09 Saltwater Taffy

Saltwater Taffy On Saturday morning, Judy peered out the window. The rain had stopped! GMD #5 was off to a good start. Her mood pillow grinned at her. She picked up a coil of sun-yellow yarn and soon her fingers were flying. Dad went to get the paint for Judy's room. In the time he was gone, she finger knitted five whole balls of yarn. Plum perfect! Finally, Dad came home with the paint. "They were all out of Peanut Butter and Jelly," said Dad. Judy felt a twinge. Like a prickle, only worse.

星期六早上，朱迪往窗外看。 雨停了！gmd5开了个好头。 她的情绪枕头对她龇牙咧嘴。 她拿起一卷太阳黄色的纱线，很快她的手指就飞了起来。 爸爸去给朱迪的房间刷油漆了。 在他离开的这段时间里，她用手指织了整整五个纱线球。 李子完美!最后，爸爸拿着油漆回家了。 “花生酱和果冻都卖光了，”爸爸说。 朱迪感到一阵刺痛。就像刺痛，只是更糟。

Bad-mood words like "No way!" and "So not fair!" shot through Judy's head, but she could not be in a bad mood for two more days. What a pickle. She took a deep breath. "That's okay," she said calmly. "Peanut Butter and Jelly is for babies." "Hey! I love Peanut Butter and Jelly," said Stink. I rest my case, thought Judy, silently and to herself. "Aren't you going to say, 'I rest my case' or something?" Stink asked. "Or something." "I got Saltwater Taffy instead," said Dad. "Saltwater Taffy's good," said Judy. Dad snapped off the lid and Judy stirred the paint.

“不可能！”和“太不公平了！”这样的坏心情的话在朱迪的脑海里闪过，但她不能再郁闷两天了。 真是个麻烦。她深吸了一口气。 “没关系，”她平静地说。 “花生酱和果冻是给婴儿吃的。” “嘿!我喜欢花生酱和果冻，”臭臭说。 我结束了我的案子，朱迪默默地自言自语。 “你不打算说‘我结束我的案子’之类的话吗？”臭问道。 “什么的。”“我买了咸水太妃糖，”爸爸说。 “咸水太妃糖不错，”朱迪说。 爸爸啪的一声打开盖子，朱迪搅动着油漆。

She could hardly wait to dive in and slap some purple paint around. "Saltwater Taffy?" Stink perked up. "Did you know that some guy had a candy shop by the Atlantic Ocean like over a hundred years ago? One day, there was a big storm, the ocean flooded his shop, and the salt water got all over the candy. And that's how it got invented and how come it's called saltwater taffy." "I did not know that," said Judy. "You, little bother, I mean brother, are like a volcano— always spitting up interesting facts." "Why are you being so nice?" asked Stink. "Mom! Judy's acting weird again." "C'mon you two," said Dad. "Let's get this party started." "Stink's painting too?" Judy grumped, but

她迫不及待地跳进水里，在周围涂上紫色的油漆。 “咸水太妃糖吗?”臭臭振作起来了。 “你知道一百多年前大西洋边有个人开了一家糖果店吗？” 有一天，下了一场大风暴，海水淹没了他的商店，海水浸透了所有的糖果。 这就是它是如何被发明出来的，为什么它被称为盐水太妃糖。” “我不知道，”朱迪说。 “你，小麻烦，我的意思是，兄弟，就像一座火山——总是吐出有趣的事实。” “你为什么对我这么好？” “妈妈!朱迪又怪怪的了。” “来吧，你们两个，”爸爸说。 “让我们开始派对吧。” “臭臭也在画？”朱迪嘟囔着，但是

then she caught herself. "Um, thanks for helping, Stinker. While we're getting ready, why don't you tell us how paint was invented?" Before you could say "Saltwater Taffy" three times fast, Judy was dipping a roller in the paint tray. While Dad taped the edges, Judy slathered purple paint on the wall.

然后她控制住了自己。“嗯，谢谢你的帮助，臭臭。 在我们准备的时候，你为什么不告诉我们油漆是怎么发明的呢？”你还没来得及把“咸水太妃糖”说三遍，朱迪就把一个滚筒浸在油漆盘里了。 爸爸用胶带粘住边缘，朱迪在墙上涂上紫色的油漆。

"Poiple!" she shouted with glee. Best-mood-ever!" purple! Purple was on-top-of-spaghetti royal. Stink rolled paint on the wall. "Stink! You're splattering me," said Judy. She held out her shirt. "Human Spin Art." "That's why we wore old T-shirts," said Dad, "and put down cardboard on the floor." "Just don't get any paint on Hedda-Get-Betta, my Nancy Drew books, my finger knitting, or—" "Look," said Stink. "Mouse has one purple ear." "You mean purr-ple." Judy cracked herself up. "She's going to have two purple ears, purple whiskers, and a purple tail if she doesn't watch out. Scat, cat!" She shooed Mouse out of the room.

“人们！”她高兴地喊道。 Best-mood-ever !”紫色!紫色放在皇家意大利面上面。 墙上的油漆有臭味。 “臭!你溅到我身上了，”朱迪说。 她伸出衬衫。“人类纺纱艺术。” “这就是为什么我们穿着旧t恤，”爸爸说，“把硬纸板放在地板上。” “别把颜料弄到海达- get -贝塔、我的《神探南茜》书、我的手指编织，或者——”“看，”臭臭说。 “老鼠有一只紫色的耳朵。” “你是说紫色。”朱迪大笑起来。 “如果她不小心的话，她会有两只紫色的耳朵、紫色的胡须和一条紫色的尾巴。 嘘,猫!”她把老鼠赶出了房间。

Stink cracked up. "You said scat." In two shakes of a cat's tail, Judy and Stink had covered the wall in purple. Dad stood on a ladder to get all the edges. "How do you like your royal purple palace?" he asked. Judy stepped back to admire their masterpiece. "Rare," she said. "Now, we wait for this to dry. We may need a second coat," said Dad. "You mean we have to do it all over again?" Judy asked. Oops. Bad-mood words. "You mean we get to do this all over again?" She turned on a smile. "We'll see. In the meantime, I'm going to rinse these rollers and brushes out." Judy picked up her finger knitting. Stink sat cross-legged next to her. He stared at the wall.

臭臭裂开了。“你说的是逃跑。” 朱迪和臭猫摇了两下尾巴，就把墙涂上了紫色。 爸爸站在梯子上抓住所有的边缘。 “你觉得你的紫色宫殿怎么样？”他问。 朱迪退后一步欣赏他们的杰作。 “很罕见，”她说。“现在，我们等着它变干。 我们可能需要再涂一层，”爸爸说。 “你是说我们得从头再来一遍？”朱迪问。 哦。心情不好的话。“你的意思是我们要从头再来一遍？”她突然露出微笑。 “我们将会看到。与此同时，我要把这些发卷和发刷洗干净。” 朱迪拿起她的手指编织。 臭臭盘腿坐在她旁边。 他盯着墙。
