2 Ted goes a-windering and a-wandering

CHAPTER TWO Ted goes a-windering and a-wandering Ted chuckled to himself as he pranced through the woods. There hadn't been a dull moment since he and Nancy had moved to Grimwood. If he wasn't saving injured squirrels, he was helping Titus make Crazyhorns Power Juice, going for bumpy car rides with Wiggy or starring in shows with Ingrid's theatre group, the Grimwood Players. He was a very happy little fox, but (and be warned, because this is quite a big BUT) he wished he knew where his mum and dad were. They had left Ted and Nancy all alone as little cubs, in a park in the Big City. Ted didn't know why. Nancy had looked after him ever since. And even though the cubs had settled in Grimwood, Ted still wrote letters to their parents and posted them back to their old den in the Big City. Just in case. Dear Mum and Dad

泰德在树林里跳来跳去，一边咯咯地笑着。 自从他和南希搬到格里姆伍德以来，从来没有过一段无聊的时光。 如果他不去救受伤的松鼠，他就会帮提图斯制作疯狂牛角果汁，和威基一起去颠簸的汽车上兜风，或者和英格丽德的剧团格里姆伍德剧团一起主演演出。 他是一只非常快乐的小狐狸，但是（要注意，因为这是一个很大的“但是”）他希望他知道他的妈妈和爸爸在哪里。 他们把泰德和南希独自留在了大城市的一个公园里。 泰德不知道为什么。从那以后，南希一直照顾他。 即使小熊们已经在格里姆伍德定居下来，泰德仍然给他们的父母写信，并把它们寄回他们在大城市的旧巢穴。 以防万一。亲爱的爸爸妈妈

Nancy is getting SO GOOD at treebonk! Frank reckons she is 'a natural'. Oh, and do you remember the mayor, Titus? Well, I've been helping him with his new recipe for Crazyhorns Power Juice. It's got nettles in, and it tastes disgusting, so I might chuck in some lemonade when he's not looking. Willow is still my very best friend. These are our latest hobbies: 1. Doing dance routines 2. Making daisy chains 3. Running around laughing Ingrid the duck is really grumpy at the moment because Pamela accidentally blew up her stage. Remember Pamela? The weird eagle who's always blowing stuff up? Anyway, it means no more rehearsals for our theatre group, the Grimwood Players. BOO! I miss you both loads. Nancy doesn't say it much, but I know she misses you too. I am so tall now that I reach her armpit. I wish you could see. It would be nice to know what you look

南希越来越擅长爬树了！弗兰克认为她是“天生的”。 你还记得市长提图斯吗？ 我一直在帮他做疯狂牛角能量果汁的新配方。 里面有荨麻，味道很恶心，所以我可能会趁他不注意的时候倒点柠檬水。 薇洛仍然是我最好的朋友。 这些是我们最近的爱好： 做舞蹈动作。制作雏菊花环。 因为帕梅拉不小心炸毁了她的舞台，鸭子英格丽德现在真的很生气。 还记得帕梅拉?那只老是炸东西的怪鹰？ 总之，这意味着我们的剧团，格里姆伍德剧团，不能再排练了。 嘘!我非常想念你们俩。 南希虽然不多说，但我知道她也很想你。 我现在高得够到她的腋窝了。 我希望你能看到。我很想知道你的长相

like, too. And maybe have some cuddles! (When nobody is looking Nancy lets me cuddle her, which is nice.) Anyway, I have to go because Willow wants us to look for pebbles that look like faces. I have drawn another map in case you want to find us. I love you Ted xx When Ted arrived at the Small Pond, Ingrid was sitting on top of a very dizzy squirrel on an island in the middle of the murky water. The rumour was that in the olden days, when Ingrid was a mere child of a duck,* she had been a glamorous movie star. 'It is entirely true!' she would quack if anyone asked her about it. 'You don't believe me? HOW DARE YOU!' Then she would thwack them with her handbag, to show how annoyed she was.

也喜欢,。也许还可以拥抱一下！（没人看的时候，南希让我抱她，这很好。）好了，我得走了薇罗要我们去找像脸的鹅卵石。 我又画了一张地图，以防你找我们。 当特德到达小池塘时，英格丽德正坐在浑浊的水中央的一个岛上一只头晕的松鼠身上。 有传言说，在过去，当英格丽德还是一只鸭子的孩子时，她已经是一个迷人的电影明星了。 “这完全是真的！”如果有人问起这件事，她会嘎嘎地叫。 “你不相信我？”你怎么敢！”然后她会用手提包猛击他们，以示她有多生气。

'Tell the owl to keep his ridiculous tree-bonkers under control!' shrieked Ingrid, flapping her wings in annoyance. 'This squirrel landed on my nest while I was putting on my eye make-up and NOW LOOK AT ME.' 'Sorry, Ingrid,' said Ted, expertly hopping from one shopping trolley to another until he reached them. He lifted Ginger by the tail, shoved an orange slice in her mouth and

“告诉猫头鹰管好他那可笑的树痴！”英格丽德尖叫着，恼怒地拍打着翅膀。 “这只松鼠在我化妆的时候落在了我的窝上，现在看看我。“对不起，英格丽德。”泰德说，熟练地从一个购物车跳到另一个购物车，直到走到他们跟前。 他抓住金格的尾巴，把一片橘子塞进她嘴里，然后

plopped her into his rucksack. 'I can't wait for the Grimwood Players to start meeting again! When do rehearsals begin?' Ingrid sighed dramatically and brought an elegant wing to her brow. 'Darlink, I just cannot find the va-va-voom to carry on. Not since the destruction of our beautiful theatre. SOB!' 'I'm sure we can build a new theatre, Ingrid,' said Ted brightly. But Ingrid just sighed. 'I've lost my inspiration,' she said. 'And what good is an actor without inspiration? What is a duck without her quack? Oh! I despair, how I despaaaaaaaair.' And she snapped on a silk eye mask and waddled back to her boudoir. 'Bye then!' said Ted. He bounded through the forest with Ginger safely tucked inside his rucksack, sniffing the slightly eggy smell that sometimes wafted through the air and hopping over some discarded tyres. Soon, he found himself in Bunnyville, which was a village full of cows. Not really, it was full of bunnies, don't be silly. There were hundreds of them boinging about all over the place. 'Hi, Ted!' said about fifty of them at the same time. 'Hiya!' said Ted. He noticed a big pile of grey squishy mattresses. The bunnies were climbing high up into the branches of an extremely tall pine tree and leaping off like it was a massive diving board… before BOINGING onto the mattresses. It looked like great fun. 'A hoomin must have just dumped them here,' squeaked Tyler, who Ted recognized as one of Willow's 147 brothers.

把她塞进他的背包。 “我等不及格里姆伍德的玩家们再次见面了！”排练什么时候开始？”英格丽德戏剧性地叹了口气，优雅地扬起眉毛。 “亲爱的林克，我只是找不到继续工作的空间。 自从我们美丽的剧院被毁后就没有了。 呜咽!“我相信我们可以建一座新剧院，英格丽德。”泰德兴高采烈地说。 但英格丽只是叹了口气。“我失去了灵感，”她说。 “没有灵感的演员有什么用？” 没有呱呱叫的鸭子算什么？ 哦!我绝望了，我多么绝望啊！”她啪的一声戴上真丝眼罩，摇摇摆摆地回到了自己的闺房。 “再见!泰德说。他把金格安全地塞进背包里，在森林里蹦蹦跳跳，嗅着空气中偶尔飘来的微微鸡蛋味，跳过一些废弃的轮胎。 很快，他发现自己来到了Bunnyville，这是一个满是奶牛的村庄。 不全是，里面全是兔子，别傻了。 成百上千的人到处乱蹦乱跳。 “嗨,泰德!大约有五十个人同时说。 “你好!泰德说。他注意到一大堆灰色的软绵绵的床垫。 兔子们爬到一棵非常高的松树的树枝上，然后像跳到一个巨大的跳水板一样跳下来，然后撞到床垫上。 看起来很有趣。“一定是有人把它们丢在这里了。”泰勒尖声说，泰德认出他是威洛的147个兄弟之一。

'It's brilliant!' Tyler hitched up his shorts, wiped his nose on his paw and scampered back up the tree. Ted chuckled to himself and carried on through Grimwood. But as the trees crowded around him, he started to feel just a tiny bit… well, not scared, exactly. Things just looked darker all of a sudden. And, apart from the dozy squirrel in his rucksack, Ted suddenly felt a little bit too alone. So, he started to sing a song to himself, which was a very Ted thing to do. Just hoppin' through the forest It's a nice and friendly place Nuthin's gonna get me Or try and bite my face The trees are nice and branchy

它的辉煌!泰勒拉起短裤，用爪子擦了擦鼻子，然后跑回树上。 泰德咯咯地笑着，继续穿过格里姆伍德。 但当树木簇拥在他身边时，他开始感到一点点……嗯，确切地说，不是害怕。 事情突然变得更糟了。 除了背包里那只打瞌睡的松鼠，泰德突然觉得有点太孤单了。 于是，他开始给自己唱歌，这是一件非常泰德式的事情。 在森林里跳来跳去这是一个很友好的地方没有什么能抓住我也没有什么能咬我的脸这些树很漂亮，枝叶茂盛
