Chapter 10

Chapter 10 "It's Miss Nancy!" Taylor shouted. "I can hear her digging with a shovel!" A minute later, something long and thin poked through their ceiling near the blocked door. "Quick, everyone!" shouted Sydney.

第十章“是南希小姐！”泰勒喊道。 “我能听到她用铲子挖土的声音！”一分钟后，一个又长又细的东西从他们封死的门附近的天花板钻了出来。 “大家快点儿！”西德尼喊道。

All five friends worked together to pull the hose down the stairs and into the burrow.

五个朋友一起把水管拉下楼梯，拉进洞里。

Suddenly, a loud motor roared outside. Rumble, rumble. The motor made a terrible noise. Gulp, gulp, gulp. The water started to go down.

突然，外面传来一声巨大的马达声。 隆隆声,隆隆作响。马达发出可怕的噪音。 喝，喝，喝。水开始下降了。

The animals worked and worked, pulling the hose deeper and deeper into the burrow. Twice they had to grab the shrew by the tail to save her from being sucked up by the hose.

动物们干啊干啊，把水管往洞里越拉越深。 有两次他们不得不抓住鼩鼱的尾巴，以免它被水管吸走。

When the rain finally stopped, the burrow was dry. Sloop! The hose disappeared. They could hear Miss Nancy's boots tromping back to her house.

雨终于停了，洞里干了。 单桅帆船!软管不见了。 他们能听到南希小姐的靴子踏着沉重的脚步声回到家里。

Exhausted, the animals curled up together to take a nap.

精疲力竭的动物们蜷缩在一起打了个盹。
