5. Kirsty to the Rescue

Kirsty pointed up at the mirror. "Would lightning be strong enough to break that?" she asked Storm quickly. Storm shook her head. "No, fairy lightning isn't like normal lightning. It would just bounce back off a mirror," she replied. Kirsty grinned. "Perfect," she said. "I'm going to try to surprise the goblin. You get ready to grab the feather!" Kirsty could tell that Rachel was starting to get tired, so she flew down toward the goblin right away. He was just stretching out a bony hand to grab Rachel's coat, when Kirsty tugged hard on one of his long ears.

柯斯蒂指着镜子。 “闪电够强吗？”她急忙问风暴。 “风暴”摇了摇头。“不，精灵闪电和普通闪电不一样。 它只会被镜子反射回来，”她回答说。 斯蒂咧嘴一笑。“太好了，”她说。 “我要设法给妖精一个惊喜。 你准备去抓那根羽毛！”科斯蒂看得出来瑞秋开始累了，所以她立刻飞向妖精。 他正伸出瘦骨嶙峋的手去抓瑞秋的外套，这时科斯蒂使劲拽着他的一只长耳朵。

"Ow! Who did that?" he yelped, jumping back. Kirsty fluttered up in front of the mirror. "Yoo-hoo! Over here!" she yelled, waving. "Catch me if you can!" She saw the goblin aim the Lightning Feather right at her. "Silly little fairy," he yelled. "Take that!" And another crackling, golden lightning bolt zoomed toward Kirsty.

“噢!谁干的？”他尖叫着，跳了回去。 柯斯蒂在镜子前扑腾起来。 “哇呼!在这里！”她喊道，挥手。 “如果你能抓住我！”她看见妖精把闪电羽毛对准她。 “愚蠢的小仙女，”他喊道。 “看箭!”另一道噼啪作响的金色闪电向科斯蒂飞来。

Kirsty held her breath as she watched it whiz through the air. It was so close, she could almost feel its heat on her face! "Move!" Rachel shouted in panic, terrified that her friend was going to get hit. But Kirsty waited until the very last second. Then, just as the lightning was about to strike her, she dodged out of its way. The fairy lightning struck the mirror and, as Storm had predicted, it bounced right back— straight at the goblin!

看着它在空中呼啸而过，科斯蒂屏住了呼吸。 它离得很近，她几乎能感觉到它在她脸上的热量！“行动!”瑞秋惊恐地喊着，害怕她的朋友会被撞。 但科斯蒂一直等到最后一刻。 然后，就在闪电即将击中她的时候，她闪开了。 仙女般的闪电击中了镜子，正如“风暴”所预测的那样，它直接弹了回来——对准了妖精！

"Help!" he shouted, trying to get out of the way. He tripped over his own big feet and fell to the ground under the dinosaur model, dropping the Lightning Feather! Quick as a flash, Storm was there, diving toward the feather in a blur of purple and gold. She snatched it up and flew high in the air, out of the reach of goblin fingers. "Nice work, Kirsty!" she cheered. "Hey!" yelled the goblin in fury, jumping up to try to reach the feather. He fell awkwardly against the dinosaur, lost his balance, and tumbled right into the water below with the rubber fish!

“救命！”他喊道，试图让开。 他被自己的大脚绊了一下，摔在恐龙模型下面，闪电羽毛掉在地上！“风暴”迅即赶到，朝那根紫色和金色相间的羽毛扑去。 她一把抓起它，高高飞向空中，摆脱了妖精的手指。 “干得好，科斯蒂！”她欢呼道。 “嘿！”妖精愤怒地喊道，跳起来想够那根羽毛。 他笨拙地摔倒在恐龙身上，失去了平衡，和橡皮鱼一起滚进了下面的水里！

Grinning mischievously, Storm pointed the Lightning Feather at the model dinosaur. A stream of fiery lightning bolts shot out of the feather and struck the red and blue buttons on the control panel. Rachel's eyes widened as the dinosaur sparkled all over for a second, and then…

“风暴”调皮地笑着，把“闪电羽毛”指向恐龙模型。 一束炽热的闪电从羽毛中射出，击中了控制面板上的红色和蓝色按钮。 瑞秋睁大了眼睛，只见恐龙浑身闪闪发光，然后……

"RROOOOAAARRRRRR!"' And with that, the dinosaur bent down and snatched up the goblin in its teeth!

“RROOOOAAARRRRRR !“‘说着，恐龙弯下腰，用牙齿咬住了妖精！
