5. Hedgehog Help

Hedgehog Help Rachel and Kirsty looked at each other in alarm. Fluffy seemed scared, too. The goblins were on their trail again! "They're coming toward us," Rachel whispered as the goblin voices got louder. "Don't worry," Fern said, smiling. She didn't seem nervous. "My sisters will send help quickly." Just then, Rachel spotted a line of golden sparkles twinkling toward them through the fruit trees. "What's that?" she whispered.

瑞秋和柯斯蒂惊恐地面面相觑。 路威似乎也很害怕。 半兽人又开始追踪他们了!“他们向我们走来了。”瑞秋低声说，妖精的声音越来越大了。 “别担心，”弗恩笑着说。 她似乎并不紧张。“我的姐妹们会很快派人来帮忙的。” 就在这时，雷切尔发现一排金色的闪光透过果树向他们闪烁。 “那是什么?”她小声说。

"Is it goblin magic?" Kirsty asked, suspicious. Fern shook her head. "They're fireflies! My sisters must have sent them to show us the way back to the pot." Suddenly, there was another shout from inside the maze. "Look, what are those lights over there?" "The goblins have spotted the fireflies!" Rachel gasped. "Quickly, Fluffy!" Fern said as they all climbed onto the squirrel's back again. "Follow the fireflies!" The golden specks were dancing away through the trees. Fluffy scampered after them, just as the goblins dashed out of the maze. "There's the fairy!" one of them shouted, pointing at Fern. "Stop that squirrel!"

“是妖精的魔法吗?”柯斯蒂怀疑地问。 芬摇了摇头。“他们是萤火虫!一定是我的姐姐们派他们来给我们指路的。” 突然，从迷宫里又传来一声喊叫。 “看，那边的灯是什么?”“半兽人发现了萤火虫!”瑞秋深吸一口气。 “快,毛茸茸的!”芬说，这时大家又爬上了松鼠的背。 “跟着萤火虫走!”金色的斑点在树林中翩翩起舞。 就在半兽人冲出迷宫的时候，毛毛跟在他们后面蹦蹦跳跳。 “仙女来了!”其中一个指着弗恩喊道。 “拦住那只松鼠!”

"Come back!" the other roared as Fluffy ran off. Rachel, Kirsty, and Fern clung to Fluffy's fur as the squirrel zigzagged back and forth to get away from the goblins. Fluffy scrambled up the trunk of the nearest tree. He was just about to jump across to the next, when someone called to them from below. "Hello!"

“回来!”另一个吼叫着，这时路威跑开了。 瑞秋、科斯蒂和弗恩紧紧抓着路威的毛，这只松鼠来回曲折地躲避妖精。 毛毛爬上了最近一棵树的树干。 他正要跳下去，这时有人从下面叫他们。 “你好!”

"Who's that?" Rachel asked. She, Kirsty, and Fern peered down at the ground. A hedgehog was standing at the foot of the apple tree. "Hello!" he hollered again. "The animals in the garden have heard that you're in trouble. We'd like to help." "Oh, thank you!" Fern called. Then she gasped as the two goblins appeared among the trees. "Where'd that squirrel go?" one of them yelled. Quickly, Fluffy leaped across to the next apple tree. The goblins roared with anger and dashed forward. At that moment, the hedgehog curled himself into a ball and rolled right into their path. Rachel thought he looked like a big, prickly soccer ball.

“那是谁?”雷切尔问道。 她、科斯蒂和弗恩低头看着地面。 一只刺猬站在苹果树脚下。 “你好!”他又喊了一声。 “花园里的动物听说你有麻烦了。 我们愿意帮忙。”“哦，谢谢你!”蕨类植物。 然后，当两个半兽人出现在树林中时，她倒吸了一口气。 “那只松鼠去哪儿了?”其中一个喊道。 毛毛飞快地跳到下一棵苹果树上。 半兽人愤怒地咆哮着冲向前去。 在那一刻，刺猬蜷缩成一个球，滚到他们的路上。 瑞秋觉得他像个带刺的大足球。

"OW!" both goblins howled. "My toes!" Rachel and Kirsty couldn't help laughing as the goblins jumped around holding their feet. "Hooray for Hedgehog!" the girls shouted.

“哎哟!”两个半兽人都叫了起来。 “我的脚趾!”小妖精们抱着他们的脚跳来跳去，瑞秋和科斯蒂忍不住笑了起来。 “刺猬万岁!”女孩们喊道。

As Fluffy jumped from one fruit tree to the next, the firefly lights behind them began to go out. "Hey! Who turned off the lights?" wailed one of the goblins, still rubbing his foot. "Which way are we supposed to go?" "How should I know?" snapped the other goblin. Their voices were getting fainter now as Fluffy hurried on.

当毛毛从一棵果树跳到另一棵果树时，他们身后的萤火虫开始熄灭。 “嘿!谁把灯关了?”其中一个半兽人一边哭喊，一边还在揉脚。 “我们应该走哪条路?”“我怎么知道?”另一个妖精厉声说。 他们的声音越来越微弱，路威继续赶路。
