"OK, OK, I'm awake. You can stop ringing now," mumbled Kirsty Tate sleepily. She reached out to turn off her alarm clock. But strangely, the alarm wasn't ringing. Quack, quack, quack! The noise that had woken her rang through the air again. Now that Kirsty was awake, she realized that the sound hadn't been coming from her alarm clock at all. It was coming from outside instead. She jumped out of bed and peeked out through the curtains. "Oh!" she cried. There was water rising right up to her windowsill. A large brown duck was swimming past, followed by five fluffy ducklings! Kirsty watched as the mother duck fussed over her babies.

“好吧，好吧，我醒了。你现在可以别再按铃了。”柯斯蒂·塔特困倦地嘟囔着。 她伸手去关掉闹钟。 但奇怪的是，警报没有响。 嘎嘎，嘎嘎，嘎嘎！吵醒她的声音又在空中响起。 现在科斯蒂醒了，她意识到声音根本不是来自她的闹钟。 而是从外面传来的。 她跳下床，透过窗帘往外偷看。 “啊！”她叫道。水一直涨到她的窗台。 一只棕色的大鸭子游了过去，后面跟着五只毛茸茸的小鸭！科斯蒂看着母鸭照料着她的孩子们。

It had been raining really hard all night. In the front yard, the grass and flowerbeds had flooded. Water lapped against the walls of the old barn, and out past the front gate the street looked like a silvery mirror. Kirsty rushed over to her best friend, Rachel Walker, who was asleep in the guest bed. Rachel was staying with Kirsty for a week during her summer vacation. "Wake up, Rachel! You have to see this!"

雨下了整整一夜。 前院的草地和花坛都淹了水。 水拍打着旧谷仓的墙壁，穿过前门，街道就像一面银色的镜子。 科斯蒂冲到她最好的朋友瑞秋·沃克身边，她正睡在客人的床上。 瑞秋在暑假期间和科斯蒂一起住了一个星期。 “醒醒，瑞秋！”你一定要看看这个！”

Kirsty said, shaking her friend gently. Rachel sat up and rubbed her eyes. "What's going on?" "I think the river must have overflowed. Everything in Wetherbury is flooded!" replied Kirsty. "Really?" Rachel was wide awake now, eagerly looking out the window. "That's odd," she said, pointing. "The water isn't that deep in the front yard and the street. How can it be right up to your bedroom window at the same time?" "Maybe it's Weather Fairy magic!" Kirsty gasped, her eyes shining. "Of course!" Rachel agreed. She knew that fairy magic followed its own rules.

科斯蒂轻轻地摇着她的朋友说。 瑞秋坐起来揉了揉眼睛。 “发生什么事了？”“我想一定是河水泛滥了。 威瑟伯里的一切都被淹了！”柯斯蒂回答。 “真的吗?”瑞秋现在完全醒了，急切地望着窗外。 “真奇怪，”她指着说。 “前院和街上的水没那么深。 它怎么可能同时跑到你卧室的窗前呢？”“也许是天气仙子的魔法！”科斯蒂喘着气，眼睛闪闪发光。 “当然!”瑞秋答应了。 她知道精灵魔法有它自己的规则。

Kirsty and Rachel were special friends of the fairies. The two girls had met while on vacation with their parents on Rainspell Island. There, they had helped the seven Rainbow Fairies get home to Fairyland after Jack Frost's spell had cast them out. Now Jack Frost was up to more trouble, and Rachel and Kirsty were on another secret fairy mission, this time with the Weather Fairies. Rachel looked over at Doodle, the weather vane on top of the barn. Usually, with the help of the Weather Fairies, Doodle the rooster was in charge of the weather in Fairyland. Each of his seven magic tail feathers controlled a different type of weather. But Jack Frost had sent his goblins to steal these magic feathers, and they had run away with them into the human world. Doodle had followed, but without his feathers, and outside of Fairyland, he had transformed into an ordinary metal weather vane. Kirsty's dad had found him lying in the park and brought him home. That's where he would have to stay until Kirsty and Rachel could return all seven of his tail feathers and send him back to Fairyland. They had already found six feathers, so there was just one more left to find! "Today's the last day of my vacation," Rachel said sadly. "I know! We have to find the magic Rain Feather today," Kirsty called over her shoulder as she quickly got dressed. "It's our last chance. At least with all this magical flooding, we can be sure that the goblin who stole the feather isn't far away!"

科斯蒂和瑞秋是仙女们的好朋友。 这两个女孩是在和父母在雨魔岛度假时认识的。 在那里，他们帮助七位彩虹仙女回到了被杰克·弗罗斯特的咒语驱逐出去的仙境。 现在，杰克·弗罗斯特又要制造更多的麻烦了，而瑞秋和科斯蒂又在执行另一项秘密的仙女任务，这次是和天气仙女一起。 瑞秋看了看杜德尔，那是谷仓顶上的风向标。 通常，在天气仙子的帮助下，公鸡嘟嘟负责仙境的天气。 它的七根神奇尾羽中的每一根都控制着不同类型的天气。 但是杰克·弗罗斯特派了他的半兽人去偷这些神奇的羽毛，他们带着羽毛逃到了人类世界。 嘟嘟跟在后面，但没有了羽毛，出了仙境，他变成了一个普通的金属风向标。 柯斯蒂的爸爸发现他躺在公园里，就把他带回家了。 它必须呆在那里，直到科斯蒂和瑞秋把它的七根尾羽全部归还，把它送回仙境。 他们已经找到了六根羽毛，所以只剩下一根了！“今天是我假期的最后一天，”瑞秋悲伤地说。 “我知道!我们今天必须找到神奇的雨羽。”科斯蒂一边迅速穿好衣服，一边回头喊道。 “这是我们最后的机会。至少有这么多魔法洪水，我们可以肯定偷羽毛的妖精就在不远处！”

Just then, there was a tapping noise at the window. "What if that's the goblin?" Rachel whispered nervously. The goblins were mean, and Jack Frost had cast a spell to make them even bigger than usual. There was a rule in Fairyland that nothing could be taller than the highest tower of the fairy palace, but the goblins were still pretty big. They reached up to the girls' shoulders! Kirsty put her finger to her lips. "Shh," she warned, edging toward the window. She peeked out, then threw back the curtains with a smile. An elegant white swan was tapping on the window with its beak. And a tiny fairy was sitting on the swan's back, waving at the

就在这时，窗户上传来敲击声。 “如果那是妖精呢？”瑞秋紧张地小声说。 半兽人很凶恶，杰克·弗罗斯特施了一个咒语，把他们变得比平时更大。 在仙境里有一条规矩，任何东西都不能比仙女宫殿里最高的塔高，但妖精们还是相当大。 他们把手伸到女孩们的肩膀上！柯斯蒂把手指放在嘴唇上。 “嘘。”她警告道，一面朝窗户走去。 她往外偷看了一眼，然后笑着把窗帘掀了起来。 一只优雅的白天鹅正用它的喙敲打着窗户。 一个小仙女正坐在天鹅的背上，向天鹅挥手
