4 Wedding

CHAPTER FOUR Wedding The next day it was the grand squirrel wedding, and everyone was FREAKING OUT with excitement. The whole place was buzzing. Well, almost. Some places, like Titus's caravan, were suspiciously quiet. Wiggy the badger was rapping on the door. 'Titus!' he shouted. 'Wakey, wakey! It's the middle of the afternoon and we need to get ready for the big event, my old spoon!' Wiggy pressed his ear to the door. He heard some snorting and shuffling about. Titus finally opened the door, wearing a dressing gown and fluffy slippers. He had curlers in his antlers and was peeling cucumber slices from his eyes.

第二天，松鼠举行了盛大的婚礼，每个人都兴奋得不得了。 整个地方都在嗡嗡作响。 嗯,差不多。有些地方，比如提图斯的商队，出奇地安静。 獾威吉在敲门。 “提多!他喊道。“醒来吧,醒来吧!现在是下午三点左右，我们得为这个大事件做准备了，我的老勺子！”威吉把耳朵贴在门上。 他听到有人在哼鼻子，拖着脚走来走去。 提图斯终于打开了门，穿着晨衣和毛茸茸的拖鞋。 他的鹿角上有卷发，正在从眼睛上剥黄瓜片。

'Oh, Wiggster,' he sighed. 'I'm so sorry. I must have nodded off again. I always do when I'm having a spa session.' 'Not to worry,' chuckled Wiggy, adjusting his jacket and bow tie. 'Everyone is SO excited. A Twinklenuts bride and a Grimwood groom!' Thirty seconds later, Titus clambered out of the caravan with a top hat balanced between his antlers. He and Wiggy

“哦，威格斯特。”他叹了口气。 “我很抱歉。我一定又睡着了。 我每次做水疗的时候都会这么做。“别担心。”威吉咯咯地笑着，整理着他的夹克和领结。 “每个人都很兴奋。一个闪闪发亮的新娘和一个格里姆伍德的新郎！”30秒后，提图斯从大篷车里爬了出来，两只鹿角之间夹着一顶大礼帽。 他和威格

carefully carried the grand wedding cake to the back of Wiggy's Jeep. There was a strange noise. 'MPFFFPFPFPFPF!' 'What was that?' asked Titus, craning his neck around the cake. 'I didn't say anything, old pal,' said Wiggy. 'Careful now… down she goes… perfect.' The strange noise happened again. 'MPFGPGPFPFPF!' 'There, did you hear it?' said Titus, frowning. Wiggy nodded. 'How peculiar,' he said. The friends looked behind them. There was nobody there. Wiggy peered under the Jeep. There was nobody there. Titus lifted up his top hat. There was nobody there. Wiggy shrugged, and the friends got into the car. The wedding cake was behind them on the flatbed.

小心翼翼地把盛大的婚礼蛋糕搬到维吉的吉普车后面。 有一种奇怪的声音。 “MPFFFPFPFPFPF !“那是什么？”提图斯伸长脖子围着蛋糕问。 “我什么也没说，老朋友。”威吉说。 “小心点……她下去了……太棒了。”那奇怪的声音又出现了。 “MPFGPGPFPFPF !“喂，你听见了吗？”提图斯皱着眉头说。 Wiggy点点头。“真奇怪，”他说。 朋友们回头看了看。 那里一个人也没有。威格在吉普车底下偷看。 那里一个人也没有。提图斯举起他的大礼帽。 那里一个人也没有。威格耸耸肩，朋友们上了车。 婚礼蛋糕在他们身后的平板车上。

'MGGGFNNNFFGG! NNNMMMMMFFFGG!' said the wedding cake. Which was weird because wedding cakes can't talk. There was a clearing in the middle of Grimwood often used for treebonk matches, or performances from the Grimwood Players, a theatre group run by Ingrid. Today, it was being used for the wedding. Log benches had been arranged in rows, and some beavers in dungarees were building a small stage. A duck with a clipboard was running around looking VERY stressed. Her name was Tamara, and she was Ingrid's assistant. 'Where are the candles in jars?' she quacked into a phone. 'I need candles in jars! I need flowers! Where is the buffet! Where's the wedding DJ? AAAAAAAAARGH!' Meanwhile, Anoushka Wispy, a beautiful hare from Twinklenuts, was tuning her harp. In Twinklenuts– and now Grimwood– she was well known for being a pop star, fashion icon and author of a book called Don't Stress! Just Be Pretty Like Me. She had written a song especially for the occasion. A choir of mice dressed in white cassocks were doing vocal warm-ups. A cassock is a kind of long coat, don't you know. Hallelujah! 'Hey, furry friends, you're like, so adorable,' said Anoushka, her voice as delicate and pretty as a wildflower.

“MGGGFNNNFFGG !NNNMMMMMFFFGG !结婚蛋糕说。 这很奇怪，因为婚礼蛋糕不会说话。 格里姆伍德的中央有一块空地，经常用来进行树桩比赛，或者由英格丽德经营的剧团“格里姆伍德剧团”表演。 今天，它被用来举行婚礼。 木凳排成一排，一些穿着粗布工装的海狸正在搭一个小舞台。 一只拿着剪贴板的鸭子四处乱跑，看起来非常紧张。 她叫塔玛拉，是英格丽德的助手。 “罐子里的蜡烛在哪里？”她对着电话呱呱地说。 “我需要装在罐子里的蜡烛！”我需要花！自助餐在哪里？婚礼DJ在哪里？ AAAAAAAAARGH !”这时，来自Twinklenuts的一只美丽的兔子Anoushka Wispy正在调音她的竖琴。 在Twinklenuts和现在的格里姆伍德，她以流行歌星、时尚偶像和《不要紧张！》只要像我一样漂亮。 她专门为这个场合写了一首歌。 一群穿着白色袈裟的老鼠正在做声乐热身。 袈裟是一种长外套，你不知道吗？ 阿利路亚!“嘿，毛茸茸的朋友们，你们太可爱了，”阿努什卡说，她的声音像野花一样娇嫩美丽。

'But, like, please try not to mess up the song this time, OK? Cos you're all, like, a bit rubbish at singing. Hahaha, sorry! Oh, I love you guys.' 'Sure, Anoushka!' said the mouse choir. Ingrid was perched upon a large velvet cushion. She was wearing her grandest turban. 'I do hope I don't upstage the bride,' she said. 'That would be awful. Charles, darlink! Tell me– and you must tell me the absolute truth– am I simply too beautiful to be seen in public today?' Sir Charles Fotheringay, who had been scattering rose petals, stopped to gaze at his wife. 'My darling,' he said. 'You are a divine feathery queen! The bride will seethe with envy.' Ingrid nodded with satisfaction and put on more eyeshadow. Suddenly, the sky grew dark. A loud cry filled the air. GROOM COMING THROUGH!' Romeo, who was indeed the groom, treebonked his way into the clearing, followed by a dozen more squirrels. They all landed with a thud on the small stage. 'That was your last treebonk sesh as a free squirrel, Romeo!' cried one of the squirrels, raising his paw to the air. Romeo stood up and dusted down his morning suit. 'Aw,' he said. 'I can't wait to be married, bruv. Juliet's the squirrel for me! I knew it from the moment I saw her hide all

“但是，这次请不要把这首歌搞砸了，好吗？” 因为你们唱歌都很烂。 哈哈哈,对不起!哦，我爱你们。“没问题，阿努什卡！”老鼠唱诗班说。 英格丽德坐在一个大天鹅绒靠垫上。 她戴着她最华丽的头巾。 她说：“我真希望我不会抢新娘的风头。” “那太可怕了。查尔斯,darlink !告诉我——你必须告诉我绝对的真相——我今天是不是太漂亮了，不适合在公共场合露面？”正在撒玫瑰花瓣的查尔斯·福瑟林盖爵士停下来凝视着他的妻子。 “亲爱的，”他说。“你是一位神圣的羽毛女王！”新娘会嫉妒的。”英格丽满意地点了点头，又涂了些眼影。 突然，天空变暗了。 空中充满了一声大叫。 马夫走过来了！”罗密欧确实是新郎，他吃力地走到空地上，后面跟着十几只松鼠。 他们都砰的一声落在小舞台上。 “那是你作为一只自由的松鼠在树上的最后一次邂逅，罗密欧！”一只松鼠叫道，把爪子举到空中。 罗密欧站了起来，掸去了晨装上的灰尘。 “啊，”他说。“我等不及要结婚了，兄弟。 朱丽叶是我的松鼠！从我看到她把一切都藏起来的那一刻起我就知道了

those nuts in her cheeks. I'm SO IN LURVE!' And he danced a little jig of joy. 'Urgh,' said Nancy, and she pretended to be sick. 'I think true love is just WONDERFUL!' gushed Ted. 'I think it's weedy and boring,' said Willow, and she blew a raspberry at Romeo for no sensible reason. Soon, all the benches were full. Titus and Wiggy had arrived and placed the grand wedding cake at the centre of a long table, which was groaning with mountains of delicious food. 'Mmmm, BUFFET TIME later,' said Willow, dribbling at the sight of all the snacks. Ted waved at some of his pals from Twinklenuts, who were taking their seats. He spotted Dr Khan, Crusty McTavish, Mo and Reena, who, like Nancy, was a star treebonker.

她脸颊上的蛋蛋。我坠入爱河了！”他高兴地跳起了吉格舞。 “呃，”南希说，她假装生病了。 “我觉得真爱太美妙了！”泰德滔滔不绝地说。 “我觉得它又杂草又无聊，”威洛说着，莫名其妙地朝罗密欧吹了个冷笑。 很快，所有的长凳都坐满了。 提图斯和维吉已经到了，他们把盛大的婚礼蛋糕放在一张长桌的中央，桌上摆满了堆积如山的美味食物。 “嗯，过会儿再吃自助餐。”威洛说，看到那么多零食，她口水直流。 泰德向他在Twinklenuts店里的几个朋友挥手，他们正在落座。 他看到了可汗博士、克鲁斯蒂·麦克塔维什、莫和莉娜，她和南希一样，是一位明星树痴。
