13. Sold!

SOLD! 13 "Got IT!" Sam exclaimed as he finally grasped the money jar. The instant Sam had the jar in his hands, the rushing river of paint began to dry up. "The paint's starting to separate!" Antonio shouted.

出售!13“明白了！”萨姆终于抓住了钱罐，大声喊道。 山姆一拿到罐子，奔流的颜料河就开始干涸。 “油漆开始分离了！”安东尼奥喊道。

Globs of paint leapt up onto the wall and back into their paintings. Blank canvases were full of color again! The hall monitors bumped across the dry floor and bounced to a stop.

一块块的颜料跳到墙上，又回到他们的画里。 空白的画布又充满了色彩！大厅里的监视器在干燥的地板上颠簸着，反弹着停了下来。

The paint had been a raging river— and then it was a trickling stream— and then it was nothing at all. Sam cradled the jar. "We've got to get to the auditorium!" Lucy said. They jumped to their feet and sped down the halls. They were out of breath when they finally burst through the auditorium doors. Sam saw Ms. Winter holding Orson Eerie's self- portrait. She asked, "Which lucky buyer will go home with this?" "We will!" Sam shouted. "We have one hundred dollars to buy the painting!" The audience gasped.

那油漆本来是一条汹涌的河流——后来变成了一条涓涓细流——然后就什么也没有了。 萨姆抱着罐子。“我们得去礼堂！”露西说。 他们一跃而起，飞快地穿过大厅。 当他们终于冲进礼堂的门时，上气不接下气。 山姆看见温特女士拿着奥森·怪诞的自画像。 她问：“哪个幸运的买家会把这个带回家？”“我们将!”萨姆喊道。 “我们有一百美元买这幅画！”观众倒吸了一口气。

"SOLD!" Ms. Winter announced. "This painting now belongs to our hall monitors, Sam, Lucy, and Antonio! It's wonderful seeing our students' love of art!" Sam, Lucy, and Antonio hurried toward the stage. Change rattled as they climbed the steps. "How will you three decide whose house to hang the painting in?" Ms. Winter asked.

“卖!”温特宣布。 “这幅画现在属于我们的大厅监控器，萨姆、露西和安东尼奥！”看到我们的学生对艺术的热爱真是太棒了！”萨姆、露西和安东尼奥匆匆走向舞台。 他们爬上台阶时，变化嘎嘎作响。 “你们三个怎么决定把画挂在谁的房子里呢？”Ms。 冬天问道。

"We're going to keep it at school," Sam said. "So everyone can see and enjoy it." Once they gave Ms. Winter the money jar, the painting would be theirs. As Sam held out the jar, a scream came from the audience! Then another! And another! Everyone was jumping up and pointing at the floor. "What's happening?!" Ms. Winter cried.

“我们要把它留在学校，”萨姆说。 “这样每个人都能看到并享受它。” 一旦他们把钱罐给了温特女士，这幅画就是他们的了。 山姆把罐子拿出来的时候，观众们发出了尖叫！然后另一个!和另一个!每个人都跳起来，指着地板。 “发生什么事情了? !”温特女士哭了。

Sam saw wet clay oozing up everywhere. It pushed through cracks in the floorboards. Just then, Sam spotted his clay dinosaur sculpture near them on the stage. It looked wet again, and it looked like it was melting! It was seeping through the stage— and at the same time, clay was rising up through the auditorium floor!

萨姆看到湿粘土到处渗出来。 它从地板的裂缝里钻了出来。 就在这时，山姆在舞台上他们旁边发现了他的粘土恐龙雕塑。 它看起来又湿了，看起来好像在融化！它渗进了舞台——与此同时，粘土从礼堂的地板上升起！
