Chapter 8

Chapter 8 "I never! I never!" said the shrew. "Worst storm ever!" All the animals talked about dangerous storms they had lived through. "Ah! Pleasant conversation," Taylor murmured. He offered his friends warm slices of nut cake. "Your burrow is quite lovely," said the bat. Taylor smiled. "Thank you for that sincere compliment." He poured steaming cups of hot chocolate for each of them.

第八章“我决不！我从来没有！” “史上最恶劣的风暴！”所有的动物都在谈论他们经历过的危险的风暴。 “啊!愉快的谈话。”泰勒喃喃地说。 他请朋友们吃热乎乎的坚果蛋糕。 “你的洞穴很可爱，”蝙蝠说。 泰勒笑了。“谢谢你真诚的赞美。” 他给他们每人倒了几杯热气腾腾的热巧克力。

"And I would like to give you this delicious map of the Whole Wide World," said the rabbit. "Please forgive the nibbling." "Thank you!" said Taylor. "I accept your gift of friendship!" He was so pleased that he didn't hear the water gurgling below.

“我想给你这张美味的世界地图，”兔子说。 “请原谅我咬你一口。” “谢谢你！”泰勒说。“我接受你作为友谊的礼物！”他太高兴了，没有听到下面的潺潺流水声。

"Who? What!" shouted the shrew, leaping to the chandelier. "What! Who?" The animals all looked down. Water was seeping into the burrow. And it was rising fast.

“谁?什么！”鼩鼱喊道，跳向枝形吊灯。 “什么!谁?”动物们都往下看。 水正渗进洞里。 而且上升得很快。
