CHAPTER 2 THE FRIDAY SURPRISE On Friday morning, Miss Maxwell called everyone to the carpet. "I want to tell you about our big surprise!" she said. "Is it apple pie?' asked Jake. "No, peach pie!" said Emma. "My papa makes the best peach pie ever," said Neela.

第二章星期五的惊喜星期五早晨，麦克斯韦尔小姐把大家叫到地毯上。 “我想告诉你我们的大惊喜！”她说。 “是苹果派吗？”杰克问。 “不，是桃子派！”艾玛说。 “我爸爸做的桃子派是最好吃的。”尼拉说。

"I still hope it's ice cream," whispered Zeke. Fergus nodded. "Or cheese." But the surprise wasn't any of those things. Instead, Miss Maxwell had circled a date on the calendar. "Next week, we will take a class field trip to Coleman Family Farm," she said. "This is a special trip because you will get to do lots of things. You'll get to help out with the farm animals and pick apples. You'll even get to choose a pumpkin to take home!" "Cool!" said Will. "I want to collect chicken eggs!" "I want to feed the goats!" said Neela. "I want to milk a cow!" said Lucy.

“我还是希望是冰淇淋，”齐克低声说。 费格斯点了点头。”或奶酪。” 但令人惊讶的不是这些。 相反，麦克斯韦尔小姐在日历上圈出了一个日期。 “下周，我们全班将去科尔曼家庭农场进行实地考察，”她说。 “这是一次特殊的旅行，因为你可以做很多事情。 你可以帮忙照顾农场里的动物，摘苹果。 你甚至可以选择一个南瓜带回家！”“酷！”威尔说。 “我想收集鸡蛋！”“我想喂山羊！”尼拉说。 “我想挤牛奶！”露茜说。

Fergus and Zeke were excited. They wanted to do all those things, too! So on the morning of the field trip, they sneaked into Emmas backpack. They rode the school bus, squished between a math book and a banana, all the way down the bumpy dirt road to the farm. When everyone got off the bus, Fergus and Zeke peeked out. "Welcome to the farm!" said a woman in overalls. "We grow lots of different vegetables here. We also have cows, pigs, goats, chickens, beehives, and an apple orchard. My name is Molly. I'm excited to show you around!"

费格斯和齐克很兴奋。 他们也想做所有这些事情！所以在实地考察的那天早上，他们偷偷溜进了艾玛的背包。 他们挤在数学书和香蕉中间，坐着校车，一路沿着崎岖不平的土路去农场。 当大家都下了车，费格斯和齐克偷偷往外看。 “欢迎来到农场！”一个穿工作服的女人说。 “我们在这里种植了很多不同的蔬菜。 我们还有牛、猪、山羊、鸡、蜂箱和一个苹果园。 我叫莫莉。我很高兴带你四处看看！”
