11 THE PANCAKE FLIPS

THE PANCAKE FLIPS They wrote The Flipping Pancake until it was time for Ivy to go home for dinner. The next day after school, they rushed home to finish it. By the time they were done, Bean's kitchen table was covered with paper, pencils, scis-sors, erasers, glue sticks, and mess-ups. In the middle of the table was one perfect copy of The Flipping Pancake.

他们一直写着《翻转的煎饼》，直到艾薇回家吃晚饭的时候。 第二天放学后，他们冲回家去完成它。 当他们做完的时候，比恩的厨房桌子上堆满了纸、铅笔、剪刀、橡皮擦、胶棒和乱七八糟的东西。 桌子中间放着一本完美的《煎饼》。

Ivy and Bean looked at it admiringly. It was beautiful. At the top, Bean had drawn a pancake with little lines coming out of it to show that it was jumping in the air. Around the pancake, she had written in her best printing The Fliping Pancake. So what if she had forgotten the other P? It still looked great.

艾薇和比恩羡慕地看着它。 它是美丽的。在顶部，比恩画了一个煎饼，上面有一些小线条，表明它在空中跳跃。 在煎饼周围，她用她最好的印刷体写着“翻动的煎饼”。 如果她忘记了另一个P呢？ 它看起来仍然很棒。

Below the title was the first story, the one about the rats and salami in Mr. Columbi's house. Ivy had decided it was mean to say he was dirty, so she had called it "Mr. Columbi's Secret." After that came Guess the Naked Baby. They had pasted the picture of Crummy Matt to the paper. There he was, drooling and smiling on a white rug, his rear end waving in the air. Ivy and Bean had almost stopped laughing about it by now. But not quite. Bean had drawn a picture of Sophie's mom with her hair in a bag and blue goo on her face. Beneath it, she had written, "Mrs. W. is up to something!" That was really all she could say, since she didn't know what Sophie's mom was doing.

标题下面是第一个故事，是关于科伦比先生家里的老鼠和腊肠的故事。 艾薇认为说他脏是卑鄙的，所以她叫他“先生”。 Columbi的秘密。”之后是《猜裸娃》。 他们把邋遢马特的照片贴在了报纸上。 他就在那儿，躺在一张白色的地毯上，流口水，微笑着，屁股在空中挥舞着。 艾薇和比恩几乎不再嘲笑这件事了。 但也不完全如此。比恩画了一幅苏菲妈妈的画，她的头发装在袋子里，脸上粘着蓝色的浆糊。 在它的下面，她写了几个字：“Mrs。 w在搞什么鬼！”她真的只能说这些，因为她不知道苏菲的妈妈在做什么。

Together Ivy and Bean had written the exciting story about the fire at Trevor and Ruby's. In fact, they made it a little more exciting than it really had been. They said the entire backyard burst into flames. They also said that Ruby had saved Trevor's life by running over flames to get the hose. "People like to read exciting stories," Bean said. Down at the very bottom of the page, Ivy had written about Ball Control. She said that

艾薇和比恩一起写了关于特雷弗和鲁比家失火的激动人心的故事。 事实上，他们让它变得比原来更令人兴奋。 他们说整个后院都着火了。 他们还说，鲁比跑过火焰去拿水管，救了特雷弗的命。 “人们喜欢读激动人心的故事，”比恩说。 在这一页的最下面，艾薇写了关于控球的内容。 她说

they were famous for "Lizard Hurricane," and if you wanted to drown out a loud noise, you could ask them over to your house for a party. The story looked a little skimpy, so she also wrote that there were no bad words in their songs. She said that a lot of the other music that Jake the Teenager listened to had bad words in it. She put down the first letter of the really amazingly bad word they had heard. Then she drew an arrow and wrote, "Not in Ball Control songs!" There had been just enough room to squeeze in a weather report down at the bottom. Bean had drawn a picture of the sun. "Wow," said Ivy. "I can't believe we made such a great paper. It looks so real." "We could get famous for this," said Bean. "I mean"—she picked up the paper—"not many kids could do a whole newspaper all by themselves." Ivy nodded. "Let's copy it on my mom's copier," she said. "Do you think we should give a copy to Sophie W.'s mom, even if she didn't

他们因为“蜥蜴飓风”而出名，如果你想要掩盖噪音，你可以邀请他们来你家开派对。 这个故事看起来有点露骨，所以她还写道，他们的歌里没有脏话。 她说少年杰克听的很多其他音乐里都有脏话。 她写下了他们听到的那个非常糟糕的词的第一个字母。 然后她画了一个箭头，写道：“不在球控的歌里！”底部刚好有足够的空间塞进一份天气预报。 比恩画了一幅太阳的画。 “哇，”艾薇说。“我不敢相信我们写了一篇这么棒的论文。 它看起来很真实。”“我们可以因此出名，”比恩说。 “我的意思是，”——她拿起报纸——“没有几个孩子能自己完成一整份报纸。” 艾薇点点头。“我们用我妈妈的复印机复印一下吧，”她说。 “你觉得我们应该送一份给苏菲？他的妈妈，即使她没有
