10 Bad Manners

10 Bad Manners On Saturday morning, Violet couldn't wait to trick the pixies. "I hope this works," Violet told Sprite and Leon as they set up the picnic blanket. "Fixit and Rusella are out of control!" Violet examined the blanket, pleased. It was set with normal cups, plates, and bowls for Violet and Leon. There were tiny cups and plates for Sprite, Fixit, and Rusella. Each fairy plate held a little hunk of cheese.

星期六早上，维奥莱特迫不及待地想捉弄小精灵。 “我希望这能起作用，”维奥莱特在雪碧和里昂搭起野餐毯时对他们说。 “Fixit和Rusella失控了！”维奥莱特检查了一下毯子，很高兴。 里面放着普通的杯子、盘子和碗，是给维奥莉特和里昂用的。 小杯子和盘子里装着雪碧、菲克特和鲁斯乐。 每个仙女盘子里都有一小块奶酪。

In the middle was the fairy pie. And a bowl of Beastie Bites breakfast cereal—Sprite's favorite human food.

中间是仙女派。 再来一碗野兽咬早餐麦片——雪碧最喜欢的人类食物。

Sprite licked his lips. "I haven't seen a meal this yummy since I was in the Otherworld!" he said. "It looks like the perfect trap to me," Leon remarked.

雪碧舔了舔他的嘴唇。“自从我来到另一个世界以来，我还没见过这么美味的饭菜！”他说。 “在我看来，这是个完美的陷阱，”利昂说。

Just then, Violet's mom walked out into the yard. She carried a crock of steaming soup. Sprite quickly hid inside a cup. "Here's your alphabet soup," Mrs. Briggs said. She put the soup on the blanket. Then she ruffled Leon's hair. "I think it's so cute that you and Violet are having a little tea party." Leon's cheeks turned red. He looked like he wanted to sink into the ground. Violet looked at the small clock she kept in her bag of fairy tools. It was almost noon. "Thanks, Mom," Violet said. "Uh, we need to start now."

就在这时，维奥莱特的妈妈走到院子里。 她端着一罐热气腾腾的汤。 雪碧迅速地藏在一个杯子里。 “这是你的字母汤，”布里格斯太太说。 她把汤放在毯子上。 然后她揉了揉莱昂的头发。 “我觉得你和维奥莱特开个小茶话会太可爱了” 李昂的脸颊变红了。他看起来好像想沉入地下。 维奥莱特看着她放在仙女工具袋里的小时钟。 快到中午了。“谢谢，妈妈，”维奥莱特说。 “嗯，我们现在就要开始了。”

"Of course," Mrs. Briggs said. "I'll leave you alone." Violet and Leon waited for something to happen. They did not have to wait long. Poof! Rusella appeared. "Hi," Violet said, trying to sound natural. "We're just waiting for Fixit." "Fairy rules say I have to eat lunch with you," Rusella said. "They don't say I have to wait. Let's eat!"

“当然，”布里格斯太太说。 “我不打扰你了。”维奥莱特和里昂等着发生什么事。 他们没有等太久。 噗!Rusella出现了。“嗨，”维奥莱特说，尽量让自己听起来自然一些。 “我们只是在等Fixit。” “精灵规则说我必须和你一起吃午饭，”鲁塞拉说。 “他们没有说我必须等待。 让我们吃吧!”

Rusella dove right into the food. She picked up a tiny plate and ate the hunk of cheese. Then she picked up the other plates and ate that cheese, too. "Hey!" Sprite said. Next, Rusella picked up the rose-petal pie. She gobbled down the whole thing.

Rusella一头扎进了食物里。 她拿起一个小盘子，吃了一大块奶酪。 然后她拿起其他盘子，把奶酪也吃了。 “嘿!”精灵说。接下来，卢塞拉拿起了玫瑰花瓣派。 她狼吞虎咽地把整个东西都吃光了。
