Chapter 12

CHAPTER 12 BARONESS VON GRUMPIER WATCHED THE village from the old windmill. "Where's all the noise?" she asked. "Croak," said Wilma. "Where's all the fuss and the ruckus?" asked Baroness Von Grumpier. "Croak," said Wilma. "Things were just getting exciting!" said Baroness Von Grumpier. "And now it's too boring, too drab." Baroness Von Grumpier had watched the villagers. One by one, the villagers had stepped out of their homes with trash buckets and boxes. They had followed Franky and the mayor out of the village.

第十二章冯·格鲁皮埃男爵夫人从老风车上望着村子。 “吵闹声到哪里去了？”她问。 “呱呱，”威尔玛说。“这些大惊小怪的事到哪里去了？”男爵夫人冯·格鲁皮埃问道。 “呱呱，”威尔玛说。“事情变得越来越激动人心了！”男爵夫人冯·格鲁皮耶说。 “现在太无聊了，太单调了。” 冯·格鲁皮埃男爵夫人注视着村民们。 村民们一个接一个地拿着垃圾桶和箱子走出家门。 他们跟着弗兰克和镇长出了村子。

"They've all left," said Baroness Von Grumpier. "They've followed that Junior Monster Scout away from the village!" "Croak?" "I have no idea where." She leaned out the window and shouted, "I demand you come back!" Franky and the villagers might have heard her if they had been closer to the village and if that were not the exact time that the trash heap let out the longest, biggest BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP! The village was now quiet and empty. This did not make Baroness Von Grumpier happy. Not one bit. Franky led the villagers and their trash back to Stargazer's Point, just as the trash heap was looming over his friends.

“他们都走了，”冯·格鲁皮埃男爵夫人说。 “他们跟着那个少年童子军离开了村子！”“用嘶哑的声音?”“我不知道在哪里。” 她探出窗外喊道：“我要你回来！”如果弗兰基和村民们离村子近一点的话，他们可能会听到她的声音，如果那不是垃圾堆发出最长、最大的哔哔声的确切时间的话！村子现在静悄悄的，空无一人。 冯·格鲁皮埃男爵夫人对此并不高兴。 一点也不。弗兰基带领村民和他们的垃圾回到了观星者点，就在垃圾堆逼近他的朋友们的时候。

"Excuse me, trash heap?" Franky said. He tugged at his bolts. He did this sometimes, when he was nervous. "SNORGLE?" "Are you still hungry?" Franky asked. The trash heap nodded. "SNORGLE?" The mayor stepped forward and placed a bucket of garbage from his very own house in front of the trash heap. It swallowed it all up and smiled. "We have more for you," said the mayor. (Remember that thing that Franky knew the villagers did not want? That's right! They didn't want their garbage. It was garbage, after all!) "HUNGRY," said the trash heap. "We know you're hungry," said Wolfy. "But you can't just go around scaring everyone and eating everything that you see," said Vampyra.

“对不起，是垃圾吗？”佛朗基说。 他猛拉螺栓。他紧张的时候有时会这么做。 “SNORGLE ?”“你还饿吗？”弗兰奇问道。 垃圾堆点了点头。“SNORGLE ?”市长走上前去，从他自己的房子里拿出一桶垃圾放在垃圾堆前。 它把这一切都吞了下去，笑了。 “我们还有更多要给你，”市长说。 (还记得弗兰克知道村民们不想要的那件事吗？ 这是正确的!他们不想要他们的垃圾。 毕竟这是垃圾！)“饿了。”垃圾堆说。 “我们知道你饿了，”狼说。 “但你不能到处去吓唬每个人，把你看到的东西都吃掉。”万皮拉说。

The trash heap opened its mouth. It closed its mouth. It looked at the empty bucket the mayor had given it. It thought that it had been very kind and generous of the mayor to offer it trash from his own house.

垃圾堆张开了嘴巴。 它闭上了嘴。它看着市长给它的空水桶。 它觉得市长把自己家里的垃圾给它，真是太好了，太慷慨了。

"SNORGLE MUCK," said the trash heap. It drooped its shoulders and bowed its head. "What if the villagers brought you their trash every week?" Franky asked. "Would you promise not to bother the village?"

“哼！”垃圾堆说。 它耷拉着肩膀，低着头。 “如果村民们每周都把他们的垃圾带给你呢？”弗兰奇问道。 “你能保证不打扰村子吗？”

"GLOBBLE MUCK!" The trash heap nodded again. "Wait a minute," said Boris. "That's supposed to be our trash!" "That is why we'd like to partner with you rats," said the mayor. "Each week, you collect the garbage from the village and bring it out to our friend, the trash heap. In return, you get to keep some of it. Is that fair?" Boris and the rats put their heads together. "Throw in the occasional block of cheese, and you've got a deal," said Boris. "Done," said the mayor. "Trash heap, is that okay with you?" "GLOBBLE MUCK," said the trash heap. It nodded yet again and smiled. "Then it's decided!" said the mayor. "The village will be cleaner, the trash heap won't be hungry, and the rats will help and be

“GLOBBLE粪!”垃圾堆又点了点头。 “等一下。”鲍里斯说。 “那应该是我们的垃圾！”“这就是为什么我们愿意和你们这些老鼠合作，”市长说。 “每个星期，你从村里收集垃圾，把它带到我们的朋友——垃圾堆。 作为回报，你可以保留一部分。 这样公平吗？”鲍里斯和老鼠们把脑袋凑在一起。 “偶尔加上一块奶酪，就成交了。”鲍里斯说。 “成交，”市长说。“垃圾堆，你不介意吗？”“全球渣滓。”垃圾堆说。 它又点了点头，微笑着。 “那就这么定了！”市长说。 “村子会更干净，垃圾堆不会挨饿，老鼠也会帮忙
