4 Bounding About

4 Bounding About Wednesday At breakfast today, we had only one thing to talk about: the jackalope family! I wish we knew why they might have to leave. There must be good reasons.

4 活蹦乱跳的星期三 今天吃早餐的时候，我们满脑子都在聊一件事：鹿角兔一家！ 我真想知道他们为什么非得离开呀。 肯定是有很重要的原因吧。

Well, maybe we can't welcome the whole family to Sparklegrove yet, but we can welcome Bounder! You're right, Bo! Let's show him around the forest! Yes! Today might be our only chance. So we all trotted to the castle.

哎呀，也许我们现在还不能欢迎鹿角兔全家来闪林镇，但是我们可以先欢迎蹦蹦呀！ 小波，你说得太对啦！ 咱们带他去森林里逛逛吧！ 好呀！ 今天说不定是我们仅有的机会啦。 于是我们哒哒哒地一起跑向了城堡。

When we arrived, we talked to the guards. Hello. Can we come in again today? Sorry, unicorns, but no. We're under strict orders not to let anyone in without an invitation.

我们到了之后，就和守卫打招呼。 你们好呀。 我们今天能不能再进去呀？ 对不起呀，小独角兽们，不行哦。 我们有严格的命令，没有邀请的话谁都不能进去。

We hid behind a bush to brainstorm a new plan. That's when we saw Bounder, hopping high into the air behind the castle wall if only there were a way for us to talk to him. That's it! I know what to do!

我们躲在灌木丛后面，想凑在一起想个新办法。 就在这时候我们看见了蹦蹦，他在城堡墙后面跳得老高老高，要是我们能和他说上话就好了。 有办法啦！ 我知道该怎么做啦！

First, Sunny made himself invisible. Next, Sunny snuck up to the wall and whispered to Bounder. Psst! It's Sunny! Do you want to come see the forest with your new unicorn friends?

首先，桑尼把自己变隐形了。 接着，桑尼悄悄溜到墙边，小声喊蹦蹦。 嘘！ 我是桑尼呀！ 你想不想和你的新独角兽朋友们一起去森林里逛逛呀？

Sunny waited... We all hoped our lessons on magical creatures had been right- that jackalopes have great hearing. Then Sunny heard a reply! Yes, please! Great! But we're not sure how to get you out. Then Bounder did a HUGE leap and landed right next to us! I told you I have skills!

桑尼等着等着…… 我们都暗暗希望之前学的魔法生物知识没错——鹿角兔的听力特别好。 接着桑尼就听到了回答！ 好呀，麻烦啦！ 太棒啦！ 可我们还不知道怎么把你弄出来呢。 紧接着蹦蹦使劲儿一跳，刚好落到了我们旁边！ 我早说过我有绝招嘛！
