9. The Big Surprise Ending

9 The Big Surprise Ending It was almost time for my favorite part of the day—dismissal! Everybody was gathering up their pencil cases and backpacks. That's when Mrs. Barr came into our classroom. She was wearing the mask I made in art class. "I just wanted to say goodbye," she said.

快到我一天中最喜欢的部分了——下课！每个人都在收拾自己的铅笔盒和书包。 就在那时，巴尔夫人走进了我们的教室。 她戴着我在美术课上做的面具。 “我只是想说再见，”她说。

"We're going to miss you," everybody said. Some of the kids went over to give Mrs. Barr hugs. "I'm going to miss you too," she said as she went over and opened the window. "Where are you going to travel next?" asked Ryan. "Oh, I don't know," Mrs. Barr replied. "Maybe Istanbul. That's in Turkey. Istanbul is the only major city that is in two continents. You can actually stand with one foot in Asia and one foot in Europe." "Cool!" everybody said. "Or maybe I'll go to Indonesia," said Mrs. Barr. "Did you know that Indonesia has more than thirteen thousand islands?"* Brrrrrriiiiiinnnnngggg! The dismissal bell rang. That's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. Mr. Klutz came into our

“我们会想念你的，”每个人都说。 一些孩子走过去拥抱巴尔夫人。 “我也会想你的，”她说着走过去打开了窗户。 “你接下来要去哪里旅行？”瑞恩问。 “哦，我不知道，”巴尔夫人回答。 “也许伊斯坦布尔。那是在土耳其。 伊斯坦布尔是唯一一个跨越两个大洲的主要城市。 你可以一只脚站在亚洲，一只脚站在欧洲。” “酷！”大家都说。“或者我也可以去印尼，”巴尔说。 “你知道印尼有一万三千多个岛屿吗？”* Brrrrrriiiiiinnnnngggg !下课铃响了。 就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 克鲁茨先生走进我们的

classroom. Well, that's not the weird part. Mr. Klutz comes into our classroom all the time. The weird part was what happened next. "This has been a wonderful week, Mrs. Barr," said Mr. Klutz. "I wanted to thank you for giving up your valuable time and teaching our students about geography." "I have had a lovely week," said Mrs. Barr. "Thank you for letting me visit your school." And you'll never believe who burst through the door at that moment. Nobody! You can't burst through a door! When are you going to learn? But you'll never believe who burst through the doorway. It was four policemen! "Freeze, dirtbag!" one of them shouted. "You're under arrest!"

教室。这还不是奇怪的地方。 克鲁茨先生总是进我们的教室。 最奇怪的是接下来发生的事情。 “巴尔夫人，这是美妙的一周，”克鲁茨说。 “我想感谢您放弃宝贵的时间来教我们的学生地理。” “我这一周过得很愉快，”巴尔夫人说。 “谢谢你让我参观你的学校。” 你绝对不会相信是谁在那一刻闯了进来。 没有人!你不能破门而入！你打算什么时候学？ 但你绝对不会相信是谁闯了进来。 是四个警察！“别动，混蛋！”其中一个喊道。 “你被捕了！”

"Who's under arrest?" we all shouted. The police officers pointed at Mrs. Barr. "Gasp!" everybody gasped. "What did Mrs. Barr do?" asked Mr. Klutz. "She is the notorious Globetrotting Jewel Thief," said one of the officers. "I knew it!" I shouted. "Oh, she's a clever one," the officer continued. "We've chased her from England to Italy to Asia, and across the

“谁被捕了？”我们都喊道。 警官们指着巴尔太太。 “喘气！”每个人都倒吸了一口气。“巴尔夫人做了什么？”克鲁茨问道。 “她就是臭名昭著的环球珠宝大盗，”其中一名警官说。 “我就知道！”我叫道。“哦，她很聪明，”军官继续说。 “我们追着她从英国到意大利，到亚洲，再到欧洲

Pacific Ocean. She hides out in schools wherever she goes. Every time we're about to catch her, she slips away. But now we've finally nabbed her." "Mrs. Barr, you've gone too far," one of the other cops said. "There must be some mistake," Mr. Cooper said. "Mrs. Barr is just a nice lady I met on vacation." "Oh yeah?" said one of the officers as he grabbed Mrs. Barr's suitcase. "Let's have a look in here." "She keeps her doggie underwear collection in there!" Andrea shouted. "Sure she does," the officer said as he opened the suitcase and picked up some doggie underwear. "But underneath, the suitcase is filled with stolen jewels! See?" He held up a fistful of necklaces and bracelets.

太平洋。她无论走到哪里都躲在学校里。 每次我们要抓住她的时候，她就溜走了。 但现在我们终于抓住了她。” “巴尔夫人，你太过分了，”另一个警察说。 “一定是搞错了，”库珀说。 “巴尔夫人只是我在度假时遇到的一位好女士。” “哦，是吗？”其中一名警官抓起巴尔夫人的手提箱说。 “让我们看看这里。” “她把她的狗狗内衣收藏在那里！”安德里亚喊道。 “当然，”警官一边说一边打开行李箱，拿出一些狗狗的内衣。 “但是箱子下面装满了偷来的珠宝！”看到了什么?”他举起一把项链和手镯。

"Gasp!" everybody gasped. "I told you!" I shouted. "Nobody needs a whole suitcase to carry their doggie underwear!" "What do you have to say for yourself, Mrs. Barr?" asked Mr. Klutz. "But... but..." she stuttered. We all giggled because Mrs. Barr said "but," which sounds just like "butt" even though it only has one T.

“喘气！”每个人都倒吸了一口气。“我告诉过你！”我叫道。 “没人需要整整一个手提箱来装狗狗的内衣！”“你有什么要为自己辩解的吗，巴尔夫人？”克鲁茨问道。 “但是……可是……”她结结巴巴地说。 我们都咯咯地笑，因为巴尔太太说了“but”，听起来就像“butt”，尽管它只有一个T。
