2. Cake Chaos!

Kirsty and Rachel caught the balloon and took it back to the little boy, who was standing outside one of the tents. When he saw it, the boy's face lit up. "My balloon!" He beamed. "Thank you." "You're welcome," Kirsty replied. Just then, she heard a familiar voice. "Hello, Kirsty," called a plump, jolly-looking lady, as she hurried over to join the girls. "Hi, Gran," Kirsty said. She turned to Rachel. "This is my dad's mom, Grandma Tate," she explained. "Hello, Mrs. Tate," said Rachel. She glanced at the huge cake tin that Kirsty's gran held in her hands. "Is that the cake you're entering in

科斯蒂和雷切尔抓住气球，把它还给了站在帐篷外面的小男孩。 当他看到它时，男孩的脸亮了起来。 “我的气球!”他微笑着。“谢谢你。” “不用谢，”科斯蒂回答。 就在这时，她听到一个熟悉的声音。 “你好，科斯蒂，”一位胖胖的、看上去很快乐的女士喊道，她急忙跑过来和姑娘们会合。 “嗨，奶奶，”科斯蒂说。她转向瑞秋。 “这是我爸爸的妈妈，泰特奶奶，”她解释道。 “你好，泰特太太，”雷切尔说。 她瞥了一眼奶奶手里拿着的巨大蛋糕罐。 “那是你要进去的蛋糕吗？

the competition?" Kirsty's gran nodded. "It's a chocolate fudge cake," she said. "That grumpy Mrs. Adelstrop always wins the competition. But I think I have a chance this year." "Who's Mrs. Adelstrop?" Rachel asked.

竞争?”科斯蒂的奶奶点了点头。 “这是一个巧克力软糖蛋糕，”她说。 “那个脾气暴躁的阿德斯特罗普太太总是赢得比赛。 但我认为今年我有机会。” “阿德尔斯特罗普太太是谁？”雷切尔问道。

Just then, another woman with a cake tin pushed by. "Out of my way!" she demanded. "This wind is terrible!" With that, she disappeared inside a nearby tent. "I'll bet you've guessed who that was," whispered Kirsty's gran. "Mrs. Adelstrop!" the girls replied. "You got it right on the first try," said Gran with a laugh. "Well, I have to go get ready now. See you girls soon!" And she followed Mrs. Adelstrop into the tent. "Good luck," called Rachel. "Should we go inside, too?" Kirsty asked. "The goblin with the Breeze Feather must be close by. He might even be hiding inside the tent." Rachel nodded and the girls wandered into the tent. A tall, thin man with a notepad stood behind a table full of delicious-looking cakes. Mrs. Adelstrop smiled confidently and placed an enormous lemon cake on the table.

就在这时，另一个拿着蛋糕罐的女人推了过来。 “别挡道！”她要求道。 “这风太可怕了！”说完，她就消失在附近的一个帐篷里。 “我打赌你已经猜到是谁了。”科斯蒂的奶奶小声说。 “阿德尔斯特洛普太太！”姑娘们回答。 “你第一次就做对了，”奶奶笑着说。 “好了，我现在得去准备了。 再见，姑娘们！”她跟着阿德斯特罗普太太进了帐篷。 “祝你好运。”瑞秋说。 “我们也要进去吗？”基问道。 “拿着风羽的妖精一定就在附近。 他甚至可能躲在帐篷里。” 雷切尔点了点头，女孩们走进帐篷。 一个又高又瘦的男人拿着记事本站在桌子后面，桌子上摆满了看起来很好吃的蛋糕。 阿德斯特罗普太太自信地笑了笑，把一个巨大的柠檬蛋糕放在桌上。

"That looks pretty good," Kirsty whispered, noticing the sugared lemon slices on top. But then Kirsty's gran took out her chocolate fudge cake. Layers of chocolate sponge and buttercream filling were topped with icing and chocolate leaves. Mrs. Adelstrop's smile faded when she saw it. "Wow! That's Gran's best cake ever!" Kirsty exclaimed happily. "It looks delicious," Rachel agreed. But as Mrs. Tate stepped forward to place her cake on the table, a huge gust of wind blew in through the entrance of the tent. A colored rope covered with flags snaked into the tent and wrapped itself around her legs. Mrs. Tate stumbled, and the cake flew out of her hands. It sailed

“看起来很不错，”科斯蒂低声说，注意到上面的糖柠檬片。 但是后来Kirsty的奶奶拿出了她的巧克力软糖蛋糕。 层层叠叠的海绵巧克力和奶油馅上还铺着糖霜和巧克力叶。 阿德斯特罗普太太看到这幅画时，脸上的笑容消失了。 “哇!这是奶奶做过的最好的蛋糕！”柯斯蒂高兴地叫道。 “看起来很好吃，”瑞秋同意道。 当泰特太太走上前去准备把蛋糕放在桌子上时，一阵风从帐篷的入口吹了进来。 一根覆盖着彩旗的彩色绳子蜿蜒进入帐篷，缠绕在她的腿上。 泰特太太绊了一下，蛋糕从她手中飞了出去。 它航行

through the air and landed— splat— right in the judge's face! Kirsty's gran looked horrified. "Oh, how awful! Look at that poor judge," she whispered to the girls. "And there go my chances of winning the Cake Competition this year!" she added sadly. "What an awful accident," said Mrs. Adelstrop loudly. Kirsty could tell she was trying not to look happy. The judge stood there, covered in chocolate icing, as everyone rushed to help him clean up. The sound of the howling wind surrounded the tent, and the canvas flapped loudly. "The wind's getting worse," whispered Rachel. "Let's see if the goblin is hiding under the table." Kirsty lifted a corner of the tablecloth and peeked underneath, but there was no sign of a goblin.

飞过空中，啪的一声落在了法官的脸上！科斯蒂的奶奶看起来吓坏了。 “啊，太可怕了！”看看那个可怜的法官，”她低声对姑娘们说。 “我今年赢得蛋糕比赛的机会也泡汤了！”她悲伤地补充道。 “多么可怕的意外啊，"阿德斯特洛普太太大声说。 科斯蒂看得出来，她在努力装出不高兴的样子。 法官站在那里，浑身裹着巧克力糖衣，大家都冲过来帮他打扫。 狂风的呼啸声包围了帐篷，帆布大声地拍打着。 “风越来越大了，”瑞秋小声说。 “我们去看看妖精是不是藏在桌子底下。” 柯斯蒂掀开桌布的一角，往下面偷看，但没有妖精的迹象。

Rachel glanced around the tent, looking for other possible goblin hiding places. Her eyes fell on a pretty fairy decoration, perched on top of a cake. Suddenly, she gasped. The tiny fairy was waving at her!

瑞秋扫视了一下帐篷，寻找其他可能的地精藏身之处。 她的目光落在一块蛋糕顶上一个漂亮的仙女装饰品上。 突然，她倒吸了一口气。小仙女在向她招手！
