They arrived at the fair at a quarter to one. The whole field was packed with great ways to have fun. A big hot dog stand! Toffee apples to try! There were donkeys to pet! And a coconut shy!

他们十二点四十五分来到了集市。 整片场地挤得满满当当，全是好玩的项目。 一个超大的热狗摊！ 还有可以品尝的太妃糖苹果！ 有可以摸的小毛驴！ 还有掷椰子小游戏！

A policeman was letting the kids try his hat! 'Ooh, Squish!' Ava whispered. 'Just look at THAT!' 'Candy floss! Yum!' Watch the man make it twizzle!' ...But the candy floss flopped when it started to drizzle.

一个警察叔叔正让小朋友们试戴他的帽子呢！ “哇，小软！”艾娃小声说。 “快看那个呀！” “棉花糖！太好吃啦！” “快看那个叔叔把棉花糖转得团团转呀！” ……可天开始下毛毛雨，棉花糖一下就塌软了。

Mummy dashed under an oak tree for shelter, But Squishy had spotted the big helter skelter! 'Please, Daddy!' whined Ava. 'Look! There's no queue!' Dad groaned, but then came a voice Ava knew:

妈妈赶紧冲到一棵橡树底下躲雨， 可小软早就盯上了那个巨大的螺旋滑梯！ “爸爸拜托啦！”艾娃撒娇道。 “你看！都没人排队呀！” 爸爸叹了口气，就在这时艾娃听到了一个熟悉的声音：

'I'll take you! I just need to check I have cash...' 'Hooray!' Ava shouted. She squeeeezed Auntie Tash, Then gasped as she set eyes on Tash's wheelbarrow. Inside was a HUGE... no, a GINORMOUS marrow! 'The Giant Veg Contest,' Tash said with a grin. 'It's my biggest one yet!' Do you think I might win?' 'Oh YES!' Ava said. 'And I hope Squish will too, 'In his Prettiest Pet Competition debut!'

“我带你去！我先看看我带没带现金哦……” “耶！”艾娃大喊道。 她使劲抱了抱塔什阿姨， 接着她看到塔什阿姨的手推车，一下就愣住了。 里面放着一个超大……不对，是无敌巨无霸西葫芦！ “这是参加巨型蔬菜大赛的哦，”塔什阿姨笑着说。 “这是我种过的最大的一个啦！” “你们觉得我能赢吗？” “肯定能呀！”艾娃说。 “我也希望小软能赢哦，” “这可是它第一次参加“最可爱宠物大赛”呢！”

'He's BOUND to win, poppet!' Auntie Tash cried. 'Now, let's go and have a quick turn on that slide.' Wheeeeee! Off they went! They whizzed round and round! They twisted and turned as they sped to the ground,

“它肯定能赢的，小宝贝！”塔什阿姨大声说。 “走，我们先去那个滑梯上玩一圈吧。” 哇——呀！ 他们滑出去啦！ 他们转了一圈又一圈！ 他们扭来扭去，飞快地朝着地面滑去，
