Chapter 6

Chapter SIX The monsters seemed pleased to be helping out. Enthusiastically, they bounded over to the different rides to help sell tickets. Some of them started picking up litter and putting it in bags. Some of them went back to the ghost train to add some extra excitement.

第六章怪物们似乎很乐意帮忙。 他们热情地跑到不同的游乐设施去帮忙卖票。 他们中的一些人开始捡垃圾并把它放在袋子里。 他们中的一些人回到了幽灵列车，以增加一些额外的刺激。

“太棒了！”集市的老板对爸爸说。 “你把那些怪物都抓起来，真是挽救了局面。 我们担心我们会失去所有的新客户！“我认为你现在不会有这种危险！”妈妈环顾四周说。集市上挤满了人。 每次乘车前都排起了长队。 孩子们又叫又笑。 童话般的灯光闪烁着，音乐轰鸣着，我突然意识到集市看起来更像我海报上的照片。 我感到一股幸福的暖流涌上我的全身。

“你真的帮了我们大忙，”那人继续说。 “我们非常感激。“啊，没什么！”爸爸说，轻蔑地在空中挥挥手。

were lots of big cuddly toys. 'Ooh good,' said Dad, bounding over immediately and starting to examine the toys. I followed him and pointed to a big fluffy monster. 'Please can I have that one?' I asked.

有很多可爱的大玩具。 “哦，太好了，”爸爸说，立刻跳过去，开始检查玩具。 我跟着他，指着一个毛茸茸的大怪物。 “请问我能要那个吗？”我问。
