10 Blue Betsy

CHAPTER TEN BLUE BETSY "I HAVE NO idea about the blue thing," Dad said. "But June eleventh is the day before your birthday." Mom asked, "But what rhymes with five day?"

第十章蓝色的贝琪“我不知道那个蓝色的东西，”爸爸说。 “但是6月11日是你生日的前一天。” 妈妈问：“但是什么和五天押韵呢？”爸爸做了很多猜测——很多错误的猜测。 “努力粘土吗?”“潜水喷?”“繁荣支付?”“Jive灰色?”我有一种感觉，这需要一段时间，所以我朝前窗点了点头。

taught me how to ride Blue Betsy when I was five years old? Because I didn't want to be six and still not know how to ride?" "We remember," Mom said and messed up my hair a little bit. "We were out in the driveway all day," Dad said and laughed. "You would not give up." "I thought we could go on a bike ride together today," I said. "That's the second prize!" And that's what we did.

在我五岁的时候教我骑蓝贝琪？ 因为我不想六岁了还不知道怎么骑马？”“我们记得。”妈妈说着把我的头发弄乱了一点。 “我们一整天都在车道上，”爸爸笑着说。 “你不会放弃的。”“我想今天我们可以一起去骑自行车。”我说。 “这是二等奖！”这就是我们所做的。 我们几乎骑遍了毕加索公园的每一条小路——甚至是那条沿着小溪的小路。 当我们回来时，已经快到午餐时间了。 “毕加索公园的步道是最好的，”我说。 “绝对是最好的！”妈妈和爸爸同意了。 “我饿死了，”我们把自行车放回车库后，爸爸说。 “太好了。”我说着抽出下一条线索
