10 IN THE HAUNTED BATHROOM

IN THE HAUNTED BATHROOM The second grade ate its lunch faster than ever before. Dusit choked on his sandwich and almost threw up, but then Eric hit him on the back After that he was fine... Ivy couldn't eat her lunch at all. Bean only ate her cookies. Soon, all of the second grade and some of the first grade gathered around the play structure. They stared at Ivy and Bean and the jar of blue potion in Ivy's hand. The two girls started toward the haunted

在闹鬼的浴室里二年级的学生吃午饭的速度比以往任何时候都快。 杜西特被三明治噎住了，差点吐出来，但后来埃里克打了他的背，之后他就没事了…… 艾薇根本吃不下午餐。 比恩只吃她的饼干。 很快，所有二年级的学生和一些一年级的学生都聚集在游戏结构周围。 他们盯着艾薇、比恩和艾薇手里的那瓶蓝色药水。 两个女孩朝闹鬼的地方走去

bathroom. About twenty kids followed along to watch. When they got to the breezeway where the bathroom was, everyone sat down on the benches along the sides. Bean started to feel a little sweaty. She tried to think about Ms. Aruba-Tate saying that the bathroom wasn't haunted. But she kept thinking about an army of ghosts. There was the portal. There was the bathroom door. It was just her and Ivy. And Leo. "Leo's going in the girls' bathroom!" hollered Eric from the bench. "Leo's a girl!" yelled Dusit. Leo gave a little jump and said, "I'm not going in, you goons. I'm keeping watch." Turning to Ivy and Bean, he said, "If the Yard Duty comes, I'll throw the ball at the door."

浴室。大约二十个孩子跟在后面观看。 当他们来到浴室所在的走廊时，每个人都在两边的长凳上坐了下来。 比恩开始觉得有点冒汗。 她试着去想她。 阿鲁巴·塔特说浴室没有闹鬼。 但她一直在想一群鬼。 那就是传送门。那是浴室的门。 只有她和艾薇。和狮子座。 “里奥要去女厕所！”埃里克在长凳上喊道。 “里奥是个女孩！” 里奥吓了一跳，说：“我不进去，你们这些笨蛋。 我在放哨。”他转身对艾薇和比恩说：“如果院子看守来了，我就把球扔到门上。”

They nodded. Ivy took a deep breath, reached out, and pushed the door open. Together, Ivy and Bean entered the bathroom. Inside was dim and quiet. Bean noticed that it smelled better than it usually did. "Do you feel it?" said Ivy, looking around.

他们点了点头。艾薇深吸了一口气，伸手推开门。 艾薇和比恩一起走进浴室。 里面昏暗而安静。比恩注意到它比平时闻起来好多了。 “你感觉到了吗？”艾薇环顾四周说。

Nothing happened. After a moment, Bean stopped feeling sweaty. She was glad there wasn't an army, but she wanted to see one ghost at least. She squinted and then popped her eyes out. There. "Yes," she said. "And I see the mist." A thin cloud was just fading in the corner. They stood still. "Do you hear something?" Bean whispered. It was a smooth, sighing sound. It sounded as if it was coming from very far away. "I hear it," Ivy whispered. That was a little spooky. Bean began to feel sweaty again. "We'd better start chanting," Ivy breathed. Noise would help. "Yeah," said Bean. "We come in peace," she whispered. "We come in peace!" said Ivy loudly. She raised her hands to the ceiling and fluttered her fingers down. Bean fluttered her fingers, too. "Oh,

什么也没有发生。过了一会儿，比恩不再觉得出汗了。 她很高兴没有军队，但她至少想看到一个鬼魂。 她眯起眼睛，然后突然把眼睛伸出来。 在那里。“是的，”她说。“我看见雾了。” 角落里一片薄云正在消散。 他们站着不动。“你听到什么声音了吗？”豆低声说。 那是一种平稳的叹息声。 那声音听起来好像是从很远的地方传来的。 “我听到了，”艾薇低声说。 这有点吓人。比恩又开始出汗了。 “我们最好开始念诵。”艾薇低声说。 噪音会有所帮助。“是的，”比恩说。 “我们为和平而来，”她低声说。 “我们为和平而来！”艾薇大声说。 她把手举到天花板上，手指向下挥动。 比恩也挥动着手指。 “哦,

ghost friend! Haunt our school no more!" Her voice was louder now. "Lie peacefully under our school!" wailed Ivy. That was better. The bathroom wasn't spooky anymore. She began to turn in circles, waving her hands. Now Bean whirled around, too, shouting, "Take our respectful greeting and fly away!" This was getting fun. "Farewell!" shrieked Ivy, spinning faster and faster. "Return to your resting place, and we will honor you forever!" She jumped a few times. "Begone!" "Leave the bathroom of Emerson School!" screamed Bean. She did a few high kicks. "Leave the bathroom of Emerson School!" screamed Ivy, jumping and whirling. She banged into one of the stall doors. "Ow!" Bean was still spinning. The bathroom

鬼的朋友!别再在我们学校出没了！”她的声音现在更大了。 “安静地躺在我们学校下面！”艾薇哀号道。 这样好多了。浴室不再令人毛骨悚然了。 她开始转着圈，挥舞着双手。 这时比恩也转过身来，喊道：“带着我们的问候飞走吧！”这变得越来越有趣了。 “永别了！”艾薇尖叫着，转得越来越快。 “回到你安息的地方去吧，我们将永远尊敬你！”她跳了几次。 “走开!”“离开爱默生学校的浴室！”比恩尖叫道。 她做了几个高踢腿。“离开爱默生学校的浴室！”艾薇尖叫着，跳着，旋转着。 她砰地一声撞在隔间的一扇门上。 “噢!”豆子还在旋转。 浴室

zoomed around her. Whew. She stopped and held onto a stall. "Can we do the potion now?" she asked. Ivy unscrewed the lid of the jar and crouched down. The bathroom grew quiet. "Ghost, begone," she murmured and poured a line of potion in front of the door. She crawled around the edges of the bathroom, pouring. "Begone," Bean chanted softly. Ivy stuck her hand in something wet. "Oh, yuck," she said. The bathroom was very quiet now. Peaceful. Three stalls down, one to go. It took a lot of concentration to pour evenly. Ivy made sure that she got every corner. The bright blue potion gleamed on the tile, and Ivy stopped under the paper towel dispenser to look at her work. It was pretty. She looked up. No mist. No sighing noise. The bathroom looked normal, except for

在她身边盘旋。唷。她停下来，抓住一个摊位。 “我们现在可以喝药水了吗？”她问。 艾薇拧开瓶盖，蹲了下来。 浴室里静了下来。“白灵，滚开。”她低声说着，在门前倒了一排魔药。 她在浴室边缘爬来爬去，一边倒着水。 “滚开。”比恩轻声念道。 艾薇把手伸进什么湿东西里。 “哦，讨厌，”她说。浴室里现在很安静。 和平的。三个隔间过去了，还剩一个。 倒得很均匀需要很大的浓度。 艾薇确保她得到了每个角落。 亮蓝色的药水在瓷砖上闪闪发光，艾薇在纸巾分发器下停下来看她的工作。 它很漂亮。她抬起头来。 没有雾。没有叹息声。 浴室看起来很正常，除了
