8 GUESS THE NAKED BABY

GUESS THE NAKED BABY

我猜赤裸的婴儿

They figured that Mr. Columbi wouldn't mind if they borrowed his box. After all, he was fast asleep. Why would he need a box? They carried it over to Dino and Crummy Matt's house and set it against the wall where they thought the kitchen was. They wanted to see how much food Crummy Matt ate. "Think how big he is," Ivy said. "I bet he eats twenty pounds of food a day." "I bet their shelves are breaking," said Bean. "I bet they have two refrigerators." "Two refrigerators is news for sure," said Bean, climbing onto the box. Luckily, the kitchen window wasn't very far off the ground. Unluckily, the box fell over when she stood on it. "Ow, ow, OW!" Bean yelled, rolling around in the dirt. "Shh!" whispered Ivy. "They'll hear us!" She sat on top of Bean and covered her mouth with her hand.

他们认为科伦比先生不会介意他们借用他的盒子。 毕竟，他睡得很熟。 他为什么需要盒子？他们把它带到迪诺和可怜的马特家，把它靠在他们认为是厨房的墙上。 他们想看看邋遢的马特吃了多少食物。 “想想它有多大，”艾薇说。 “我敢打赌他一天要吃20磅的食物。” 比恩说：“我敢打赌他们的书架都要坏了。” “我打赌他们有两台冰箱。” “两台冰箱肯定是个新闻，”比恩爬上盒子说。 幸运的是，厨房的窗户离地面不远。 不幸的是，当她站在盒子上时，它倒了。 “嗷，嗷，嗷！”比恩喊道，在泥土里打滚。 “嘘！”艾薇小声说。“他们会听到我们的！”她坐在比恩身上，用手捂住嘴。

"MMMMMMM!" Bean yelled inside Ivy's hand. Suddenly Dino's head poked out the kitchen window. "Whatcha doing?" he asked. "Bean fell off the box," Ivy explained. "Look at my elbow!" yelled Bean. There was blood. Not much. But some. Dino looked at the box. "Were you looking in our window?" he asked. "Yes!" said Bean. She kicked the box. Ivy nudged her warningly, but it was too late. "Why were you looking in our window?" asked Dino. Bean and Ivy glanced at each other. Should they lie? No, and Bean couldn't think of one anyway. She sighed. "We're making a newspaper." "We thought your kitchen would make a great story," said Ivy. Dino looked at her slitty-eyed. "Why?" Ivy cleared her throat. How could she say

“MMMMMMM !”比恩在艾薇的手里喊道。 突然，迪诺的头从厨房的窗户探了出来。 “你在干什么？”他问。 “豆子从盒子上掉下来了，”艾薇解释说。 “看我的胳膊肘！”比恩喊道。 有血。并不多。 但是一些。迪诺看着盒子。 “你刚才在看我们的窗户吗？”他问。 “是的！”比恩说。她踢了踢箱子。 艾薇用胳膊肘警告她，但已经太晚了。 “你为什么往我们的窗户里看？”迪诺问。 比恩和艾薇互相瞥了一眼。 他们应该撒谎吗？没有，而且比恩也想不出一个。 她叹了口气。“我们在做报纸。” “我们觉得你的厨房会是一个很棒的故事，”艾薇说。 迪诺看着她眯缝着的眼睛。 “为什么?”艾薇清了清嗓子。 她怎么能说

this politely? "Because of Matt." "What about him?" said Dino suspiciously. "Um. You know. How big he is." Ivy made a circle with her arms. "What?" Dino looked confused. "We were going to write a story about how much food he eats," said Bean. "We thought it might be interesting. That's why we wanted to look in your kitchen."

这礼貌吗?“因为马特。” “他怎么了？”迪诺怀疑地问。 “嗯。你知道的。他有多大啊。” 艾薇用胳膊围了一个圈。 “什么?”迪诺看起来很困惑。 “我们打算写一个关于他吃多少食物的故事，”比恩说。 “我们认为这可能很有趣。 这就是为什么我们想看看你的厨房。”

"It's not interesting," said Dino. "Matt's big because he's a mutant." "Bummer," Ivy said. "We thought he must eat a lot," said Bean. "Well, he doesn't. He's boring. He's a boring mutant doofus." Ivy and Bean looked at each other and shook their heads. "No story." They stood. "I guess we should try Sophie's house," said Bean. She was discouraged. "Wait!" called Dino. They looked up at him. He was smiling. "I've got a great story for you." "What?" "It's a picture, really. Does your newspaper have pictures?" Bean shrugged. "Sure. Pictures are good." Anything that filled up paper was good. Dino laughed. "I'll go upstairs and get it. It's on my mom's dresser."

“这没什么意思，”迪诺说。 “马特很大，因为他是变种人。” “笨蛋，”艾薇说。“我们以为他一定吃得很多，”比恩说。 “嗯，他没有。他很无聊。 他是个无聊的变种笨蛋。” 艾薇和比恩面面相觑，摇了摇头。 “不”的故事。他们站在那里。“我想我们应该去苏菲家看看。”比恩说。 她很沮丧。“等等！”迪诺叫道。 他们抬头看着他。他在微笑。 “我有一个很棒的故事要告诉你。” “什么?”“这是一幅画，真的。 你们的报纸上有图片吗？”豆耸耸肩。 “当然。照片很好。” 任何能填满纸的东西都是好的。 恐龙笑了。“我上楼去拿。 它在我妈妈的梳妆台上。”
