Chapter 10

10 Beaver Battles Rosa sat bolt upright. The campfire was out and the sky was glowing a rich turquoise blue with the onset of day. The patch of ground around her looked different to the previous night,and it took a few moments for her to register why. 'NAN!'shouted Rosa. 'Wake up!' The river had swollen overnight, and water was lapping just a few metres from her feet.

罗莎笔直地坐着。 营火熄灭了，随着一天的开始，天空呈现出丰富的青绿色。 她周围的那块地看起来和前一天晚上不一样了，过了一会儿她才明白为什么。 “奶奶!”“罗莎喊道。“醒来!”河水一夜之间涨了起来，河水拍打着离她脚只有几米的地方。

She was close to getting drenched. 'Whut...?' said Nan. She sat up, her hair decorated with pine needles and twigs. She rubbed her eyes. 'The water, Nan!' said Rosa. 'It's almost on us! I fell asleep; I'm so sorry.' 'Oh,don't worry,' said Nan. 'But water? Here?' She found her glasses and was suddenly able to see what had happened for herself. 'Well,blow my trumpet,she said,getting to her feet. 'It's them beavers!They don't half work hard. 'The beavers did this?' said Rosa, quite amazed at what they were capable of. 'Elsie said she had plans, but..

她差点就淋湿了。 “Whut上映……?南说。她坐了起来，头发上装饰着松针和小树枝。 她揉了揉眼睛。“水，南！”罗莎说。 “快追上我们了！”我睡着了;我很抱歉。“哦，别担心，”南说。 但水吗?在这里吗?”她找到了她的眼镜，突然能够亲眼看到发生了什么。 “好吧，吹我的小号吧，”她说着站了起来。 “是海狸！”他们工作很努力。 “是海狸干的？”罗莎说，对他们的能力感到非常惊讶。 “埃尔西说她有安排，但是……

'They definitely work fast!' said Nan. 'I hadn't imagined they'd finish their dams overnight.' Grandma Nan paused, realising the downside to the beavers'actions. 'We best go and see Mr Pernicky,' she said with a grumble. 'He's not going to like this, is he?' They hurriedly rolled up their blankets, dismantled their shelter and packed it all away. Mr Pernicky's house was now sitting slap bang in the middle of a pond, with half its door submerged. 'Oh no,' said Rosa. 'Just as I feared,' said Nan. A huge cry rang out from the cabin. 'WHHAAAAAAAAAAT!?!' screamed Mr Pernicky.

“它们肯定很快！”南说。 他说，我没想到他们会在一夜之间完成大坝建设。南奶奶停了一下，意识到海狸行为的负面影响。 “我们最好去看看佩尼基先生，”她咕哝着说。 “他不会喜欢这样的，是吗？”他们赶紧卷起毯子，拆了帐篷，打包走人。 佩尼基先生的房子现在正坐落在一个池塘中央，一半的门被水淹没了。 “哦，不，”罗莎说。“正如我所担心的，”南说。 船舱里传来一声巨大的叫声。 “WHHAAAAAAAAAAT ! ? !佩尼基先生尖叫道。

Grandma Nan waded into the pond and tried to open the cabin door. 'It's only me, she said.' Let me help you. 'It's ruined!' he cried. 'They've turned my home into a fish tank!'

南奶奶涉水进入池塘，试图打开小屋的门。 “是我，”她说。让我来帮你。 这是毁了!他叫道。“他们把我家变成了一个鱼缸！”

The door opened, and a furious Mr Pernicky appeared. His face was berry red in anger. 'I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS,' he snarled. He pushed past Nan and hopped off into the forest.

门开了，怒气冲冲的佩尼基先生走了出来。 他气得脸都红了。 “我受不了了，”他咆哮道。 他推开南，跳进森林里。
