11. Something Big

11 SOMETHING BIG For the next two days, Sam and Antonio trained before school, during recess, and after school. Lucy now thought both of her best friends were losing their minds. She wouldn't believe a word they said. Sometimes Mr. Nekobi poked his head in to check on Sam, but the old man didn't do much else. Sam understood that Mr. Nekobi was weak. Now it was Sam's job to protect the school. While Sam was walking home alone on Thursday, Mr. Nekobi's words echoed in his head: "The school is planning something big..."

接下来的两天，萨姆和安东尼奥在课间休息和放学后都在训练。 露西现在觉得她的两个好朋友都疯了。 他们说的话她一个字也不相信。 有时，内科比先生会探出头来看看山姆的情况，但这位老人并没有做太多其他的事情。 山姆知道奈科比先生很软弱。 现在是山姆的工作来保护学校。 周四，当山姆独自走在回家的路上时，内科比的话在他脑海中回响：“学校正在策划一件大事……”

What could the school— Sam's thoughts were interrupted by the feeling of cold fingers on his back. "Eek!" Sam shrieked. He spun around. "Lucy! You scared me!" "Did you think it was the school trying to eat you?" Lucy teased. "I don't know what you and Antonio have been doing the past three days, but you'd better be ready for tomorrow." "What's tomorrow?" Sam asked. Lucy rolled her eyes. Then she shoved a crumpled-up piece of paper into Sam's hands. Friday night 7:00 pm at Eerie Elementary Ms. Grinkeris 3rd grade class presents Peter Pan Students, parents, and teachers are welcome! As Sam read the words, his heart began to pound. It all made sense. Sam knew exactly when the school would strike!

学校能做什么？——萨姆的思想被冰冷的手指在他背上的感觉打断了。 “呀!”山姆尖叫起来。他转过身来。 “露西!你吓到我了！”“你以为是学校想要吃掉你吗？”露西嘲笑。 “我不知道你和安东尼奥在过去的三天里做了什么，但你最好为明天做好准备。” “明天是什么?”山姆问。 露西翻了个白眼。然后她把一张揉皱的纸塞到萨姆手里。 周五晚上7点在怪诞小学。 欢迎各位同学、家长和老师光临！当萨姆读到这些字时，他的心开始怦怦直跳。 这一切都说得通。萨姆很清楚学校什么时候会罢工！
