10 Don’t-Kick-the-Bucket List

Do Not/Don't-Kick-the-Bucket List The very next weekend, Judy tried one more time to turn a cartwheel down the front hall. Yipes! Her pants fell down. She tried again. Crash! She knocked over the coat tree. "Judy! Take it outside!" Dad called. Judy went outside and tumbled in the grass. She ended up in a tangle of arms and legs like a pretzel. Grandma Lou beeped and pulled up in her yellow Mini. Judy ran over to the window. "Want to know the secret to a cartwheel?" Grandma Lou asked. "You have to let your

就在下一个周末，朱迪又试着在前厅翻个侧手朝天。 呀!她的裤子掉了下来。 她又试了一次。崩溃!她把大衣树撞倒了。 “朱迪!把它带到外面去！”爸爸叫道。 朱迪走到外面，在草地上摔倒了。 她的胳膊和腿像椒盐卷饼一样缠成一团。 卢奶奶哔了一声，开着她的黄色Mini停了下来。 朱迪跑到窗前。 “想知道侧手翻的秘密吗？”卢奶奶问。 “你必须让你的

mind go. Take it from the 1959 YMCA Newcomer Gymnast of the Year." "You were?" Just then, Judy noticed that the car was filled to the gills with heaps of stuff covered in old sheets. "Did you bring Otis the ghost with you or something?" Judy asked. "Wait and see," said Grandma Lou. Mom, Dad, and Stink came out into the driveway. Grandma Lou opened the hatchback. "Ta-da!" "Dad's old drum set? For me?" Judy asked.

介意去。这句话出自1959年基督教青年会年度最佳新人体操运动员。” “你是?”就在这时，朱迪注意到车里堆满了一堆用旧床单盖着的东西。 “你把鬼奥蒂斯带来了吗？”朱迪问。 “等着瞧吧，”卢奶奶说。 妈妈、爸爸和臭臭走到车道上。 卢奶奶打开了掀背车。 “哈哈!”“爸爸的旧架子鼓？” 对我来说吗?”朱迪问。

"Your dad and I talked it over. These are yours now, Jelly Bean. Keep marching to the beat of your own drum." Dad handed her a brand-new pair of drumsticks. "Tom Turkey and the Electric Drumsticks must live on." "You can be Tammy Turkey," said Stink. Judy cracked up. "Wow! Thanks!" She hugged her dad. "This'll be fun," said Dad. "I'm rusty, but I can teach you a few things. Maybe a paradiddle and a drumroll and—" "Can I be a drum bum, too?" Stink asked. Mom and Dad set the drums in the driveway, and Judy beat out a rhythm with Dad to his old favorite— the Mashed Potato. Stink crashed the cymbal. Half the neighborhood came out when they

“你爸爸和我谈过了。 这些现在是你的了，软糖。 继续按自己的节奏前进吧。” 爸爸递给她一双崭新的鸡腿。 “汤姆火鸡和电鸡腿必须继续存在下去。” “你可以做塔米火鸡，”臭臭说。 朱迪大笑起来。“哇!谢谢!”她拥抱了爸爸。 “这会很有趣的，”爸爸说。 “我有点生疏了，但我可以教你一些东西。 也许有个游船和鼓声，还有——”“我也能当个鼓手吗？”臭问道。 妈妈和爸爸在车道上架起鼓，朱迪跟着爸爸的老爱——土豆泥，敲出节奏。 臭气把铙钹震坏了。一半的邻居都出来了，当他们

heard the racket. Rocky and Frank tapped on their knees like bongos. Grandma Lou and Mrs. Soso danced the Mashed Potato. Even Izzy Azumi, Future Dog Owner, grooved to the beat along with her father and brother. Dad took off on the snare, playing several licks in a row. "Tom Turkey lives!" yelled Stink. "We're heating up the whole neighborhood with these tubs and pies!" said Judy. "That's hepcat talk for drums and cymbals."

听到了喧闹声。洛奇和弗兰克像敲手鼓一样敲打着膝盖。 卢奶奶和索索太太跳土豆泥舞。 就连未来的狗主人Izzy Azumi也和她的父亲和哥哥一起跳起舞来。 爸爸拿起了圈套，一连弹了几下。 “火鸡汤姆还活着！” “我们用这些浴盆和馅饼让整个社区都热起来了！”朱迪说。 “那是鼓和钹的鬼话。”

Plip. Plip, plip. Plop. Oh, no! Judy started to feel drops. "I hate to end this jam session," said Mom, "but it's starting to rain. Let's get all you drum bums inside." After they got the drums into the garage, Judy said to Grandma Lou, "Let's compare our kickthe-bucket lists." She snuggled up next to her bucket-list buddy on the couch. Just the two of them. Judy crossed off Learn a musical instrument. "Look how many cross-offs I have! Have you crossed anything off your list lately?" "I finally learned to dance the rumba," said Grandma Lou. "And I'm taking a sign language class." She showed Judy the sign for bucket list. She showed Judy the signs for Grandma Lou, Judy, and I love you.

Plip。Plip Plip。扑通一声地。哦,不!朱迪开始觉得有水滴。 “我真不想结束这场即兴演奏会，”妈妈说，“但是天开始下雨了。 让你们这些打鼓的进去吧。” 他们把鼓搬进车库后，朱迪对卢奶奶说：“我们来比较一下我们的遗愿清单吧。” 她依偎在沙发上她的遗愿清单伙伴旁边。 就他们两个。朱迪划掉了“学一门乐器”。 “看我画了多少叉！”你最近有没有把清单上的东西划掉？”“我终于学会了伦巴舞，”卢奶奶说。 “我还在上手语课。” 她给朱迪看了遗愿清单的标志。 她给朱迪看露奶奶的标志，朱迪，我爱你。
