2. Trouble in Fairyland

Kirsty was whisked through the sky in a whirl of colorful fairy dust. She flew over rivers, mountains, trees, and houses, passing fluffy white clouds on the way. Soon, she saw the red-and-white toadstool houses of Fairyland below her. There was the river, winding its way through the green hills. The water sparkled like diamonds in the golden sunshine. The wind was bringing Kirsty down now, close to the silver Fairy Palace and its pretty pink towers. Kirsty could see King Oberon and Queen Titania waiting for her with a group of fairies. And next to the queen was someone else that Kirsty knew very well.

柯斯蒂在五彩缤纷的仙尘漩涡中掠过天空。 她飞过河流、山脉、树木和房屋，途中飞过蓬松的白云。 很快，她看到了下面仙境里红白相间的毒菌屋。 那是一条蜿蜒流过青山的河流。 在金色的阳光下，水像钻石一样闪闪发光。 现在，风把柯斯蒂吹了下来，接近银色的仙女宫和漂亮的粉色塔楼。 柯斯蒂看见奥伯伦国王和提坦尼亚王后带着一群仙女在等她。 站在王后旁边的另一个人是科斯蒂非常熟悉的。

"Rachel!" called Kirsty. Rachel rushed over as Kirsty landed gently on the grass. "I came the same way you did," Rachel explained excitedly, giving Kirsty a hug. "My snow globe broke, and the fairy dust brought me here." "Do you know why?" asked Kirsty. Rachel shook her head as the king and queen and their fairies joined the girls. "It's wonderful to see you both," said Queen Titania, smiling. "But I'm afraid we need your help again," she added, looking worried. "I hope you don't mind us bringing you here like this," King Oberon said. "Of course not!" Kirsty said eagerly. "Is something wrong?" The queen sighed. "I'm afraid that Jack Frost is up to his old tricks

“瑞秋！”当科斯蒂轻轻地落在草地上时，瑞秋冲了过来。 “我和你走的是同一条路，”瑞秋兴奋地解释道，给了科斯蒂一个拥抱。 “我的雪花玻璃球坏了，仙尘把我带到这里来了。” “你知道为什么吗？”柯斯蒂问。 拉结摇了摇头，国王、王后和他们的仙女们加入了女孩们的行列。 “见到你们俩真是太好了，”泰妮娅王后微笑着说。 “但恐怕我们还需要你的帮助，”她补充说，看起来很担心。 “我希望你不介意我们把你这样带到这里来，”奥伯伦国王说。 “当然不会！”柯斯蒂急切地说。 “出什么事了吗？”王后叹了口气。 “恐怕杰克·弗罗斯特又要故技重施了

again." Rachel looked shocked. "But he promised not to harm the Rainbow Fairies anymore!" she said, glancing up at the sky with a shiver. The sun had disappeared, and it had turned suddenly chilly. "That's true," Queen Titania replied. "Unfortunately, he didn't promise not to harm our Weather Fairies!" She waved her hand at the seven fairies standing nearby. "You mean this strange weather is all because of Jack Frost?" asked Kirsty, as sunshine broke through the gray clouds again. The queen nodded. "Doodle, our weather vane rooster, is in charge of Fairyland's weather," she explained. "Doodle's tail is made up of seven beautiful feathers. Each feather controls one kind of weather." "Every morning, Doodle decides on the best weather for every part of Fairyland," the king went on. "Then he gives each Weather Fairy the correct feather, and they go off to do their weather work." Rachel and Kirsty were listening hard. "Come with us," said the queen. "We'll show you what's happened." The king and queen led Rachel and Kirsty into the palace gardens and over to a golden pond.

了。”瑞秋看起来很震惊。 “但是他保证不会再伤害彩虹仙女了！”她说着，打了个寒颤，抬头看了看天空。 太阳已经不见了，天气突然变冷了。 “这倒是真的，”泰坦尼亚王后回答。 “不幸的是，他没有答应不伤害我们的天气仙子！”她向站在旁边的七个仙女挥了挥手。 “你是说这种奇怪的天气都是因为杰克·弗罗斯特吗？”当阳光再次冲破灰色的云层时，柯斯蒂问道。 王后点点头。“嘟嘟，我们的风向标公鸡，负责仙境的天气，”她解释说。 嘟嘟的尾巴是由七根美丽的羽毛组成的。 每根羽毛控制一种天气。” “每天早上，嘟嘟为仙境的每一个角落决定最好的天气，”国王继续说。 “然后他给每个天气仙子正确的羽毛，他们就去做他们的气象工作了。” 瑞秋和科斯蒂听得很认真。 “跟我们来吧，”王后说。 “我们会告诉你发生了什么。” 国王和王后领着雷切尔和柯斯蒂走进宫殿的花园，来到一个金色的池塘边。

The queen scattered some fairy dust onto the water, and it began to fizz and bubble. After a moment, the water grew still and clear. A picture began to appear on the surface. It showed a beautiful rooster with a magnificent tail of red, gold, and copper-colored feathers. "That's Doodle," the queen explained. "Yesterday morning he planned the weather for Fairyland, like he always does." Rachel and Kirsty watched as Doodle flew to the top of the palace

王后把一些仙尘撒在水面上，水面开始嘶嘶冒泡。 过了一会儿，水变得平静清澈了。 一幅图画开始出现在水面上。 它展示了一只美丽的公鸡，尾巴上有红色、金色和铜色的羽毛。 “那是嘟嘟，”女王解释说。 “昨天早上，他像往常一样，预报了仙境的天气。” 瑞秋和科斯蒂看着嘟嘟飞到宫殿的顶端

and perched on one of the pink towers. He spun slowly around, gazing out over the hills of Fairyland. Then he nodded his feathery head and flew down again. "Jack Frost has always helped Doodle and our Weather Fairies with the winter weather," the king continued. "There's so much work, with all the ice and snow and frost. But now it's summer, and Jack Frost has nothing to do." "So he's bored," the queen put in. "And that means trouble! Look.…" She pointed at the pictures appearing on the water. Doodle was standing on the palace steps, waiting for the Weather Fairies to collect their feathers.

栖息在一座粉色的高塔上。 他慢慢地转过身来，凝视着仙境的群山。 然后他点了点头，又飞了下来。 “杰克·弗罗斯特总是帮助嘟嘟和我们的天气仙子应对冬天的天气，”国王继续说道。 “有很多工作要做，还有冰雪和霜冻。 但现在是夏天，杰克·弗罗斯特无事可做。” “所以他很无聊，”王后插嘴说。 “那就意味着麻烦！”看。她指着水面上的图画说。 嘟嘟站在宫殿的台阶上，等着气象仙子收集他们的羽毛。

Kirsty gasped. "Look, Rachel!" she cried. "The goblins!" Rachel remembered the goblins. They were Jack Frost's servants, and they were mean and selfish. They had big feet, pointed noses, and ugly faces. Seven goblins were creeping toward Doodle. The rooster did not see them until it was too late. The goblins reached out and snatched Doodle's tail feathers. Then, they ran away with the feathers, laughing as they went. "Oh, no!" said Kirsty, as the rooster chased after the goblins. "Poor Doodle!" "It gets worse." The queen sighed. "The goblins escaped into the human world, and Doodle followed them. And now Doodle is very far away from Fairyland, and without his magic tail feathers, his powers just won't work," she explained.

气喘吁吁地说。“看，雷切尔！” “小妖精!”瑞秋想起了妖精。 他们是杰克·弗罗斯特的仆人，他们既卑鄙又自私。 他们的脚很大，鼻子很尖，脸很丑。 七只半兽人向嘟嘟爬来。 公鸡没有看到他们，直到为时已晚。 半兽人伸出手，一把抓住嘟嘟的尾羽。 然后，他们带着羽毛跑了，边跑边笑。 “哦，不！”当公鸡追赶半兽人时，科斯蒂说。 “可怜的嘟嘟!”“情况会变得更糟。” 王后叹了口气。半兽人逃进了人类世界，嘟嘟跟着他们。 现在嘟嘟离仙境很远了，没有他那神奇的尾羽，他的力量就无法发挥作用，”她解释说。
