12. Run for It!

12 Run for It! It was getting late. The servants started picking up the kites, Hula-Hoops, and other things off the lawn. The face painters, jugglers, banjo players, and storytellers packed up their stuff to leave. The big lawn looked perfect for a football game again. "Well, it has been a lovely day," Mayor Hubble announced. "Thank you for coming to Hubble Manor." "See you all next Easter," said Mrs. Bubbles. "Tah tah!" People started making their way toward the driveway. "Wait a minute," said one of the parents. "We didn't find the golden egg yet." "Yeah, nobody found the golden egg,"

12快跑！天色已晚。 仆人们开始从草坪上捡起风筝、呼啦圈和其他东西。 脸谱画家、杂耍演员、班卓琴演奏者和讲故事的人收拾好他们的东西准备离开。 大草坪看起来又很适合踢足球了。 “嗯，今天真是美好的一天，”哈勃市长宣布。 “感谢您来到哈勃庄园。” “明年复活节再见，”泡泡太太说。 “发的发!”人们开始朝车道走去。 “等一下，”其中一位家长说。 “我们还没有找到金蛋。” “是啊，没人找到金蛋。”

said another parent. "You said there are ten hundred-dollar bills inside it," said a third parent. "Did I say that?" asked Mayor Hubble. "Ha-ha. Well, I was just joking." "That's right," Mrs. Bubbles said. "The mayor was just joking around. He's always saying silly things like that. He's such a comedian!" "It didn't sound like a joke to me," said a parent. "I'm not leaving here until I find that egg," one of the other parents said. That's when I saw the most amazing thing in the history of the world. Mayor Hubble took something out of his pocket like he didn't want anyone to notice. He was slipping it into Mrs. Bubbles's hand. But neither of them was looking down, and they dropped the thing on the grass.

另一位家长说。“你说里面有一千美元的钞票，”第三位家长说。 “我说过吗？”哈伯市长问。 “哈哈。好吧，我只是在开玩笑。” “没错，”泡泡太太说。 “市长只是在开玩笑。 他总是说那种蠢话。 他真是个喜剧演员！”一位家长说：“我觉得这不像是在开玩笑。” “在找到那颗蛋之前，我是不会离开这里的，”另一位家长说。 就在那时，我看到了世界历史上最神奇的事情。 哈勃市长从口袋里掏出了什么东西好像他不想让别人注意到似的。 他正把它塞进泡泡太太的手里。 但是他们谁也没有往下看，于是他们把那东西掉在了草地上。

It was the golden egg! Mayor Hubble was going to keep the thousand dollars for himself! What a scam! "There it is!" I shouted. "The golden egg!" "The Hubbles have been hiding it the whole time!" shouted Alexia. "Run for it, Bubbles!" Mayor Hubble yelled. Then he picked the golden egg up off the grass and started running. "Get them!" somebody shouted. Mayor Hubble and Bubbles Hubble were running across the lawn to where the helicopter was sitting. The mayor ran fast for an old guy. And Mrs. Bubbles moved pretty well for a lady wearing high heels. The Hubbles were at the twenty-yard line! The thirty-yard line! Kids and parents were running after them. Some of the kids were throwing eggs, malted milk balls, and

是金蛋！哈伯市长打算把这一千美元留给自己！真是个骗局！“在那儿！”我叫道。 “金蛋！”“哈伯夫妇一直在把它藏起来！” “快跑，泡泡！”哈勃市长喊道。 然后他从草地上捡起金蛋，开始跑。 “抓住他们！”有人喊道。 哈勃市长和哈勃泡泡穿过草坪跑向直升机停着的地方。 市长为了一个老人跑得很快。 泡泡夫人作为一个穿高跟鞋的女士，移动得相当好。 哈伯一家在二十码线上！三十码线！孩子们和父母在后面追着他们。 有些孩子在扔鸡蛋，麦乳精球，还有

jelly beans at them. The Hubbles were at the forty-yard line! They were at midfield! The propellers of the helicopter started spinning around. "They stole the golden egg!" somebody shouted. "They're escaping!" "Stop those criminals!" shouted somebody else. Everybody was chasing Mayor Hubble and Mrs. Bubbles. They were at the thirty-yard line! The twenty-five-yard line! It looked like they were going to make it to the helicopter and get away! But you'll never believe in a million hundred years who came charging out of nowhere. It was the Easter Bunny! Boomer Wiggins—in his Easter Bunny costume—was dashing across the field at

果冻豆看着他们。哈伯一家已经到了四十码线！他们在中场！直升机的螺旋桨开始旋转。 “他们偷了金蛋！”有人喊道。 “他们逃!”“阻止那些罪犯！”另一个人喊道。 大家都在追哈勃市长和泡泡太太。 他们已经在三十码线了！25码线！看起来他们要爬到直升机那里逃走了！但你永远不会相信谁从哪里冒出来的。 是复活节兔子！布玛尔·威金斯穿着复活节兔子的服装，冲过田野
