CHAPTER ONE A MAGIC SPELL One day, when Mollie and Peter were playing with Binky in the playroom, they heard footsteps running down the garden. 'Quick! Hide, Binky! There is someone coming!' cried Mollie.

第一章魔咒一天，莫丽和彼得正在游戏室里和宾基玩，他们听到花园里有脚步声跑下来。 “快!隐藏的!有人来了！莫丽叫道。

The pixie always hid when any one was about. He ran to a cupboard and got inside. Peter shut the door just as Mother came into the playroom. 'Children!' she said, 'I've lost my ring! I must have dropped it in the garden somewhere. Please look for it and see if you can find it.' Peter and Mollie were upset. They knew that their mother was very fond of her

当有人在附近时，小精灵总是躲起来。 他跑到一个橱柜前，钻了进去。 妈妈走进游戏室时，彼得把门关上了。 “孩子!她说，“我的戒指丢了！”我一定是把它掉在花园里的什么地方了。 请找找看能不能找到。”彼得和莫丽很不高兴。 他们知道他们的母亲非常喜欢她

best ring. It was a very pretty one, set with diamonds and rubies. They ran out into the garden and began to hunt- but no matter where they looked, they could see no sign of any ring! 'Let's go and ask Binky to help,' said Mollie. So they ran back to the playroom. Binky was sitting reading. They told him how they had hunted for the ring.

最好的戒指。这是一个非常漂亮的戒指，镶着钻石和红宝石。 他们跑到花园里开始寻找——但无论他们往哪里看，他们都看不到任何戒指的迹象！“我们去找宾基帮忙吧，”莫丽说。 于是他们跑回了游戏室。 Binky正坐着看书。 他们告诉他他们是如何寻找那枚戒指的。

'I'll soon find out if it's in the garden,' he said, shutting his book. 'Is your mother certain she dropped it there?' 'Quite certain,' said Peter. 'How are you going to find out where it is, Binky?' 'You'll see in a minute!' said the pixie with a grin. He went to the door of the playroom and looked round. There was no one about. He whistled softly, a strange little twittering tune. A freckled thrush flew down to his hand and stood on his outstretched fingers. 'Listen, Freckles,' said Binky. 'There is a ring lost in this garden. Get all the birds together and tell them to hunt for it.' Freckles gave a chirrup and flew off. In a few minutes all the birds in the garden were gathered together in a thick lilac bush.

“我很快就会知道它是不是在花园里，”他合上书说。 “你妈妈确定她把它丢在那儿了吗？”“当然可以。”彼得说。 “你怎么知道它在哪儿，宾奇？”“你马上就知道了！”小精灵笑着说。 他走到游戏室门口，环顾四周。 周围一个人也没有。他轻轻地吹着口哨，那是一种奇怪的、叽叽喳喳的小调。 一只长雀斑的画眉飞到他的手上，停在他伸出的手指上。 “听着，小雀斑，”宾基说。 “花园里丢了一只戒指。 把所有的鸟集合起来，叫它们去找它。”小雀斑咯咯地笑了一声，就飞走了。 几分钟后，花园里所有的鸟都聚集在一丛茂密的丁香丛中。
