Chapter 9

Chapter 9 A frog popped out of the water. "The river has broken free!" he shouted. "The valley is flooded! You better head for higher ground-unless you can swim!" And then he disappeared.

第9章一只青蛙从水里跳出来。 “河水决口了！”他喊道。 “山谷被淹了！”你最好往高处走——除非你会游泳！”然后他就消失了。

"I can't swim! I can't swim!" shouted Taylor, as the water reached his waist. In an instant, he curled up in a tight ball and began bobbing on the surface of the rising water.

“我不会游泳！”我不会游泳！”泰勒喊道，这时水已经到了他的腰部。 刹那间，他紧紧地蜷成一团，开始在上升的水面上上下浮动。

Sydney raced to open the burrow door, but something outside was blocking it. There was no way out. He hurried down the stairs to scoop Taylor out of the water. Then he swam to the other animals.

西德尼跑去打开地洞的门，但外面有什么东西挡住了门。 没有出路。他急忙跑下楼梯，把泰勒从水里捞了出来。 然后他游向其他动物。

"We're doomed!" screeched the bat, flying about the room. "I don't want to die!" cried the shrew. "My birthday is next week!" The water had nearly reached the chandelier. Soon they would all be underwater.

“我们完了！”蝙蝠尖叫着，在房间里飞来飞去。 “我不想死！”鼩鼱叫道。 “我的生日是下星期！”水几乎到了枝形吊灯。 很快他们就会全部沉入水下。
