03 Two Heads Are Better Than One

Two Heads Are Better Than One Judy was teaching Mouse to walk on two legs when the phone rang. "Hello?" All she heard was air. "Hello?" Judy asked the air. "Hello, Judy? Are you allowed to come to my party?" a voice asked. A Frank Pearl voice. It had only been two days since he gave her the invitation.

两个臭皮匠，胜过一个诸葛亮朱迪正在教老鼠用两条腿走路，这时电话铃响了。 “喂?”她听到的全是空气。 “喂?”朱迪问空气。 “你好,朱迪?你可以来参加我的聚会吗?”一个声音问道。 弗兰克·珀尔的声音。他向她发出邀请才两天。

"Wrong number," said Judy, hanging up.

“打错了，”朱迪说着挂了电话。

She dangled her new pizza table from a string in front of Mouse's nose. The phone rang again. "Hello? Is this the Moodys'?" "Not now, Frank. I'm in the middle of an important experiment." "Okay. Bye." The phone rang a third time. "The experiment's not over yet," Judy yelled into the phone. "What experiment?" asked Rocky. "Never mind," said Judy. "Let's go to Vic's," said Rocky. "I want to get something for my Me collage." Vic's was the Mini Mart down the hill where they had cool prizes in the jawbreaker machine, like tattoos that wash off and magic tricks. "Let me ask," said Judy.

她用一根绳子把她的新披萨桌子吊在老鼠的鼻子前面。 电话又响了。“喂? 这是穆迪家吗?”“现在不行，弗兰克。 我正在进行一项重要的实验。” “好吧。再见。”电话第三次响了。 “实验还没结束呢，”朱迪对着电话喊道。 “什么实验?”洛奇问。 “没关系，”朱迪说。“我们去维克家吧，”洛奇说。 “我想给我的大学买点东西。” Vic's是山下的迷你超市，那里的机器里有很酷的奖品，比如可以洗掉的纹身和魔术。 “让我问问，”朱迪说。

"Mom, can I go to Vic's with Rocky?" "Sure," said Mom. "Sure!" said Judy, tossing Mouse the pizza table. "I'm going too," said Stink. "No, you're not," Judy told him. "You and Rocky can take him along," said Mom, giving her one of those looks. "But he doesn't know about crossing through China and Japan on the way," Judy said. Only best friends knew that the first speed bump on the way was crossing into China, the second, Japan. "I'm sure you could teach him," Mom said.

"妈妈，我能和洛奇一起去维克家吗"“当然，”妈妈说。 “当然!”朱迪说着，把老鼠扔到披萨桌上。 “我也要去。”臭臭说。 “不，你不是，”朱迪告诉他。 “你和洛奇可以带他一起去，”妈妈说着，瞪了她一眼。 “但他不知道要在路上穿越中国和日本，”朱迪说。 只有最好的朋友才知道，路上的第一个减速带是进入中国，第二个是日本。 “我相信你可以教他，”妈妈说。

"Teach me," said Stink. "Meet me at the manhole," Judy said back into the phone. The manhole was exactly halfway between Judy's front door and Rocky's. Over the summer they had measured it with a very long ball of string. She ran out the door. Stink ran out the door after her. Rocky had a dollar. Judy had a dollar. Stink had six pennies. "If we put our money together, we can buy eight jawbreakers," said Rocky. "Two heads are better than one," Judy laughed. "Get it?" She unscrunched the dollar bill from her pocket and pointed to George Washington's head. "I've got six heads," said Stink, showing his pennies.

“教我吧。”臭臭说。“在井口等我。”朱迪对着电话说。 沙井正好在朱迪家前门和洛奇家正中间。 整个夏天，他们用一个很长的线球测量了它。 她跑出了门。臭臭跟着她跑出了门。 洛奇有一美元。朱迪有一美元。 臭臭有六个便士。洛奇说:“如果我们把钱凑在一起，我们可以买八块下巴。” “三个臭皮匠胜过一个诸葛亮，”朱迪笑着说。 “明白了吗?”她从口袋里掏出一美元钞票，指着乔治·华盛顿的头像。 “我有六个正面，”臭臭说，展示他的硬币。
