5. Cotton Candy Clouds

Quickly, Pearl flew over to Kirsty. "Which cloud is Rachel in?" she asked. "That one…" Kirsty began, pointing. Then she stopped. There were so many clouds floating around, she'd lost sight of Rachel. "Oh, I don't know anymore, Pearl. That awful goblin did it!" she said. "I have a few things to say to him! Can you make me human-sized again?" Pearl nodded. "Don't worry," she said, "I'll find Rachel. I promise. You get the feather back."

珠儿飞快地飞到科斯蒂身边。 “拉结在哪一片云里？”她问。 “那个……”柯斯蒂指着说。 然后她停了下来。周围飘着很多云，她都看不见瑞秋了。 “哦，我也不知道了，珠儿。 是那个可怕的妖精干的！” “我有几句话要对他说！”你能把我变回真人大小吗？”珍珠点了点头。 “别担心，”她说，“我会找到雷切尔的。 我保证。你把羽毛拿回来。”

With a wave of her wand, Pearl turned Kirsty back to her normal size. Then she flew off to search through the clouds. Kirsty stormed over to the goblin. She was usually scared of the nasty creatures— especially since Jack Frost had used his magic to make them even bigger than before. But Kirsty was so annoyed, she didn't care. Rachel was in danger, and it was all the goblin's fault. The goblin was lying on top of his fluffy cloud, still eating cotton candy. When he saw Kirsty marching toward him, he looked nervous. Quickly, he stuffed the Cloud Feather right into his mouth. "Give me that feather!" Kirsty demanded. "Wha' fe'er?" the goblin spluttered, trying to keep his mouth closed.

珠儿一挥魔杖，把柯斯蒂变回了原来的大小。 然后她飞到云层中去寻找。 科斯蒂怒气冲冲地走向妖精。 她通常很害怕这些讨厌的生物——尤其是自从杰克·弗罗斯特用他的魔法把它们变得比以前更大之后。 但是科斯蒂很生气，她根本不在乎。 瑞秋有危险，都是妖精的错。 妖精躺在他毛茸茸的云朵上，还在吃棉花糖。 当他看到科斯蒂朝他走来时，他显得很紧张。 他迅速地把云羽塞进嘴里。 “把那根羽毛给我！”要求。 “怎么了？”妖精结结巴巴地说，努力闭上嘴巴。

Kirsty frowned. How was she going to get the feather out of the goblin's mouth? Just then, she spotted a peppermint stick lying on the floor. That gave her an idea. She picked it up, and began tickling the bottom of the goblin's leathery foot! The goblin began to laugh, but he kept his mouth shut. "Shtop it," he mumbled. But then he couldn't hold his laughter in anymore. "Oh, ha ha ha," he laughed. As his laughter burst out, so did the magic Cloud Feather! Kirsty tried to grab the feather, but the goblin was quicker. "Oh, no!" He grinned, snatching the feather away. "This is my feather! I'm the only one who knows how to make it work." "Actually, I know how to make it work, too!" called a silvery voice. Kirsty turned to see Pearl flying toward them. To Kirsty's relief, she was pulling a pink cloud behind her with Rachel inside.

基皱起了眉头。她怎么才能把羽毛从妖精嘴里拿出来呢？ 就在这时，她发现地板上有一根薄荷棒。 这给了她一个主意。她把它捡起来，开始挠妖精的皮革般的脚底！妖精笑了起来，但他还是闭上了嘴。 “别说了。”他咕哝着。但后来他再也忍不住笑了。 “哦，哈哈哈，”他笑着说。 随着他的笑声爆发，神奇的云羽也跟着笑了起来！科斯蒂想抓住那根羽毛，但妖精跑得更快。 “哦,不!”他咧嘴一笑，一把夺过羽毛。 “这是我的羽毛！”我是唯一知道如何让它工作的人。” “事实上，我也知道怎么让它工作！”一个银白色的声音喊道。 柯斯蒂转过身来，看见珠儿朝他们飞来。 让柯斯蒂松了一口气的是，她身后拉着一朵粉红色的云，蕾切尔在里面。

Rachel's head was sticking out of a hole in the cloud, and she grinned at Kirsty. "Hey, this cloud's made of cotton candy!" she called. "And it's delicious. I can eat my way out!" She took another big bite of the cloud. Pearl flew down to Kirsty and the goblin. "I can make the clouds do

雷切尔的头从云层的一个洞里伸出来，她朝科斯蒂咧嘴一笑。 “嘿，这朵云是棉花糖做的！”她喊道。 “而且很好吃。我可以自己吃出去！”她又咬了一大口云。 珠儿飞到柯斯蒂和妖精身边。 “我可以让云做

all sorts of things," she said. "They will float exactly where I tell them to. I can even make them dance around me." She held out her hand to the goblin. "Why don't you give me the feather and let me show you?" The goblin looked sly. "No, it's mine!" he said. "Anyway, I can do those tricks myself." "Go on, then," Pearl challenged. The goblin began to concentrate. He waved the feather around in the air. Very slowly, all the clouds in the room drifted toward him. He twirled the feather, and the clouds began to spin around him in a circle, faster and faster. "See?" the goblin bragged. "OK, you know what to do, Rachel," Pearl whispered to her.

各种各样的事情，”她说。 “我让它们飘到哪里，它们就飘到哪里。 我甚至可以让它们围着我跳舞。” 她向妖精伸出手。 “你为什么不把羽毛给我，让我给你看呢？”妖精看起来很狡猾。 “不，是我的！”他说。“不管怎么说，我自己会玩那些把戏。” “那就说下去吧，”珠儿挑战道。 妖精开始集中注意力。 他在空中挥舞着羽毛。 慢慢地，房间里所有的乌云都飘向他。 他转动羽毛，云朵开始绕着他旋转，越来越快。 “看到了吗？”妖精吹嘘道。 “好吧，你知道该怎么做，雷切尔，”珠儿低声对她说。

Pearl let go of Rachel's cotton candy cloud, and she and Kirsty watched as it flew over to the goblin. Rachel's cloud began to whirl around him with the others. It got closer and closer to the goblin. Then, suddenly, as her cloud sped past the goblin's hand, Rachel stuck her arm out and grabbed the Cloud Feather!

珀尔松开了瑞秋的棉花糖云，她和科斯蒂看着它飞向妖精。 雷切尔的乌云开始和其他人一起在他周围旋转。 它离妖精越来越近了。 然后，突然，当她的云从妖精的手中掠过时，瑞秋伸出手臂抓住了云羽！
