4 Mrs Stoker Is a Joker

4 Mrs. Stoker Is a Joker When we got back to our classroom, Mr. Cooper wasn't there yet, so of course I climbed up on my chair and shook my butt at everybody. "Arlo, sit down," said Andrea, rolling her eyes. "Chillax," I told Little Miss Perfect. "It's June. School will be over in a few days. We're allowed to goof off."

当我们回到教室时，库伯先生还没到，所以我当然爬到椅子上，朝每个人摇屁股。 “阿乐，坐下。”安德烈翻着白眼说。 “别紧张，”我对完美小姐说。 “这是6月。再过几天学校就要放学了。 我们可以偷懒。”

And you'll never believe who walked into the door at that moment. Nobody! Why would you walk into a door? You could break your nose. But you'll never believe who walked into the doorway. It was our new principal, Mrs. Stoker! I thought she was going to punish me for climbing up on my chair and shaking my butt at the class. But she didn't. "Hey, third grade!" Mrs. Stoker said cheerfully. "Are you excited about graduation?" "Yes!" shouted all the girls.

你绝对不会相信那一刻谁走进来了。 没有人!你为什么要撞门？ 你可能会打断你的鼻子。 但你绝对不会相信谁走进了门口。 是我们的新校长，斯托克夫人！我以为她要惩罚我，因为我爬到椅子上，在课堂上摇屁股。 但她没有。“嘿，三年级！”斯托克太太高兴地说。 “你对毕业感到兴奋吗？”“是的！”所有的女孩都喊道。

"No!" shouted all the boys. "That reminds me," said Mrs. Stoker, "do you know why M&Ms want to graduate?" "No, why?" we all said. "So they can turn into Smarties!" said Mrs. Stoker. "Get it?" We all laughed even though it wasn't funny. You should always laugh at the principal's jokes, even when they're not funny. That's the first rule of being a kid.

“不！”所有的男孩喊道。 “这倒提醒了我，”斯托克太太说，“你知道m&m为什么要毕业吗？”“没有，为什么？”我们都说。 “这样他们就能变成聪明人了！”斯托克太太说。 “明白了吗?”我们都笑了，尽管这并不好笑。 你应该总是对校长讲的笑话发笑，即使它们并不好笑。 这是当孩子的第一准则。

"Speaking of graduation," said Mrs. Stoker, "I may have to wear sunglasses to the ceremony. Because you're all so bright! Get it? Bright? Sunglasses?" "We get it," we all said. Before she was our principal, Mrs. Stoker was a stand-up comedian. She tells jokes all the time. "Do you know why the fish didn't graduate?" asked Mrs. Stoker. "Because it didn't show up for school?" I guessed.* "No," said Mrs. Stoker. "The fish didn't graduate because its grades were under C. Get it? Under C? Undersea?" After a few more of Mrs. Stoker's bad jokes, it became harder and harder to pretend they were funny. "Tall people graduate at the top of their class," continued Mrs. Stoker, "and Mr. Will, the ice-cream man, graduated from sundae school. Get it? Ice cream? Sundae school?" I thought she was never going to stop.

“说到毕业，”斯托克太太说，“我可能得戴墨镜去参加典礼了。 因为你们都很聪明！明白了吗? 亮?太阳镜吗?”“我们明白了，”我们都说。 在担任校长之前，斯托克夫人是一位单口相声演员。 她总是讲笑话。 “你知道鱼为什么不毕业吗？”斯托克太太问。 “因为它没来上学？”我猜到了。“不，”斯托克太太说。 “这条鱼没有毕业，因为它的成绩在C以下。 明白了吗?在C ?海底?”斯托克太太又讲了几个糟糕的笑话之后，要假装它们很有趣就越来越难了。 “高个子毕业时都是班里的尖子生，”斯托克太太继续说，“卖冰淇淋的威尔先生是从圣代学校毕业的。 明白了吗?冰淇淋吗?圣代学校吗?”我还以为她不会罢休。

But finally she did. "Anyway," said Mrs. Stoker, "I heard you kids were planning your graduation. I just thought I'd stop in to see how you were making out." Ewwww! Gross! "We're not planning our graduation," said Alexia. "Mrs. Roopy is doing all the work. She wants us to have Teddy Roosevelt, Susan B. Anthony, or Thomas Edison be our guest speaker." "What's wrong with them?" asked Mrs. Stoker. "They are great American heroes." "We don't want some boring old dead person," I said. "Yeah, it's not fair!" agreed Ryan. "Well, who do you want to speak at your graduation?" asked Mrs. Stoker. "We want Lil Mouse," said Neil. I figured Mrs. Stoker wouldn't know who Lil Mouse was because she's old, and old people don't know anything. "Do you mean Lil Mouse, the

但最后她还是做到了。“不管怎样，”斯托克太太说，“我听说你们在计划毕业典礼。 我只是想过来看看你们过得怎么样。” Ewwww !恶心!“我们没有计划毕业，”亚历克西娅说。 “鲁比太太在做所有的工作。 她想要泰迪·罗斯福，苏珊·B。 安东尼或托马斯·爱迪生是我们的客座演讲者。” “他们怎么了？”斯托克太太问。 “他们是伟大的美国英雄。” “我们不想要无聊的老死人，”我说。 “是啊，这不公平！”瑞恩同意道。 “那么，你想在毕业典礼上请谁讲话？”斯托克太太问。 “我们想要小老鼠，”尼尔说。 我以为斯托克太太不知道小老鼠是谁，因为她老了，而老人什么都不知道。 “你是说小老鼠吗？

rapper?" asked Mrs. Stoker. "You've heard of Lil Mouse?" I asked. "Sure!" said Mrs. Stoker. "You may not believe this, but Lil Mouse is my nephew." WHAT?! "No way!" said Michael. "Yes way!" replied Mrs. Stoker. "Wait," said Alexia. "Is this another one of your jokes?" "No!" Mrs. Stoker said as she took out her smartphone and showed us a picture of Lil Mouse. "He's my brother's son." "I love Lil Mouse!" said Andrea. "Me too!" said Emily, who loves anything Andrea loves. "Everybody loves Lil Mouse," said Neil.

斯托克太太问。 “你听说过小老鼠吗？”我问。 “当然！”斯托克太太说。“你可能不相信，但小老鼠是我的侄子。” 什么? !“不可能！”迈克尔说。 “当然可以！”斯托克太太回答。 “等等。”亚历克西娅说。“这又是你的一个笑话吗？”“不!”斯托克太太一边说一边拿出她的智能手机给我们看了一张小老鼠的照片。 “他是我哥哥的儿子。”“我爱小老鼠！”安德烈说。 “我也是！”爱米丽说，她爱安德烈爱的一切。 “每个人都喜欢小老鼠，”尼尔说。
