6. Bertram to the Rescue

Bertram to the Rescue "Oh, no!" Ruby gasped. "The goblins must have been really close. Thank goodness they didn't discover the pot." She flew over to the pot with Amber right behind her. They drummed on the ice with their tiny fists. But it was too thick for them to break through. "Should we try, Rachel?" asked Kirsty. "Maybe we could smash the ice with a stick." But Bertram had another idea. "Stand back, please, everyone," he said.

“噢，不!”Ruby气喘吁吁地说。 “妖精们一定离得很近。 谢天谢地，他们没有发现那个罐子。” 她飞向罐子，安布尔就在她后面。 他们用小小的拳头在冰上击鼓。 但它太厚了，他们无法突破。 “我们应该试试吗，雷切尔?” “也许我们可以用一根棍子把冰打碎。” 但是伯特伦有了另一个想法。 “请大家退后，”他说。

The girls moved to the edge of the clearing. Ruby sat on Kirsty's hand, and Amber flew over to Rachel. They all watched. Suddenly, Bertram took a mighty hop forward. He jumped right at the sheet of ice, kicking out with his webbed feet. But the ice did not break. "Let's try again," he panted. He jumped forward again and hit the ice. This time, there was a loud cracking sound. After one more jump, the ice shattered into little pieces. Some of it fell inside the pot. Rachel and Kirsty rushed over to fish out the pieces of ice before they melted. "There you are," Bertram croaked.

女孩们走到空地的边缘。 鲁比坐在科斯蒂的手上，安布尔飞向瑞秋。 他们都看着。突然，伯特伦向前有力地跳了一下。 他直接跳到冰层上，用带蹼的脚踢了出去。 但是冰并没有破。 “我们再试一次。”他喘着气说。 他又向前一跳，撞到了冰上。 这一次，传来一声巨响。 又跳了一次之后，冰碎成了小块。 有一些掉进了锅里。 蕾切尔和科斯蒂赶在冰块融化前把它们捞出来。 “你来了。”伯特伦嘶哑地说。

"Thank you, Bertram," Ruby called. She and Amber flew down and hugged the frog. Bertram looked pleased. "Just doing my job, Miss Ruby," he said. "You and Miss Amber must stay very close to the pot from now on. It's dangerous for you to go too far." "We've got to say good-bye to our friends first," Amber told him. She flew into the air and did a backflip, smiling at Rachel and Kirsty. "Thank you a thousand times."

“谢谢你，伯特伦。”鲁比喊道。 她和安布尔飞下来拥抱青蛙。 伯特伦看上去很高兴。“我只是在做我的工作，鲁比小姐，”他说。 “从现在起，你和安布尔小姐必须离锅很近。 你走得太远是很危险的。” “我们得先和朋友们说再见，”安布尔告诉他。 她飞到空中，做了一个后空翻，对着瑞秋和科斯蒂微笑。 “万分感谢。”

"We'll see you again soon," said Rachel. "When we've found your next Rainbow sister," Kirsty added. "Good luck!" said Ruby. "We'll be waiting here for you. Come on, Amber." She took her sister's hand, and they flew over to the pot. The two fairies turned to wave at the girls. Then they disappeared inside.

“我们很快会再见到你的，”雷切尔说。 “等我们找到你的下一个彩虹姐妹，”科斯蒂补充道。 “祝你好运!”“我们在这里等你。 来吧，安布尔。”她拉着姐姐的手，飞到锅边。 两个仙女转身向女孩们挥手。 然后他们就消失在里面了。

"Don't worry," Bertram said. "I'll look after them." "We know you will," Rachel said as she picked up her beach bag. She and Kirsty walked out of the woods. "I'm glad Ruby isn't on her own anymore," said Rachel. "Now she has Amber and Bertram." "I didn't like those goblins," Kirsty said with a shudder. "I hope they don't come back again."

“别担心，”伯特伦说。 “我会照顾他们的。”“我们知道你会的，”瑞秋一边说一边拿起她的沙滩包。 她和科斯蒂走出了树林。 “我很高兴鲁比不再是一个人了，”瑞秋说。 “现在她有安布尔和伯特伦了。” “我不喜欢那些半兽人。”科斯蒂打了个寒颤。 “我希望他们不要再来了。”

The girls made their way back to the beach. Their parents were packing up their towels. Rachel's dad saw Rachel and Kirsty coming down the path and went to meet them. "You've been gone a long time." He smiled. "We were just coming to look for you." "Are we going home now?" Rachel asked. Mr. Walker nodded. "It's very strange," he said. "It's suddenly turned quite chilly."

女孩们回到了海滩。 他们的父母正在收拾毛巾。 瑞秋的爸爸看到瑞秋和科斯蒂沿着小路走过来，就去迎接她们。 “你离开很久了。” 他笑了。“我们正要来找你呢。” “我们现在回家吗?”雷切尔问道。 沃克点点头。“这很奇怪，”他说。 “天气突然变得很冷。”
