3 Swoop! Floop! Bloop!

3 呼嗖！ 啪嗒！ 咕嘟！

"Ah," says Blue, inhaling the salty air as they pedal along. "I love the smell of the sea." "Me too. It makes me hungry," says Gully. "You're always hungry," Blue says. "Not untrue," Gully admits. They're down by the water now, where all the people who fish live and dock their boats. There are not many people here this morning because all the boats are out on the ocean. Blue stops at a cottage with multicolored floats hanging all around its bright red door. Its door knocker is in the shape of a lobster. Gully taps at it with his beak. Knock-knock. Knock-knock. "Witchycakes delivery!" Blue calls. No one answers. Blue and Gully listen at the door. They hear stomping and running and thudding and music and…singing? "Whew…it's noisy in there," says Gully.

“啊，”布鲁一边蹬车，一边深深吸了一口咸咸的空气说道。 “我最喜欢大海的味道啦。” “我也是。 闻得我都饿了。”格利说。 “你什么时候都饿。”布鲁说。 “这倒是实话。”格利承认道。 他们这会儿来到了岸边，捕鱼的人们都住在这儿，也把船停靠在这里。 今天早上这儿没什么人，因为所有的船都开到海上去了。 布鲁在一栋小屋前停下了，小屋亮红色的门周围挂满了五颜六色的浮漂。 门上的门环是龙虾形状的。 格利用自己的喙轻轻敲了敲门。 咚咚。 咚咚。 “魔女蛋糕店送货来啦！” 布鲁喊道。 没人应声。 布鲁和格利贴着门听里面的动静。 他们听见咚咚的跺脚声、哒哒的跑步声、砰砰的撞击声、音乐声，还有……唱歌声？ “哇……里面可真吵啊。”格利说。

"Sounds like the Sandersons, all right," says Blue. They try the door. It is unlocked. "Maybe we should just go in." Inside, Skipper Sanderson is playing a recorder. His sister, Summer Sanderson, is playing an accordion while singing. Skye and Saylor Sanderson, their twin sister and brother, are chasing each other around the dining room table. Their mother, Mrs. Sanderson, is slumped in a chair with a dish towel over her face.

“听这动静，肯定是桑德森家没错了。”布鲁说。 他们试着推了推门。 门没锁。 “要不我们直接进去吧。” 屋里，斯基珀·桑德森正在吹竖笛。 他的姐姐萨默·桑德森一边拉手风琴，一边唱歌。 斯凯和塞勒·桑德森是一对龙凤胎，正围着餐厅的桌子你追我赶。 他们的妈妈桑德森太太瘫坐在椅子上，脸上盖着一块擦碗布。

"Uh, hello?" Blue calls. "I tried knocking, but nobody answered. I've brought your delivery of sandy-witch bread." Mrs. Sanderson lifts the dish towel. "Perfect timing," she says weakly. "Are you…all right?" Blue asks. "I've fed everyone breakfast, made all the beds, finished the laundry, and washed all the dishes," Mrs. Sanderson says. "I could use a rest." "Mommy!" cries Saylor. "I'm hungry!" "Me too!" cries Skye. "Mmm…lunch sounds good," says Summer. "I could eat," says Skipper. Mrs. Sanderson sighs. "So much for relaxing," she says. "With Mr. Sanderson out on his lobster boat, Mrs. Sanderson's got a lot to do," Blue whispers to Gully. "And then some," the seagull says. "Maybe she needs a little helping magic," suggests Blue.

“呃，您好？” 布鲁喊道。 “我刚才敲门了，但是没人答应。 我把你们订的沙女巫面包送过来啦。” 桑德森太太把擦碗布拿了下来。 “来得正好。”她有气无力地说。 “您……没事吧？” 布鲁问道。 “我刚给所有人做了早饭，铺了所有的床，洗完了所有衣服，还刷完了所有碗。”桑德森太太说。 “我可得歇会儿了。” “妈妈！”塞勒喊道。 “我饿啦！” “我也是！”斯凯喊道。 “嗯……吃午饭听起来不错。”萨默说。 “我也能吃点。”斯基珀说。 桑德森太太叹了口气。 “还想放松呢，泡汤咯。”她说。 “桑德森先生开着捕龙虾船出海了，桑德森太太要做的事可多了。”布鲁小声对格利说。 “何止是多啊。”这只海鸥说道。 “说不定她需要一点帮忙魔法呢。”布鲁提议道。

Blue clears their mind. They focus on helping. "Time for lunch!" they announce, clapping their hands. Swoop! A drawer opens and a loaf of bread jumps up, then wriggles out of its bag. Cabinet doors swing wide as the peanut butter and jelly jump to the counter. Floop! A knife skitters out of a drawer and spreads the peanut butter. Bloop! It spreads the jelly.

布鲁清空脑子里的杂念。 他们专心想着要帮忙。 “午饭时间到啦！” 他们一边宣布，一边拍了拍手。 呼嗖！ 一个抽屉打开了，一条面包跳了起来，扭着身子从包装袋里钻了出来。 橱柜门猛地敞开，花生酱和果冻跳到了台面上。 啪嗒！ 一把小刀从抽屉里溜了出来，开始抹花生酱。 咕嘟！ 它又抹上了果冻。

"Amazing!" says Mrs. Sanderson. "Right, kids?" "Wait, no jelly on my sandwich!" says Saylor. "Only peanut butter!" "And no peanut butter on my sandwich!" says Skye. "Only jelly!" "I don't like chunky peanut butter," says Summer. "And cut my sandwich in triangles." "No bread crusts for me," says Skipper. "And I only eat grape jelly." Zzzoop! The bread goes flying and lands on the floor. Zzzorp! Blorp! The peanut butter and jelly drop to the counter. Zzzerk-a-kkkklerk! The knife clatters to the floor. "Oh, raisins," says Blue.

“太神奇了！”桑德森太太说。 “对吧，孩子们？” “等下，我的三明治别放果冻！”塞勒说。 “只放花生酱！” “我的三明治别放花生酱！”斯凯说。 “只放果冻！” “我不喜欢颗粒花生酱。”萨默说。 “还要把我的三明治切成三角形。” “我不要面包边。”斯基珀说。 “而且我只吃葡萄味的果冻。” 嗖——！ 面包飞了出去，掉在了地上。 咻——！啪嗒！ 花生酱和果冻掉到了台面上。 咔啦——哐当！ 小刀哐当一声掉在了地上。 “哎呀，糟了。”布鲁说。
