10 The Truth About Mr. Granite

Chapter 10 The Truth About Mr. Granite As it turned out, Mr. Granite didn't have a clock or a bomb inside him. I didn't even hear him tick. That day was a perfectly normal day. Or as normal as it can be when your teacher is from another planet. When the three-o'clock bell rang, Mr. Klutz made an announcement over the intercom. "Have a great weekend, everyone," he said. "Next week we'll find out if Ella Mentry School is the greenest school in the county. I can almost taste that chocolate cake now! Oh, and teachers, please stop throwing teacups around the teachers' lounge. Thank

事实证明，格拉尼特先生体内既没有时钟，也没有炸弹。 我甚至没听到他嘀嗒声。 那天是非常平常的一天。 或者当你的老师来自另一个星球时，这再正常不过了。 3点钟的铃声响了，克鲁茨先生通过对讲机宣布了一件事。 “祝大家周末愉快，”他说。 他说：“下周我们就会知道艾拉门特里学校是不是全县最环保的学校。 我现在几乎能尝到巧克力蛋糕的味道了！哦，老师们，请不要在教师休息室里乱扔茶杯。 谢谢

you." Me, Michael, and Ryan rode our bikes home. We were pretty tired, because we had been riding our bikes all day in class. But that's when I got the greatest idea in the history of the world! "Hey," I told the guys, "I know how we can make our school the greenest school in the county." "How?" they asked. "Let's paint it green!" "A.J.," Ryan said, "you're a genius!" "That's why I'm in the gifted and talented program," I said modestly. Everybody agreed that I should get the No Bell Prize. That night, after dinner, I told my mom there was a bingo game at school. Michael and Ryan made up other excuses. Michael brought a bucket of green paint he found in

你。”我、迈克尔和瑞恩骑自行车回家。 我们很累，因为我们在课堂上骑了一整天的自行车。 但就在那时，我想到了世界历史上最伟大的主意！“嘿，”我对他们说，“我知道如何让我们的学校成为全县最环保的学校。” “怎么做？”他们问。“我们把它漆成绿色吧！”“aj，”瑞恩说，“你真是个天才！”“这就是为什么我在天才班，”我谦虚地说。 每个人都认为我应该获得诺贝尔奖。 那天晚上，晚饭后，我告诉妈妈学校里有宾果游戏。 迈克尔和瑞恩又编了别的借口。 迈克尔带来了一桶绿色的油漆

his basement. Ryan brought some paintbrushes. We rode our bikes and met at the school. "Okay," I told the guys, "let's start by painting the front door." Michael opened up the paint can. Ryan gave me a brush. I was about to dip the brush into the paint when the most amazing thing in the history of the world happened. A guy jumped out from behind the bushes! "Freeze, dirtbags!" he shouted. AHHHHHHHH! It was Officer Spence, the school security guard! He was supposed to protect the school from bad guys and criminals, not from us! "Let's get out of here!" shouted Michael. We hopped on our bikes and pedaled as fast as we could down the street. I never

他的地下室。瑞恩带了一些画笔。 我们骑着自行车在学校见面。 “好吧，”我对他们说，“我们从粉刷前门开始吧。” 迈克尔打开了油漆罐。 瑞安给了我一把刷子。我正要把画笔浸入颜料时，世界历史上最神奇的事情发生了。 一个人从灌木丛后面跳出来！“别动，混蛋！”他喊道。 AHHHHHHHH !是斯宾塞警官，学校的保安！他应该保护学校不受坏人和罪犯的伤害，而不是我们！“我们离开这里吧！”迈克尔喊道。 我们跳上自行车，以最快的速度在街上骑着。 我从来没有

even turned around to see if Officer Spence was chasing us. "Whew! That was a close one!" Ryan said when we were a few blocks away from school. "I don't think Officer Spence saw our faces," said Michael. "Let's go home," I said. Just as we were about to turn the corner, I realized something. This was Mr. Granite's street! "Let's go over to Mr. Granite's house!" I suggested. "Maybe we can catch him taking his face off." We pedaled over to Mr. Granite's house. It was easy to find because of that giant

甚至回过头来看看斯宾塞警官是否在追我们。 “嘘!好险啊！”我们在离学校几个街区远的地方，瑞恩说。 “我想斯宾塞警官没有看到我们的脸，”迈克尔说。 “我们回家吧，”我说。就在我们要转弯的时候，我意识到一件事。 这是格拉尼特先生的街道！“我们到格拉尼特先生家去吧！”我建议。 “也许我们能抓到他把脸撕下来。” 我们骑车去了格拉尼特先生的家。 因为有那个巨人，所以很容易找到

POD thing on the grass. There was a light on inside the garage. We parked our bikes across the street and tiptoed over to the garage like secret agents. It was cool. "Shhhhhhh!" Ryan whispered. "Nobody scream if he peels off his face." We peeked between the cracks in the garage door. "Do you see anything?" Michael whispered. "Look!" Ryan whispered back. "Mr. Granite is in there!" "Yeah, over on the left," I whispered. "What's he doing?" Ryan whispered. "He's building something," Michael whispered. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years what we saw Mr. Granite building in there. I'm not gonna tell you.

草地上的POD。车库里还亮着灯。 我们把自行车停在街对面，像特工一样蹑手蹑脚地走到车库。 很酷。“Shhhhhhh !”瑞安低声说。 “如果他把脸剥下来，没人会尖叫。” 我们从车库门缝里偷看。 “你看见什么了吗？”迈克尔低声说。 “看!”瑞安小声回答。 “花岗岩先生在里面！”“是的，就在左边。”我低声说。 “他在干什么？”瑞安低声说。 “他在造东西。”迈克尔低声说。 你绝对不会相信花岗岩先生在里面造了什么。 我不会告诉你的。

Okay, okay, I'll tell you. But you have to read the next chapter to find out. So nah-nah-nah boo-boo on you!

好吧，好吧，我告诉你。 但你必须阅读下一章才能找到答案。 所以不要不要不要不要不要！
