1. Magic in the Air

Storm the Lightning Fairy

风暴闪电仙女

"I can't believe tomorrow is my last day here," groaned Rachel Walker. She was staying with her friend, Kirsty Tate, in Wetherbury for a week. The girls had gone on so many adventures together, they knew it was going to be hard to say good-bye. Now, they were walking to the park, excited to be outside. It had been pouring rain all night, but now the sun was shining again. "Put on your coats, please," Mrs. Tate had told them before they left. "It looks awfully breezy out there!"

“我不敢相信明天是我在这里的最后一天，”瑞秋·沃克呻吟道。 她和她的朋友柯斯蒂·塔特在韦瑟伯里待了一个星期。 两个女孩一起经历了那么多的冒险，她们知道说再见很难。 现在，他们正朝公园走去，对出门感到兴奋。 雨下了一整夜，现在太阳又出来了。 “请穿上外套，”泰特太太在他们离开前对他们说。 “外面看起来风很大！”

"It's been so much fun having you visit," Kirsty told her friend. "I don't think I'll ever forget this week. Will you?" Rachel shook her head. "No way," she agreed.

“你来看我真是太有趣了，”科斯蒂对她的朋友说。 “我想我永远不会忘记这一周。 你会吗?”瑞秋摇了摇头。 “不可能，”她同意道。

The two friends smiled at each other. It had been a very busy week. A snowy, windy, cloudy, sunny, misty week— thanks to Jack Frost and his goblins. The goblins had stolen the seven magic tail feathers from Doodle, Fairyland's weather rooster. The Weather Fairies used the feathers to control the weather, so now that the goblins had them, they were stirring up all kinds of trouble! Rachel and Kirsty were helping the Weather Fairies get the feathers back. Without them, Doodle was just an ordinary weather vane! Kirsty's dad had found it lying in the park. He brought it home and put it on the roof of their old barn. "Doodle has five of his magic feathers back now. I hope we find the last two before you have to go home," Kirsty said, pushing open the park gate. Rachel nodded, but before she could say anything, raindrops started splashing down around them.

两个朋友相视一笑。 这是非常忙碌的一周。 一个多雪、多风、多云、晴朗、雾蒙蒙的星期——多亏了杰克·弗罗斯特和他的小妖精。 妖精们从仙境的气象公鸡嘟嘟那里偷走了七根神奇的尾羽。 天气仙子用羽毛来控制天气，所以现在妖精们得到了羽毛，他们正在制造各种各样的麻烦！瑞秋和科斯蒂在帮天气仙子拿回羽毛。 没有他们，涂鸦只是一个普通的风向标！柯斯蒂的爸爸在公园里发现了它。 他把它带回家，放在他们旧谷仓的屋顶上。 “嘟嘟现在有五根魔法羽毛了。 我希望我们能在你回家之前找到最后两个，”科斯蒂说着推开了公园的大门。 瑞秋点了点头，但她还没来得及说什么，雨点就开始在他们周围飞溅。

The girls looked up to see a huge purple storm cloud covering the sun. The sky was getting darker by the second, and the rain was coming down harder and harder.

女孩们抬起头来，看到一片巨大的紫色风暴云遮住了太阳。 天色渐渐暗了下来，雨也下得越来越大。

"Run, quick!" Kirsty shouted. "Before we get soaked!" The girls started to run, and Rachel put her hands over her head as raindrops poured down from above. It was raining so hard that she could hardly see the path ahead. "Where are we going?" she cried. "Let's just find some place out of the rain," Kirsty replied, grabbing Rachel's hand. "I'm soaked already!" The girls stopped under a big chestnut tree near the park entrance. The tree's wide, leafy branches were perfect for keeping away the rain. "Great idea," said Rachel, shivering and trying to shake the raindrops off her coat. Just as she said that, there was a loud clap of thunder, followed by a bright flash! The whole sky lit up with a bolt of lightning. Kirsty and Rachel watched in shock as the lightning bolt slammed right into the chestnut tree.

“快跑,快!”基喊道。 “在我们被淋湿之前！”女孩们开始跑，雷切尔把手放在头上，雨滴从上面倾泻而下。 雨下得很大，她几乎看不见前面的路。 “我们要去哪儿？”她喊道。 “我们找个避雨的地方吧，”科斯蒂抓住瑞秋的手回答。 “我已经湿透了！”女孩们在公园入口附近的一棵大栗树下停了下来。 这棵树宽大的枝叶非常适合挡雨。 “好主意，”雷切尔说，一边颤抖着，一边努力抖掉外套上的雨滴。 就在她说这话的时候，雷声大作，接着是一道明亮的闪电！一道闪电照亮了整个天空。 科斯蒂和瑞秋震惊地看着闪电正好击中了栗树。
