sighed. As I did a bat-shaped jigsaw puzzle with my baby sister, I tried to think of other things I might be able to do to help Mum feel better. I so wanted to look after

第三章我给你做早餐的时候，你为什么不和蜜花一起玩呢？爸爸建议道。 “好吧，”我叹了口气。当我和我的小妹妹玩蝙蝠形状的拼图游戏时，我试着想我能做些什么来让妈妈感觉好一点。 我很想照顾她

her really well, the way she always looks after me. What could I do? I was just helping Honeyblossom to put the last piece into the puzzle when I had a brilliant idea: a bath!

她真的很好，就像她一直照顾我那样。 我该怎么办呢？我正帮Honeyblossom把拼图的最后一块拼好，突然有了一个绝妙的主意：洗澡！

I love having a nice warm bath when I'm unwell. Mum always runs me one with lots of bubbles in it, so that must be how she likes it too! Mum doesn't often use the bath inside the house, she prefers the garden pond—fairies love being close to nature!

我不舒服的时候喜欢洗个热水澡。 妈妈总是给我做一个有很多泡泡的，所以她一定也喜欢这样！妈妈不经常在房子里洗澡，她更喜欢花园的池塘——仙女们喜欢亲近大自然！

But surely she wouldn't want to bathe in the pond while she was ill? A warm bubbly soak in the family bathroom would probably be good for her! I could sprinkle rose petals in it and put Dad's vampire candles around it! It would be so relaxing. After breakfast, I ran out of the kitchen and back up the stairs to the bathroom. Excitedly, I turned on the taps. Mum doesn't have any bubble bath in the pond (it would be bad for the fish, and she likes the plant smells and natural green water) but I was sure she'd want some indoors. I found some of Dad's in the cupboard

但她肯定不想在生病的时候在池塘里洗澡吧？ 在家庭浴室里泡个热水澡可能对她有好处！我可以在上面撒上玫瑰花瓣，在上面放上爸爸的吸血鬼蜡烛！那会很放松的。 早饭后，我跑出厨房，回到楼梯上的浴室。 我兴奋地打开水龙头。 妈妈在池塘里没有泡泡浴（这对鱼不好，她喜欢植物的气味和天然的绿色水），但我确信她想要一些室内的。 我在橱柜里找到了一些爸爸的

under the sink. It was very red and smelled strongly of strawberry-scented freesias although there didn't seem to be much of the mixture left. I turned the bottle upside down over the water. Squeeze, squeeze, squeeeeeze! 'Hmm,' I said to Pink Rabbit when

在水槽下面。它很红，散发着强烈的小苍兰草莓香味，尽管混合物似乎已经所剩无几了。 我把瓶子倒在水面上。 挤，挤，挤！“嗯，”我对粉红兔说

there was no more mixture left in the bottle. 'The water isn't as bubbly as I'd like. Pink Rabbit pointed to my magic wand and wiggled his ears. 'I suppose I could do a spell,' I said, picking it up. I saw Mum doing bubble spells for Honeyblossom the other day. It looked easy!' I waved my wand above the bathtub, envisioning more bubbles appearing on the water. Stars and glitter fizzled in the air. POP! Pop! POP!

瓶子里再也没有混合物了。 “水没有我想要的那么多泡泡。” 粉红兔指着我的魔杖，扭动着耳朵。 “我想我可以施个咒语。”我说着把它捡了起来。 前几天我看到妈妈在为Honeyblossom做泡泡咒。 看起来很容易！”我在浴缸上方挥动魔杖，想象着水面上出现更多的泡泡。 星星和闪光在空中嘶嘶作响。 流行!流行!流行!
