CHAPTER NINE Awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga! Titus was about to start his morning exercises. 'Oooooh! Aaaargh! Ow! Yikes!' he yelped, as he bent down to tie his shoelaces on his trainers. Then he started to stretch this way and that, making a 'hrnnnnnng' noise every time he moved. 'For Pete's sake, will you keep it down?' moaned Frank, who was wearing sunglasses and sipping his morning coffee. But Titus began doing star jumps, yelping with every jump. 'This is so stressful,' sighed Frank. 'Please stop exercising, Titus. It's bad for my health.' Out of the corner of his owlish eye, Frank noticed something small and furry rolling towards the caravan. When it reached them, it unfurled itself and Frank saw that it was, in fact, Willow. He swooped down and perched on the long wooden picnic table outside the caravan.

第九章呜嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎嘎！提多正要开始晨练。 “哇!Aaaargh !噢!呵!他叫道，一边弯下腰把鞋带系在运动鞋上。 然后他开始东伸西伸，每次移动都发出“hrnnnnnn”的声音。 “看在老天的份上，你能不能小点声？”弗兰克呻吟道，他戴着墨镜，喝着早晨的咖啡。 但提图斯开始做星星跳跃，每跳一次就叫一声。 “压力太大了，”弗兰克叹了口气。 “请不要再锻炼了，提多。 这对我的健康不好。”从他那猫头鹰般的眼角，弗兰克注意到一个毛茸茸的小东西正向大篷车滚来。 当它来到他们身边时，它展开了自己，弗兰克一看，原来是柳树。 他俯冲下来，坐在大篷车外面的长木桌上。

'Can I have some coffee, Frank?' asked Willow. 'No,' said Frank. 'You're too young. Also, since when did bunnies like coffee?' 'I don't actually,' said Willow, wrinkling her adorable nose. 'Just thought I might try something new. I'm having an identity crisis, you see.' 'Are you now?' said Frank. 'What does that mean?' Willow sat at the table. She picked up Titus's leftover toast crusts and dipped them in to a small pot of jam before chewing them thoughtfully for a while. 'I'm just not sure who I am,' she said eventually. 'When I'm hanging out here with you guys, or with Ted, I'm Willow. But when I'm at home with my mum and my 374 brothers and sisters, I feel like a different kind of Willow.' 'Hnnnnnngh!' said Titus, who was trying to do some press- ups. 'Sorry Willow, I am listening, I promise. It's just terribly hard moving these old bones of mine. Huuuurgh!' Frank drained his coffee cup and poured himself another. 'Well,' he said eventually. 'Maybe the answer is that it's absolutely fine to be both Willows?' 'Yeah, but what if there's a secret THIRD Willow?' said Willow. 'Who's an amazing crime-fighting genius? Or brilliant at playing the bassoon? What if I'm actually meant to be best friends with a giraffe called Errol who lives three hundred miles away?!' And she tugged at her ears in frustration. Frank patted Willow on the head, which she hated, but allowed on this occasion because she knew he was being nice.

“我能喝点咖啡吗，弗兰克？”威罗问。 “不，”弗兰克说。“你太年轻了。 还有，兔子什么时候开始喜欢咖啡了？“其实我不知道，”威洛皱着她可爱的鼻子说。 “我只是想试试新东西。 你看，我有身份危机。“是吗？”弗兰克说。 “这是什么意思？”威洛坐在桌旁。 她拿起提图斯剩下的烤面包皮，把它们蘸到一小罐果酱里，然后沉思地嚼了一会儿。 “我只是不确定我是谁，”她最后说。 “当我和你们在一起的时候，或者和泰德在一起的时候，我叫威洛。 但是当我和妈妈以及我的374个兄弟姐妹在家里时，我觉得自己像一个不同的柳树。“Hnnnnnngh !提图斯说，他正在做一些俯卧撑。 “对不起，威洛，我在听，我保证。 只是搬我这些老骨头太难了。 Huuuurgh !”弗兰克喝干了咖啡杯，又给自己倒了一杯。 “嗯，”他最后说。 “也许答案是，同时做两个柳树都没问题？”“是的，但是如果还有第三棵神秘的柳树呢？”威罗说。 “谁是了不起的打击犯罪的天才？” 或者擅长演奏巴松管？ 如果我真的要和住在三百英里外的一只叫埃罗尔的长颈鹿成为最好的朋友呢？！”她沮丧地拽着耳朵。 弗兰克拍了拍威洛的头，这是她讨厌的，但这次她允许了，因为她知道他是出于好意。

'Listen, just focus on what you have. You've already got a best friend,' said Frank. 'He lives here in Grimwood and his name is Ted.' Willow looked floopily at her toast crusts. 'We had a big fight,' she said quietly. 'About nothing, really. It was stupid.' Titus crawled up from the ground and eased himself onto the bench, huffing and puffing from all the exercise. 'Well, why don't you just say sorry to Ted,' he said, reaching over for more buttery toast. 'He's a sensitive soul. He'll want to be friends again.' Willow picked up the pot of jam and licked it clean. 'You're right!' she said, perking up. 'It was a silly old fight about nothing. I'll say sorry to him RIGHT NOW.' Titus smiled. 'Excellent news, young bunny, excellent news.'

听着，专注于你所拥有的。 “你已经有了一个最好的朋友，”弗兰克说。 “他住在格里姆伍德，他的名字叫泰德。”威洛无精打采地看着她的烤面包皮。 “我们大吵了一架，”她平静地说。 “没什么事，真的。这太愚蠢了。”提图斯从地上爬起来，慢慢地坐到长凳上，因为所有的锻炼而喘着粗气。 “好吧，你为什么不向泰德道歉呢？”他说，伸手去拿更多的黄油吐司。 “他是个敏感的人。他会想重新做朋友的。”威洛拿起那罐果酱，把它舔干净。 “你是对的!她说，精神起来了。 “那是一场毫无意义的愚蠢的老争吵。 我现在就向他道歉。”提图斯笑了。 “好消息，小兔子，好消息。”

Willow boinged over to the Grimwood Players' Theatre as it was time for another dance session. Anoushka was already warming up. 'Hey, like, little bunny,' she said, calling Willow over. 'Where's your friend?' Willow looked around at the various animals stretching or jogging on the spot but couldn't see Ted anywhere. 'He's not here yet,' frowned Willow. 'But he will be soon! What are we doing today then?' Anoushka looked serious. 'We're going to be learning an ancient magical crow dance,' she said. 'Wicked!' said Willow. 'I was kinda hoping you'd say that,' said Anoushka. 'Because your party crow friend needs two dancers to nail it for her. And they have to be friends, or whatever. So that's you guys, right?' Willow saluted.

威洛蹦蹦跳跳地来到格里姆伍德演员剧院，又到了跳舞的时间了。 阿努什卡已经开始热身了。 “嘿，小兔子，”她说着，把威洛叫过来。 “你的朋友呢？”威洛环顾四周，看到各种各样的动物在原地伸展或慢跑，但却找不到特德。 “他还没来。” “但他很快就会回来的！”那么我们今天做什么呢？”阿努什卡神色严肃。 “我们要学习一种古老的神奇乌鸦舞，”她说。 “邪恶的!威罗说。“我正希望你这么说呢，”阿努什卡说。 因为你在派对上的乌鸦朋友需要两个舞者来帮她搞定。 他们必须是朋友之类的。 这就是你们，对吧？”柳树敬礼。

'Right! Anything that helps Sharon is fine by me,' said Willow. 'Me and Ted are fast learners. Oh, he'll be well excited when we tell him! Can I tell him, please can I tell him?' Anoushka nodded and sipped some dingleberry tea. A squirrel flew through the air and collided with a tree trunk. 'They just can't help themselves,' said Willow, shaking her head. Just then, she spotted Ted sauntering over. He looked… different. His fur was slicked back, and he was wearing sunglasses and what looked like Nancy's battered old leather jacket. 'Um, hi Ted!' said Willow, who had bounded over to him immediately. 'Cool shades!' Ted glanced over at Willow.

“正确!“任何对莎伦有帮助的事我都可以，”威洛说。 “我和泰德学得很快。 哦，等我们告诉他，他会很兴奋的！我能告诉他吗，我能告诉他吗？”阿努什卡点了点头，抿了一口甜莓茶。 一只松鼠飞过天空，与树干相撞。 “他们就是控制不住自己，”威洛摇着头说。 就在这时，她看见泰德慢悠悠地走过来。 他看起来……不一样了。他的皮毛向后梳得很光滑，戴着墨镜，穿着一件看起来像南希那件破旧的皮夹克。 “嗯，嗨，泰德！”威洛说，她立刻跳了过去。 “酷的墨镜!”泰德瞥了威洛一眼。

'Thanks,' he mumbled, not really looking at her. 'So, um, I've been thinking,' said Willow. 'I wanted to say sorry for shouting and everything. I was being a right wally.' Ted looked up at Willow and shrugged. 'Sure,' he said. 'Whatever. It's, like, cool.' 'Great!' said Willow, and she gave Ted a massive squeeze. But instead of hugging her back, Ted just stood there until she stopped. And then he walked off. Willow blinked in confusion a few times, and then her ears drooped. 'T… Ted?' she said. She had wanted to tell him all about learning the special dance for Sharon. But Ted was now high

“谢谢。”他喃喃地说，并没有看她。 “所以，嗯，我一直在想，”威罗说。 “我想为我的大喊大叫说声抱歉。 我是在耍滑头。”泰德抬头看着威洛，耸了耸肩。 “当然，”他说。”等等。 感觉很酷。“太好了!威罗说着紧紧地挤了泰德一下。 但泰德没有拥抱她，而是站在那里，直到她停下来。 然后他走开了。威洛困惑地眨了几下眼睛，然后她的耳朵垂了下来。 ' T…泰德?她说。她本想告诉他关于为莎伦学习这支特殊舞蹈的一切。 但是泰德现在嗨了
