7. The Easter Bunny Is Weird

7 The Easter Bunny Is Weird It was Mr. Klutz who poked his head into the doorway! "Are you all having a good time?" he asked. "Yes!" shouted all the girls except for Alexia. "No!" shouted all the boys and Alexia. "This looks like fun," said Mr. Klutz. "Did you ever dye Easter eggs, Mr. Klutz?" asked Ryan. "Sure I did," he replied. "I was a boy once, you know." "Only once?" I asked. "I'm a boy all the time." Everybody laughed even though I didn't say anything funny.

是克鲁茨先生把头伸进门口的！“你们都玩得开心吗？”他问。 “是的！”除了阿丽克西娅，所有的女孩都喊了起来。 “不！”所有的男孩和亚历克西娅喊道。 “这看起来很有趣，”克鲁茨说。 “你染过复活节彩蛋吗，克鲁茨先生？”瑞恩问。 “当然，”他回答说。“你知道，我曾经是个孩子。” “只有一次?”我问。“我一直是个男孩。” 大家都笑了，尽管我没说什么好笑的话。

Mr. Klutz leaned down so he could get a good look at our colored eggs. That's when I noticed something. Mr. Klutz's head looked just like an egg! "Hey Mr. Klutz," I said, "can we dye your head?" Well, it was like I said a bad word or something. All the kids stopped talking. Mr. Klutz looked at me. Ms. Hannah looked at me. Everybody was looking at me. I thought I heard crickets chirping. "I'll make a deal with you, A.J.," Mr. Klutz told me. "I'll let you dye my head... if you can recite the eight times table." Hmmm. We were learning the eight times table at school. I wasn't sure if I remembered the whole thing. "Eight times one is eight," I said. "Because one eight can only be eight. Any dumbhead knows that."

克鲁茨先生俯下身来，好好看一看我们的彩蛋。 就在那时，我注意到了一些事情。 克鲁茨先生的头看起来就像个鸡蛋！“嘿，克鲁茨先生，”我说，“我们可以染你的头吗？”好像我说了一句脏话什么的。 所有的孩子都不说话了。 克鲁茨先生看着我。Ms。 汉娜看着我。每个人都看着我。 我好像听到蟋蟀在叫。 “我跟你做个交易，aj，”克鲁茨对我说。 “我要让你染我的头…… 如果你能背诵八乘法表。” 嗯。我们在学校学习八乘法表。 我不确定我是否记得整件事。 “八乘一等于八，”我说。 “因为1个8只能是8。 傻瓜都知道这一点。”

"Right," said Mr. Klutz. "Eight times two is sixteen," I said. "Because eight plus eight is sixteen." "Yes..." "Eight times three is... twenty-four," I said, adding another eight. "Um-hmm." "Eight times four is..." "Thirty-two," Andrea whispered in my ear. "Thirty-two," I said. I kept going. Some of them I knew, and some of them I didn't. When I didn't know an answer, Andrea or Emily whispered it in my ear. Finally, I got to the end.

“对，”克鲁茨说。“八乘二等于十六，”我说。 “因为8加8等于16。” “是的……”“8乘以3是…… 二十四，”我说，又加了八个。 “嗯。”“八乘四是……” “三十二，”安德里亚在我耳边低语。 “三十二，”我说。我继续往前走。 有些我认识，有些我不认识。 当我不知道答案时，安德里亚或艾米丽在我耳边低声说。 终于，我读到了结尾。

"...and eight times ten is... eighty!" I said. "That's right!" said Mr. Klutz. "Now you may dye my head." We couldn't dip Mr. Klutz's head into a cup because it was too big. Ms. Hannah gave us Q-tips so we could dab the dye on Mr. Klutz. We had a great time dyeing his

“…8乘10是… 八十年!”我说。“没错！”克鲁茨说。 “现在你可以给我染头发了。” 我们不能把克鲁茨先生的头伸进杯子里，因为杯子太大了。 汉娜女士给了我们棉签，这样我们就可以把染料轻拍在克鲁茨先生身上。 我们给他染色时玩得很开心

head red, white, blue, and green. When the dye was dry, Andrea drew a butterfly right in the middle. It looked cool. After that Mr. Klutz left, and he took his dyed head with him. It was cleanup time. While we cleaned up, Ms. Hannah turned on a boom box, and the song "Here Comes Peter Cottontail" started playing. "Hey, guess who's coming, kids?" asked Ms. Hannah. "Santa Claus?" I asked.

头部红色，白色，蓝色和绿色。 染料干了之后，安德里亚在中间画了一只蝴蝶。 看起来很酷。之后，克鲁茨先生带着他染过的头离开了。 这是清理时间。当我们打扫的时候。 汉娜打开音箱，开始播放《彼得来了》这首歌。 “嘿，猜猜谁来了，孩子们？” 汉娜。“圣诞老人?”我问。

"Santa comes at Christmas, dumbhead!" said Andrea. "Oh, snap!" said Ryan. I was going to say "So is your face" to Andrea, but you'll never believe in a million hundred years who walked into the door at that moment. It was a giant Easter Bunny! He walked right into the door! "Ouch!" the Easter Bunny yelled. "Who put this door here? I can't see through this stupid bunny head." That voice sounded familiar. I knew I had heard it before. "Hey, the Easter Bunny isn't supposed to talk!" said Michael. "Oh, yeah, I forgot," said the Easter Bunny.

“圣诞老人在圣诞节来，笨蛋！”安德烈说。 “哦，糟了！”瑞恩说。我本来想对安德里亚说“你的脸也是”的，但你绝对不会相信那一刻走进来的是谁。 那是一只巨大的复活节兔子！他径直走进了门！“哎哟！”复活节兔子叫道。 “谁把这扇门放在这儿的？”我不能透过这个愚蠢的兔子头看东西。” 那声音听起来很熟悉。 我知道我以前听过。 “嘿，复活节兔子是不应该说话的！”迈克尔说。 “哦，是的，我忘了，”复活节兔子说。
