Chapter 7

CHAPTER 3 The REAL PIGEONS decide to QUESTION the three remaining suspects. Grandpouter visits the crab but discovers the prankster has already struck. Someone has built a sandy maze around her. "I just wanted to go out for a crab walk!" Grandpouter frees the crab. "You are clearly not the prankster," he says.

第三章 真正的鸽子探案组决定去审问剩下的三名嫌疑人。 古鸽爷爷去找螃蟹，却发现搞恶作剧的人已经先下手了。 有人在她周围堆了个沙子迷宫。 “我只是想出门散个蟹步而已啊！” 古鸽爷爷把螃蟹救了出来。 “你显然不是那个搞恶作剧的人。”他说。

Homey and Tumbler visit the seahorse. "You're not in any trouble —just tell us the truth!" "But if you don't tell us the truth, you'll never eat another bread crumb! Or— whatever seahorses eat!" "I'm innocent!" says the seahorse. "Seahorses can't survive out of water, so I couldn't have done the pranks on land!" "Oh yeah! You are clearly not the prankster." "OK, bye!"

霍米和坦布勒去找海马。 “你不会有麻烦的——只要跟我们说实话就行！” “可要是你不说实话，你以后就再也吃不到面包屑啦！ 哦不对——反正就是你们海马吃的那些东西！” “我是无辜的！”海马说。 “海马离开水就活不了，所以陆地上的那些恶作剧根本不可能是我干的！” “哦对哦！ 你显然不是那个搞恶作剧的人。” “好啦，再见！”

Rock and Frillback fly up to the lighthouse to question Paulican. "I'm getting ready to fight the prankster," says Frillback. "I'm still planning on using my SUPER STRENGTH to get Trent back." "Super strength doesn't solve every problem," says Rock.

洛克和褶背鸽飞到灯塔上去审问保利肯。 “我正准备好好教训那个搞恶作剧的家伙呢。”褶背鸽说。 我还打算用我的超级神力把特伦特救回来呢。” “超级神力可解决不了所有问题哦。”洛克说。

They fly through an open window into the lighthouse. And there is Paulican. "You won't like this," says Rock. "But we think you might be the prankster." Paulican doesn't answer. Instead, he gurgles. GURGLE GURGLE

他们从一扇开着的窗户飞进了灯塔里。 保利肯就在那儿。 “说出来你可能会不高兴。”洛克说。 “但我们觉得你可能就是那个搞恶作剧的人。” 保利肯没有回答。 反而咕噜咕噜地吐着泡泡。 咕噜 咕噜

"Is everything OK, Paulican?" says Rock. Paulican sighs and opens his bill. A fish flaps its fins furiously. "Help me! I'm too young to fly!" "What is going on here?" demands Frillback. "Is this another prank?" "No," says Paulican, gurgling through all the water in his bill. "Let me explain."

“你没事吧，保利肯？”洛克说。 保利肯叹了口气，张开了嘴。 一条小鱼正拼命扑腾着鱼鳍。 “救救我！ 我还太小，还不会飞呢！” “这是怎么回事？”褶背鸽质问道。 “这又是另一个恶作剧吗？” “不是。”保利肯说，嘴里的水让他说话咕噜咕噜的。 “听我解释。”

"Lighthouses warn ships not to get too close to the rocky land," says Paulican. "But ships aren't the only things in danger. Ocean creatures sometimes bop their heads on rocks. BOP! "So I live up here, keeping watch. And rescuing animals before they knock themselves out." "Wait, so you're helping me? Not eating me?" "That's right. I came up here to look at a map and find out how to take you home!"

“灯塔是用来提醒船只不要太靠近多岩石的岸边的。”保利肯说。 “但面临危险的可不只有船只哦。 海洋生物有时候会一头撞到岩石上。 咚！ “所以我住在这儿守望。 在动物们把自己撞晕之前把它们救下来。” “等等，所以你是在帮我？ 不是要吃我？” “没错呀。 我上来就是想看看地图，找找怎么送你回家呢！”
