3. A Stranger in the Pot

A Stranger in the Pot "I'm free!" Amber cried joyfully. She shot out of the shell and up into the air, her wings fluttering in a rainbow-colored blur. Orange fairy dust floated down around Kirsty and Rachel. It turned into orange bubbles as it fell. One of the bubbles landed on Rachel's arm and burst with a tiny pop! "The bubbles smell like oranges!" Rachel said with a smile.

“我自由了!”安布尔高兴地叫道。 她从壳里飞了出来，飞到空中，她的翅膀在彩虹色的模糊中扇动。 橙色的仙尘飘到了科斯蒂和瑞秋的周围。 它落下来的时候变成了橙色的泡泡。 其中一个泡泡落在瑞秋的手臂上，啪的一声爆开了!“泡泡闻起来像橙子!”瑞秋笑着说。

Amber spun through the sky, turning cartwheels one after the other. "Thank you!" she called. Then she swooped down toward Rachel and Kirsty. She wore a shiny orange leotard and tall boots. Her brown hair was held in a high ponytail, tied with a band of peach blossoms. In her hand was an orange wand tipped with gold. "I'm so glad you found me!" Amber shouted. She landed on Rachel's shoulder, then cartwheeled lightly across to Kirsty's. "But who are you? And where are my Rainbow sisters? And what's happening in Fairyland? How am I going to get back there?" She was talking so fast that Kirsty and Rachel couldn't get a word in. Suddenly, Amber stopped. She floated down and landed softly on Rachel's hand. "I'm sorry," she said with a smile. "But I haven't had anyone to talk to. I've been trapped in that shell ever since Jack Frost's spell banished us from Fairyland. How did you know where to find me?"

安布尔在天空中旋转，一个接一个地翻着筋斗。 “谢谢你!”她喊道。然后她向瑞秋和科斯蒂俯冲而下。 她穿着一件亮闪闪的橙色紧身衣和一双高筒靴。 她棕色的头发扎成高高的马尾辫，用一束桃花扎了起来。 她手里拿着一根镶着金子的橙色魔杖。 “我很高兴你找到了我!”琥珀喊道。 她落在瑞秋的肩膀上，然后轻轻地侧手翻到科斯蒂那里。 “你是谁?”我的彩虹姐妹们在哪里? 仙境里发生了什么? 我怎么才能回到那里呢?”她说得太快了，科斯蒂和瑞秋都插不上话。 突然，安布尔停了下来。她飘了下来，轻轻地落在瑞秋的手上。 “对不起，”她笑着说。 “但是我没有人可以和我说话。 自从杰克·弗罗斯特的咒语把我们驱逐出仙境后我就一直被困在那个壳里。 你怎么知道在哪儿能找到我?”

"Kirsty and I promised your sister Ruby that we would look for all the Rainbow Fairies," Rachel told her. "Ruby?" Amber's face lit up. She spun around on Rachel's hand. "You've found Ruby?" "Yes, she's safe now," Rachel said. "She's in the pot at the end of the rainbow." Amber did a happy backflip. "Please take me to her!" she begged. "I'll ask our parents if we can go for a walk," Kirsty said. And she ran off across the beach. "Do you know what's happening in Fairyland?" Amber asked Rachel.

“科斯蒂和我答应过你妹妹鲁比，我们会去找所有的彩虹仙女，”瑞秋告诉她。 “Ruby呢?”安布尔的脸亮了起来。 她抓住瑞秋的手转过身来。 “你找到鲁比了?”“是的，她现在安全了，”瑞秋说。 “她在彩虹尽头的罐子里。” 安布尔开心地做了个后空翻。 “请带我去见她吧!”她恳求道。 “我会问我们的父母我们是否可以去散步，”科斯蒂说。 然后她跑到海滩那边去了。 “你知道仙境里发生了什么事吗?”安布尔问瑞秋。

Rachel nodded. She and Kirsty had flown to Fairyland with Ruby. Ruby had used her wand to shrink them to fairy size, and she had given them magical fairy wings. "King Oberon and Queen Titania miss you very much," Rachel told Amber. "With no color, Fairyland is a sad place."

雷切尔点了点头。她和科斯蒂和鲁比一起飞到了仙境。 鲁比用她的魔杖把他们缩小到仙女的大小，还给他们插上了神奇的仙女翅膀。 “奥伯伦国王和泰坦尼亚王后非常想念你，”雷切尔告诉安布尔。 “没有色彩，仙境是一个悲伤的地方。”

Amber's wings drooped. Kirsty was hurrying back toward them. "Mom said we can go for a walk," she panted. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Amber called. She flew up and did a somersault in midair. Rachel pulled their shorts, T-shirts, and sneakers out of her beach bag and both girls put them on. "Rachel, could you bring my shell?" Amber asked. Rachel looked surprised. "Yes, if you want," she said. Amber nodded. "It's really comfy," she explained. "It will make a lovely bed for me and my sisters." Rachel put the shell in her beach bag, and they set off, with Amber sitting cross-legged on Kirsty's shoulder.

安布尔的翅膀垂了下来。科斯蒂急忙向他们走来。 “妈妈说我们可以去散步，”她喘着气说。 “那么，我们还在等什么呢?” 我们走吧!”琥珀。她飞起来，在半空中翻了个筋斗。 瑞秋从她的沙滩包里拿出她们的短裤、t恤和运动鞋，两个女孩都穿上了。 “瑞秋，你能把我的贝壳拿来吗?”琥珀问道。 瑞秋看起来很惊讶。“是的，如果你愿意的话，”她说。 琥珀点点头。“真的很舒服，”她解释说。 “它可以给我和我的姐妹们做一张可爱的床。” 瑞秋把贝壳放进她的沙滩包里，他们出发了，安布尔盘腿坐在科斯蒂的肩膀上。

"My wings are a bit stiff after being in the shell for so long," she told them. "I don't think I can fly very far yet." The girls followed the path to the clearing in the woods where the pot at the end of the rainbow was hidden.

“在壳里呆了这么久，我的翅膀有点僵硬，”她告诉他们。 “我想我还不能飞得很远。” 女孩们沿着小路来到树林里的空地，彩虹尽头的罐子就藏在那里。
