CHAPTER 3 A STORY IN ONE HUNDRED WORDS The next morning, the class had writing workshop. "Today we will write stories to get ready for the one hundredth day of school, Miss Maxwell said. "Each story should be exactly one hundred words long."

第三章一百字的故事第二天早上，这个班有一个写作工作坊。 “今天我们要写故事，为开学第一百天做准备，”麦克斯韦尔小姐说。 “每个故事的长度应该是一百字。”

Fergus and Zeke loved stories. They couldn't wait for sharing time to see what the children wrote. Will's story was about a boy who had a pet dragon. One day, his dragon ran away. The boy had to search all over the kingdom to find him. Lucy's story was about a funny bear who couldn't find his shoes. He looked for them everywhere. At the end, it turned out he was wearing them the whole time! Emma stood up and read her story next. "Once upon a time there was an amazing astronaut named Emma..." Fergus and Zeke sat on their wood chips and listened. The story was very exciting.

费格斯和齐克都喜欢听故事。 他们迫不及待地想要分享时间，看看孩子们写了什么。 威尔的故事讲的是一个男孩养了一条宠物龙。 有一天，他的龙跑了。 男孩找遍了整个王国才找到他。 露西的故事是关于一只找不到鞋子的有趣的熊。 他到处找他们。 最后发现他一直都戴着它们！艾玛站起来，接着读她的故事。 “从前，有一个了不起的宇航员，名叫艾玛……” 费格斯和齐克坐在他们的木屑上听着。 这个故事很激动人心。

Emma the astronaut got trapped in outer space! Her rocket was broken, and she was all alone. at the end, she came up with a plan to get home just in time. "The end," Emma read, and closed her notebook. "That was exactly one hundred words," Fergus said. He had been keeping count. "Zeke, we should write a one-hundred-word story, too. That could be our special project for the one hundredth day of school." "Great idea!" Zeke said. "I will write the words, and you can draw the pictures. It will be the best story ever." Fergus and Zeke gathered their writing and art supplies and set to work.

宇航员艾玛被困在外太空了！她的火箭坏了，她孤身一人。 最后，她想出了一个及时回家的计划。 “结束了。”艾玛念着，合上了笔记本。 “整整一百个字。”费格斯说。 他一直在数。 “齐克，我们也应该写一篇一百字的故事。 这可能是我们开学第100天的特别项目。” “好主意!”齐克说。“我来写单词，你来画画。 这将是有史以来最好的故事。” 费格斯和齐克收集了他们的写作和美术用品，开始工作。
