5 IN A PIGGLE

IN A PIGGLE "I think I saw her arm move!" said Bean. Really, she hadn't seen anything, but pretending made life more interesting. "I think I saw her breathe!" said Ivy. She made binoculars with her fingers and peered at Zellaphine. "The blanket's going up and down!"

“我想我看到她的胳膊动了！”比恩说。 真的，她什么也没看见，但假装让生活更有趣了。 “我想我看到她呼吸了！”艾薇说。 她用手指做成双筒望远镜，凝视着泽拉芬。 “毯子在上下摆动！”

"Waah," said Bean quietly out of the side of her mouth. "That was you," Ivy giggled. Bean tiptoed closer. Zellaphine lay like a blob on the tinfoil table. Her lips were still drooly. Her cheeks were still droopy. She wasn't moving. "Maybe she's stunned," said Bean. "Maybe," said Ivy. She looked at Zellaphine a moment and then she bonked her on the head. "Wake up, sister!"

“哇，”比恩从她的嘴角轻声说。 “那是你，”艾薇咯咯笑着说。 比恩蹑手蹑脚地走近。泽拉芬像一团东西一样躺在锡纸桌上。 她的嘴唇还流着口水。 她的双颊仍然下垂。 她没有动。“也许她惊呆了，”比恩说。 “也许吧，”艾薇说。她看了泽拉芬一会儿，然后在她头上敲了一下。 “醒醒，妹妹！”

"She'll thank us in the end!" Bean said. She picked Zellaphine up and dropped her on the floor. "Wake up, baby!" They threw Zellaphine around the room a little, but she didn't come to life. She was still a doll. Bean thought it had been fun trying, but Ivy was worried. "I can feel myself getting more spoiled," she said. "All you have to do is give me the jiggly man," said Bean. "Then you'll be cured." Ivy shook her head. "No. I won't. That's how spoiled I am. I won't give you the only toy you want. I won't even let you play with it." "Aw, come on!" Suddenly, Bean wanted the jiggly man with all her heart. "Don't be so spoiled." "See what I mean?" said Ivy. She chewed her thumb knuckle, which was a thing she did when she was worried. "I've got to get a sister." "Let's try brain food," Bean suggested. Brain food was one of Bean and Ivy's greatest

“她最后会感谢我们的！”豆说。 她抱起泽拉芬，把她扔在地板上。 “醒醒，宝贝！”他们把泽拉芬在房间里扔来扔去，但她没有苏醒过来。 她还是个娃娃。比恩觉得尝试很有趣，但艾薇很担心。 “我能感觉到自己越来越被宠坏了，”她说。 “你所要做的就是把那个摇摇晃晃的人给我，”比恩说。 “那么你就会痊愈的。”艾薇摇了摇头。 “没有。我不会的。我就是这么被宠坏了。 我不会把你唯一想要的玩具给你。 我甚至不让你玩它。” “啊，别这样！”突然，比恩全心全意地想要那个摇摇晃晃的男人。 “别被宠坏了。”“明白我的意思了吗？”艾薇说。 她咬了咬拇指指关节，这是她担心的时候会做的事情。 “我得有个妹妹。” “我们试试健脑食品吧，”比恩建议道。 健脑食品是比恩和艾薇最好的食品之一

inventions. Everyone knows that food helps your brain think. But normal food just helps your brain think normal thoughts. When Ivy and Bean wanted to think un-normal thoughts, they ate un-normal food. That's why they called it brain food. In the kitchen, Ivy got out carrot sticks and chocolate milk powder. One of the things that Bean liked best about Ivy's house was chocolate milk powder. They each rolled a carrot in chocolate milk powder and chomped it down. "Dee-licious!" said Bean.

发明。每个人都知道食物有助于大脑思考。 但正常的食物只是帮助你的大脑思考正常的想法。 当艾薇和比恩想要思考不正常的想法时，他们就吃不正常的食物。 这就是为什么他们称它为健脑食品。 艾薇在厨房里拿出胡萝卜条和巧克力奶粉。 比恩最喜欢艾薇家的东西之一就是巧克力奶粉。 他们每人把一根胡萝卜卷在巧克力奶粉里，然后一口嚼下去。 “太好吃了！”比恩说。

The second one wasn't quite as delicious. The third one was pretty bad. "I think we need to try something else, anyway," said Ivy. "My thoughts are still normal." She rooted around in the refrigerator and found some pickles. "That's good," Bean said. "Pickles are shaped like brains." Slowly, Ivy peeled two bananas. She took a pickle in one hand and a banana in the other. So did Bean. "Go," said Ivy. She stuffed some banana in her mouth and took a bite of pickle. "Mm" she said but she shivered when she said,, it. Bean did it the other way around. She chomped off a big piece of pickle and shoved some banana in after it. "Wg," she said, swallowing. Ivy's face shriveled as she took another bite of pickle. "I think I'm starting to have un-normal thoughts," said Bean. She took a deep breath

第二个就没那么好吃了。 第三个很糟糕。 “不管怎样，我想我们得试试别的办法，”艾薇说。 “我的想法还是正常的。” 她在冰箱里翻来翻去，找到了一些泡菜。 “那很好，”比恩说。“泡菜的形状像大脑。” 艾薇慢慢地剥了两根香蕉。 她一只手拿着泡菜，另一只手拿着香蕉。 比恩也是如此。“去吧，”艾薇说。 她把一些香蕉塞进嘴里，咬了一口泡菜。 “嗯，”她说，但她说的时候颤抖了一下。 比恩用了另一种方法。 她咬下一大块泡菜，然后塞了一些香蕉进去。 “嗯，”她咽了口气说。 艾薇又咬了一口泡菜，她的脸皱了起来。 “我想我开始有不正常的想法了，”比恩说。 她深吸了一口气

and ate half a banana. "Puppapiginnere," said Ivy, which meant, Put a pickle in there. Her mouth was full. Bean took a little bite of pickle. "Buh," she said. Ivy's mom came into the kitchen. "What are you eating?" she asked. "Pigglenana," said Ivy, shivering. She swallowed hard.

吃了半个香蕉。“Puppapiginnere，”艾薇说，意思是放个泡菜进去。 她嘴里塞满了东西。豆豆咬了一小口泡菜。 “嗯，”她说。艾薇的妈妈走进厨房。 “你在吃什么？”她问。 “小猪。”艾薇颤抖着说。 她使劲吞咽。
