6 It’s Time for Toilet Paper

CHAPTER SIX IT'S TIME FOR TOILET PAPER WE SKIPPED LUNCH the next day. I think we were all too nervous to eat anyway. It was time to launch our plan. I couldn't wait to find out how many Skittles were in Principal Shelton's jar. I thought about that a lot the previous night. It kept me up for a while. As everybody else in third grade went to get their lunch, I met Rosie right outside the girls' bathroom. The boys' bathroom was across the hall from the girls' bathroom. That worked out perfectly for our plan. Simon got there less than a minute after Rosie and I

第六章卫生纸的时间到了第二天我们没吃午饭。 我想我们都紧张得吃不下饭了。 是时候实施我们的计划了。 我迫不及待地想知道谢尔顿校长的罐子里有多少彩虹糖。 前一天晚上我想了很多。 它让我睡了好一会儿。 当其他三年级的学生都去吃午饭的时候，我在女厕所外面遇到了罗茜。 男生浴室在女生浴室的对面。 这对我们的计划来说是完美的。 西蒙比罗西和我晚到不到一分钟

met. He asked, "Did you fill it up?" I shook my backpack so he could hear that we did. He nodded and said, "Great." "Do you have your flip-flops?" Rosie asked him. Like me, he shook his backpack a little. "They're

满足。他问：“你加满了吗？”我抖了抖背包，好让他听到我们的声音。 他点点头说：“太好了。” “你带人字拖了吗？”罗茜问他。 和我一样，他也摇晃了一下背包。 “他们

in here." "Here are your supplies," Rosie said to him and reached into her pocket. She pulled out a small plastic baggie with a tube of superglue, a thumbtack, and some nail clippers inside. "You know what to do." I said, "We'll meet back here in a few minutes." Simon tiptoed into the boys' bathroom. He didn't have to tiptoe or anything. He just did it for fun and to be dramatic. Rosie and I went into the girls' bathroom. And we got started. Rosie pulled out the toilet paper from the giant roll in the first bathroom stall. It ran all the way from the dispenser, under the stall door and, ultimately, to Rosie's hand. I stood in front of the sinks. I spread my legs apart and stretched my arms out wide.

在这里。”“这是你的补给品，”罗茜对他说，然后把手伸进口袋。 她拿出一个小塑料袋，里面装着一管强力胶、一个图钉和一些指甲钳。 “你知道该怎么做。”我说：“我们几分钟后在这里见。” 西蒙蹑手蹑脚地走进男厕所。 他不用踮起脚尖之类的。 他这么做只是为了好玩，为了戏剧化。 罗茜和我去了女厕所。 我们开始了。罗茜从第一个卫生间的大卷筒里拿出卫生纸。 它从自动售货机一直跑到隔间门下面，最后跑到罗茜的手上。 我站在水槽前。 我两腿分开，双臂张开。

Rosie wrapped that toilet paper all around me, starting at my ankles and working her way up each leg. When she got to my stomach, Rosie held the toilet paper in one place as I turned slowly around a bunch of times. That worked much faster. "Halfway there," Rosie whispered, biting her lip. I think she was afraid the toilet paper might tear. She definitely didn't want to start over. We didn't have a whole lot of time. Lunch period would be finished in ten minutes. When Rosie got up to my armpits, I stopped spinning and she took over again. She wrapped my left arm and then my right arm. Finally, she wrapped my head, leaving plenty of room for my eyes, nose, and mouth. When she was done, Rosie tore off the toilet paper and tucked that loose end underneath one of the layers at my back.

罗茜把厕纸包在我身上，从我的脚踝开始，一直到每条腿。 当罗西到达我的腹部时，她把卫生纸拿在一个地方，我慢慢地转过身来。 这就快多了。“到一半了，”罗茜咬着嘴唇低声说。 我想她是害怕厕纸会被撕破。 她肯定不想重新开始。 我们没有太多的时间。 午饭时间再过十分钟就结束了。 当罗西爬到我的腋窝时，我停止了旋转，她又开始旋转了。 她缠着我的左臂，然后是右臂。 最后，她把我的头包起来，给我的眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴留出了足够的空间。 当她完成后，罗茜撕下卫生纸，把松散的一端塞在我背后的一层纸下面。

"Oh my—" Rosie said and slapped her hand over her mouth. I could see her smiling behind her hand. "What?!" She shook her head and put her hands on my shoulders. She turned me around to look in the mirror above the sink.

“哦，我的——”罗茜一边说一边用手捂住嘴。 我能看见她用手捂着脸微笑。 “什么? !”她摇了摇头，把手放在我的肩膀上。 她让我转过身去看水池上方的镜子。

When I saw myself, I knew one thing for sure. I was just a few minutes away from those Skittles. HOW DO YOU THINK THIS PLAN WILL WORK OUT?

当我看到自己的时候，有一件事我很确定。 我离彩虹糖就差几分钟了。 你认为这个计划会怎样实施？
