Chapter 15

CHAPTER 15 BARON VON GRUMP TRUDGED BACK to the small shack at the edge of the village, the one with the sign on the door that read: VILLAGE POWER DO NOT ENTER THIS MEANS YOU! "Bah," he said. "I'll bet it was those meddling monsters and their junior scout goodness that ruined my plan." He opened the door and went in, even though the sign said NOT to enter... again. "Caw, caw!" Edgar said.

第十五章冯·格朗普男爵艰难地回到村边的那间小棚屋，那间门上写着：村权禁止入内——这里指的是你！“呸，”他说。 “我敢打赌，是那些多管闲事的怪物和他们的少年童子军的善良毁了我的计划。” 他打开门走了进去，尽管牌子上写着禁止入内。 再一次。“乌鸦叫,高高的!”埃德加说。

"I know what it says!" growled Baron Von Grump. He marched over to the big tall machine with dials and buttons and one big lever. "Everyone has electricity now but me!" he said. "Me! Baron Von Grump! If those annoying villagers have electricity, then I want electricity." He traced his crooked finger along the row of buttons until he found the one labeled: WINDMILL He pushed the button. "One last step," he said, grasping the lever. There was a sign hanging on the lever. The sign read: DO NOT PULL THIS LEVER! "Caw, caw!" said Edgar. He flew in circles around Baron Von Grump.

Grump what to do!" "Caw!" Edgar said. He flew in circles around the little shack. "Coward!" yelled Baron Von Grump.

Perhaps we should give Baron Von Grump one final warning. Ready? Okay, one... two... three: Baron Von Grump, do NOT pull that lever! Of course, he did not listen. "Edgar?" he groaned. "Could you, perhaps... spring me free?"

臭脾气怎么办！”“乌鸦叫!”埃德加说。 他绕着小棚屋飞着。 “懦夫！”冯·格朗普男爵喊道。 他用另一只手抓住杠杆，然后——你知道…… 这听起来很熟悉，不是吗？ 小伊戈尔被告知了什么？ 你还记得吗？也许我们应该给冯·格朗普男爵最后一个警告。 准备好了吗?好吧,一个…两个…… 男爵，不要拉那个操纵杆！当然，他不听。 “艾加？”他呻吟道。“你能不能，也许…… 把我放出来？”
