2 Big and Small

CHAPTER 2 BiG AND SMALL Lola tugged the string off her tooth and grabbed a piece of paper. "Aren't we pulling out your teeth?" asked Max. "New plan, said Lola, drawing as fast as she could. "I don't need the tooth fairy anymore. I am going to become a fairy?

第二章 大与小 萝拉拽下牙齿上的线，抓过一张纸。 “我们不是要拔你的牙吗？”麦克斯问。 “新计划。”萝拉一边说，一边飞快地画着。 “我再也不需要牙仙子了。 我要自己当仙子！

Max frowned. Fairies are very small. You're too big to be a fairy, Lola." "Maybe," said Lola. "But probably not." She already had a fairy crown and fairy wings and a pair of sparkly shoes that used to fit. Now she just needed to work out how to be a little smaller. Her sparkly shoes were very small. So small that Mum had said Lola shouldn't wear them anymore... Maybe they could show her feet how to be smaller?

麦克斯皱起了眉。 仙子都很小的。 萝拉，你个子太大了，当不了仙子。” “也许吧。”萝拉说。 “但也说不定呀。” 她已经有仙子王冠、仙子翅膀，还有一双以前合脚的闪片鞋。 现在她只需要想办法让自己变小一点。 她的闪片鞋特别小。 小到妈妈都说萝拉不能再穿了…… 说不定鞋子能教她的脚怎么变小呢？

She was going to be a rich fairy in no time! Lola was skipping to her bedroom when Dad came into the lounge room. "I'm going for a run," said Dad. "Mum's cooking dinner. I hope it's clean in here when I come back." "I hope so, too," said Lola. It was a nice thing to hope for. She waved goodbye to Dad. She had a pair of sparkly shoes to find!

她马上就能变成个有钱的仙子啦！ 萝拉正蹦蹦跳跳往卧室走，爸爸走进了客厅。 “我出去跑步。”爸爸说。 “妈妈在做晚饭。 我希望我回来的时候这里干干净净的。” “我也希望呀。”萝拉说。 这可是个美好的愿望。 她朝爸爸挥手告别。 她得去找那双闪片鞋啦！

In her bedroom, Lola pulled out her fairy wings and her fairy crown, and everything in her drawers. Until she found... Her sparkly shoes! Lola used to wear her sparkly shoes everywhere, until Mum had said they were getting too small. Lola grinned. The shoes were very good at being small. They could definitely show her feet how to be small again!

进了卧室，萝拉把仙子翅膀、仙子王冠，还有抽屉里所有东西都掏了出来。 直到她找到了…… 她的闪片鞋！ 以前萝拉去哪儿都穿着这双闪片鞋，直到妈妈说鞋子太小穿不下了。 萝拉咧嘴笑了。 这双鞋最擅长变小了。 它们肯定能重新教她的脚变小！

Lola pushed her left foot into the left shoe, then her right foot into the right shoe. Her toes pinched, like they were shrinking, and when Lola looked down... Her feet looked tiny. Yes! It was working already. Now she just needed more small things to make the rest of her small.

萝拉把左脚塞进左边的鞋子，又把右脚塞进右边的鞋子。 她的脚趾挤得慌，好像正在缩小，等萝拉低头一看…… 她的脚看起来小小的。 太棒啦！ 这办法已经起效了。 现在她只需要找更多小小的东西，让身体剩下的部分也变小。

Lola looked in her cupboard, but everything was too big. Everything in Emma's and Max's rooms was too big, too. And so was everything in Mum and Dad's room.

萝拉看了看自己的橱柜，里面所有东西都太大了。 艾玛和麦克斯房间里的所有东西也都很大。 爸爸妈妈房间里的所有东西也一样大。
