4 Everybody Loves Bonbons

Chapter 4 Everybody Loves Bonbons The next morning, we had to go to the all-purpose room for an assembly. Mr. Klutz got up onstage with Officer Spence, our school security guard. Officer Spence was wearing a fireman costume. "Today we're going to learn about fire safety," Mr. Klutz said. "Officer Spence is a trained firefighter." "Fire is very dangerous, kids," said Officer Spence. "Does anybody know what you should do if your clothes catch on fire?" I raised my hand, and Officer Spence pointed to me. "If your clothes catch on fire," I said, "you should buy new clothes." Everybody laughed even though I didn't say anything funny.

第4章每个人都喜欢糖果第二天早上，我们必须去万能教室开会。 克鲁茨先生和我们学校的保安斯宾塞警官一起上台。 斯宾塞警官穿着消防员服装。 “今天我们要学习消防安全，”克鲁茨说。 “斯宾塞警官是一位训练有素的消防员。” “火很危险，孩子们，”斯宾塞警官说。 “有人知道如果你的衣服着火了该怎么办吗？”我举起手，斯宾塞警官指着我。 “如果你的衣服着火了，”我说，“你应该买新衣服。” 大家都笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。

"Before you buy new clothes," said Officer Spence, "you should STOP, DROP, AND ROLL. Watch this." Officer Spence did the most amazing thing in the history of the world. He poured some stuff on his fireman costume. Then he took a lighter out of his pocket and set himself on fire! Officer Spence's fireman costume was full of flames! "STOP, DROP, AND ROLL!" shouted Mr. Klutz. "STOP, DROP, AND ROLL!" We all started chanting. Officer Spence threw himself on the ground and covered his nose. Then he rolled all over the stage until the fire was out.

“在你买新衣服之前，”斯宾塞警官说，“你应该停下，放下，滚。 看这个。”斯宾塞警官做了世界历史上最了不起的事。 他把一些东西倒在他的消防员服上。 然后他从口袋里掏出打火机，把自己点着了！斯宾塞警官的消防服上满是火焰！“停下，放下，滚！”克鲁茨先生喊道。 “停，掉，滚！”我们都开始诵经。 斯宾塞警官扑倒在地，捂着鼻子。 然后他在舞台上滚来滚去，直到火熄灭。

Officer Spence makes no sense. He told us that we shouldn't go home and set ourselves on fire. We learned all kinds of other stuff about preventing fires too. Like you shouldn't ever set your brother or sister on fire. When we got back to class, Ryan's mom was waiting for us. Ryan hid under his desk. Andrea's mom was waiting for us too. Andrea sat up even straighter than usual (if

斯宾塞警官毫无道理。 他告诉我们不要回家自焚。 我们还学习了其他各种关于防火的知识。 就像你不该放火烧了你的兄弟姐妹一样。 当我们回到教室时，瑞恩的妈妈正在等我们。 瑞恩躲在桌子底下。安德里亚的妈妈也在等我们。 安德里亚比平时坐得更直了

that's possible) and folded her hands so her mother would know how perfect she is. The two PTA moms told Mrs. Daisy that the class had a surprise for her. We all went to our cubbies to get our presents. Then we lined up and put them on Mrs. Daisy's desk. "I got you a box of bonbons," I told Mrs. Daisy. "Hey, I got her a box of bonbons too!" said Michael. "So did I!" said Emily. "Me too!" said Neil the nude kid. It turned out that just about everybody in class got Mrs. Daisy bonbons! That's a lot of bonbons. "Thank you so much," Mrs. Daisy said. "You know how much I love bonbons!" "Everybody loves bonbons," said Emily. "Why don't you open a box right now?" Michael suggested.

这是可能的)，然后交叉双手，让妈妈知道她有多完美。 两位家长教师联系会的妈妈告诉黛西太太，班上有一个惊喜要给她。 我们都去自己的小隔间拿礼物。 然后我们排好队，把它们放在黛西夫人的桌子上。 “我给你买了一盒糖果，”我对黛西太太说。 “嘿，我也给她买了一盒糖果！”迈克尔说。 “我也是！”爱米丽说。“我也是！”裸体小孩尼尔说。 结果班上几乎每个人都得到了黛西夫人的糖果！那是很多糖果。 “太谢谢你了，”黛西太太说。 “你知道我有多喜欢糖果！”“每个人都喜欢糖果，”艾米丽说。 “你为什么不现在就打开盒子呢？”迈克尔建议。

"Oh, I really shouldn't. I'm trying to eat healthier," Mrs. Daisy said. "Well, maybe just one." Andrea's mom passed out bonbons to everyone. While we ate them, Mrs. Dole went to the front of the class. "Part of my job as PTA president is to plan your graduation," she said. "You're going to wear caps and gowns, and there will be a guest speaker and a big cake, and you're going to get diplomas and—" "Is all that really necessary?" asked Andrea's mom. "With all due respect, the children are just moving up to third grade."* "Just moving up to third grade?" Mrs. Dole said. "This is an important milestone in the children's lives! Our babies are growing up so fast. Soon they'll be off to middle school. Before we know it, they'll be in high school. Then they'll be going off to

“哦，我真的不应该。我在努力吃得更健康，”黛西太太说。 “嗯，也许只有一个。”安德里亚的妈妈给大家发了糖果。 当我们吃的时候，多尔夫人走到教室前面。 “作为家长会主席，我的工作之一就是为你们的毕业做准备，”她说。 “你们要戴上帽子，穿上长袍，有一位嘉宾演讲，吃一个大蛋糕，你们要拿到文凭，还有——”“这些真的有必要吗？”安德烈的妈妈问。 “恕我直言，孩子们刚刚升到三年级。”“刚升到三年级？”多尔太太说。 “这是孩子们人生中的一个重要里程碑！”我们的孩子长得太快了。 很快他们就要上中学了。 不知不觉，他们就上高中了。 然后他们会去

college and I won't see my little boy anymore…." Mrs. Dole started sobbing. Ryan looked like he was gonna die. I thought his mom might tell more stories about Ryan peeing. But she just blew her nose in a tissue and blubbered something about how much we grew since we were in kindergarten. Andrea's mom rolled her eyes. I don't

我再也见不到我的小男孩了....” 多尔太太开始抽泣起来。 瑞安看起来像是要死了。 我想他妈妈可能会告诉我更多关于瑞安尿尿的故事。 但她只是用纸巾擤了擤鼻子，哭诉着我们从幼儿园以来长了多少。 安德莉亚的妈妈翻了个白眼。 我不
