Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 "SO WHAT ELSE ARE WE going to do today?" asked Fern. Fern was Wolfy's little sister. She and the rest of the wolf cubs had just recently become Little Junior Monster Scouts. Little Junior Monster Scouts were Junior Monster Scouts in training. When they got bigger, they could be full scouts, just like Wolfy, Franky, and Vampyra! They had recently learned the scout oath. It had taken them several tries, but hey—practice makes perfect, right? "Today," said Vampyra, "we are going to clean up the Crooked Trail." "Someone has been littering," said Franky. He picked up a cheese wrapper and a

“那我们今天还做什么呢？”弗恩问。 芬是狼的小妹妹。 她和其他狼崽刚刚成为小怪兽童子军。 少年怪兽童子军是正在训练的少年怪兽童子军。 当他们长大了，他们可以成为完整的侦察兵，就像狼，弗兰克和吸血鬼一样！他们最近学了童子军誓词。 他们试了好几次，但是熟能生巧，对吧？ “今天，”万皮拉说，“我们要把弯道清理干净。” “有人乱扔垃圾，”弗兰基说。 他拿起一个奶酪包装纸和一个

tin can and dropped them into the trash bag he was carrying. "Look at all this garbage!" said Wolfy. "Who would do this?" "A monster!" said Fern. All the other cubs nodded and howled in agreement. "You know we are monsters, right?" Wolfy asked. "Oh yeah," said Fern. "Maybe if we follow the trail of trash, we'll find out who's been littering," said Vampyra. "Great idea!" said Franky. Vampyra, Franky, and Wolfy led the way. Fern and the rest of the cubs followed. Every time they came to an old stinky sock, or a brown banana peel, or a wadded-up napkin, they stopped and picked it up. Fortunately for them, Franky's uncle, Igor Senior, and Franky's grandfather, Doctor Frankenstein, had made them windup garbage scoopers.

然后把它们扔进他随身携带的垃圾袋里。 “看看这些垃圾！”狼说。 “谁会这么做？”“怪物！”弗恩说。 所有其他的幼崽都点点头，嚎叫着表示同意。 “你知道我们是怪物，对吧？”似狼的问道。 “哦，是的，”弗恩说。“也许我们顺着垃圾的痕迹，就能找到乱扔垃圾的人。”万皮拉说。 “好主意！”弗兰克说。 吸血鬼、弗兰克和狼在前面带路。 弗恩和其他幼崽也跟着。 每当他们看到一只臭烘烘的旧袜子、一块发黄的香蕉皮或一块揉成一团的餐巾时，他们就停下来把它捡起来。 幸运的是，弗兰基的叔叔老伊戈尔（Igor Senior）和祖父弗兰肯斯坦（Frankenstein）博士让他们装上了垃圾铲。

All they had to do was turn the crank and scoop, scoop, scoop! The metal jaws swallowed up the trash and dropped it into their bags. No monster wanted to soil their paws on a slimy banana peel or stinky sock. Gross! They did this all the way down the Crooked Trail, Junior Monster Scouts on one side of the trail and Little Junior Monster Scouts on the other side. They found all kinds of junk that needed to be collected. Springs, old cans, apple cores, and broken shoelaces. But when they reached the beginning of the Gloomy Woods, the trash trail stopped.

他们所要做的就是转动手柄，挖，挖，挖！金属嘴吞下垃圾，扔进袋子里。 没有怪物愿意把爪子沾到黏糊糊的香蕉皮或臭袜子上。 恶心!他们沿着弯曲的小路一直这样做，小怪物童子军在小路的一边，小怪物童子军在另一边。 他们发现了各种需要收集的垃圾。 弹簧，旧罐子，苹果核，断鞋带。 但是当他们到达幽暗森林的起点时，那条垃圾路停了下来。

"That's weird," said Wolfy. "Guys, look," said Franky. He pointed to a pile of cheese crumbs on the side of the road. "Who do we know who loves cheese more than anything?" Vampyra asked. Do you know who loves cheese more than anything? Can you remember who is always chomping on cheese? I'll give you a hint. They have long whiskers and longer tails, and the answer rhymes with "bats." You guessed it—rats! "Something tells me that Boris and the rest of his crew are behind this," said

“真奇怪，”狼说。 “伙计们，看，”弗兰基说。 他指着路边的一堆奶酪屑。 “我们知道谁最爱奶酪胜过一切？”Vampyra问道。 你知道谁最爱奶酪吗？ 你还记得谁总是在咬奶酪吗？ 我给你个提示。它们有长长的胡须和更长的尾巴，这个答案和“蝙蝠”押韵。 你猜对了——老鼠！“我觉得鲍里斯和他的同伙是幕后主使。

Franky. Boris was the lead rat. He and the other rats lived in the basement of Castle Dracula, ever since the Junior Monster Scouts' first adventure and run-in with Baron Von Grump. "Let's go find out," said Wolfy. "Follow me. I can sniff out their cheese tracks." The cheese crumbs led Wolfy and the scouts away from the Crooked Trail, away from the Gloomy Woods, and out toward the edge of the cliffs. Meanwhile… back in Baron Von Grump's windmill, the baron was having a very hard time. First he had put all of Baroness Von Grumpier's things upstairs. Her luggage and satchel and trunk and bags and box. Then Baroness Von Grumpier wanted them downstairs. Baron Von Grump moved her

佛朗基。鲍里斯是领头的老鼠。 自从少年怪兽童子军第一次冒险并与冯·格朗普男爵发生冲突以来，他和其他老鼠就住在德古拉城堡的地下室里。 “我们去看看吧，”狼说。 “跟我来。我可以嗅出它们的奶酪痕迹。” 奶酪屑带着狼和侦察兵离开了弯弯曲曲的小道，离开了幽暗的森林，向悬崖边缘走去。 与此同时，在冯·格朗普男爵的风车里，男爵的日子过得很艰难。 首先，他把冯·格鲁皮埃男爵夫人的所有东西都放在楼上。 她的行李、挎包、大衣箱、袋子和箱子。 然后冯·格鲁皮埃男爵夫人要他们下楼。 冯·格伦普男爵感动了她
