2 The Wrong Day!

2 The Wrong Day! "What do you mean?" Violet asked her friend. "I thought your party was tomorrow." "No, it's today," Brittany told her. "I've been talking about the party all day." "Yeah, but I thought you were just excited for tomorrow," Violet explained. Brittany sighed. "Everyone was supposed to come right after school. It says so right on the invitation."

2错误的日子！“你是什么意思？”维奥莱特问她的朋友。 “我以为你的聚会是明天。” “不，是今天，”布列塔尼告诉她。 “我一整天都在谈论这个派对。” “是的，但我以为你只是对明天感到兴奋，”维奥莱特解释说。 布列塔尼叹了口气。“每个人都应该一放学就来。 请柬上就这么说了。”

Violet took out the invitation again. She blinked. Now the invitation said Tuesday. But I was sure it said Wednesday! she thought. That's weird! "Brittany, I'm so sorry," Violet said. "We'll get there right away." Violet hung up and spun around. "Dad! Brittany's birthday party is right now! I got the date totally mixed up. Can you drive me and Leon to her house?" Her dad strummed the guitar. "You got it!" he sang.

维奥莱特又拿出请柬。 她眨了眨眼睛。现在邀请函上写着周二。 但我确定上面写的是星期三！她想。 这是奇怪的!“布列塔尼，我很抱歉，”维奥莱特说。 “我们马上就到。” 维奥莱特挂了电话，转过身来。 “爸爸!布列塔尼的生日派对马上就要开始了！我把日期搞混了。 你能开车送我和利昂去她家吗？”她爸爸弹着吉他。 “你赢了！”他唱道。

Violet thought fast. She ran outside and told Leon about the mistake. Then she went back inside and found her present for Brittany. She scrambled around the kitchen, looking for the wrapping paper, scissors, and tape. Leon came into the kitchen, carrying his present in a gift bag. His eyes lit up. "Is that a Dancing Dolphin Waterfall?"

维奥莱特想得很快。她跑出去告诉李昂这个错误。 然后她回到屋里，找到了给布列塔尼的礼物。 她在厨房里爬来爬去，寻找包装纸、剪刀和胶带。 李昂走进厨房，手里拿着装在礼物袋里的礼物。 他的眼睛亮了起来。“那是跳舞的海豚瀑布吗？”

Violet nodded as she wrapped the gift. "Yes! When you press a button, it lights up and the waterfall turns on. Then dolphins dance up and down. Brittany is going to love it!" Mr. Briggs joined them. "Are you two ready to go?" Violet stuck a bow on the box. "Yup!" They hurried outside, and Violet and Leon got into the back seat of the Briggs' car. As Violet's dad started the engine, she remembered something. "Wait, where's Sprite?" she whispered to Leon. Sprite poked his head out of Violet's hoodie pocket. "Right here! I can't wait for the party!"

维奥莱特一边包礼物一边点了点头。 “是啊!当你按下按钮时，它就会亮起来，瀑布就会打开。 然后海豚跳上跳下。 布列塔尼会喜欢的！”布里格斯先生也加入了他们。 “你们俩准备好出发了吗？”维奥莱特在盒子上打了个蝴蝶结。 “是的!”他们匆匆出门，维奥莉特和利昂坐进了布里格斯汽车的后座。 维奥莱特的爸爸发动引擎时，她想起了一件事。 “等等，雪碧呢？”她小声对利昂说。 雪碧从维奥莱特的卫衣口袋里探出头来。 “在这里!我都等不及派对了！”
