Chapter 9

Chapter 9 "Flower fairies," Miss Luisa whispered to the children. "You're up next!" Millie tore her eyes away from the older students, who were halfway through their swan dance. She rushed toward the props to find her watering can and Dolly. "Good luck, Millie," Samira said as she hurried past with her own can. "See you up there!" "Good luck, Samira," Millie whispered back excitedly. She reached the side of the stage and looked for her pink can. It wasn't there. It wasn't where

第九章 路易莎小姐对着孩子们轻声说道：“花仙子们。” “接下来就轮到你们上场啦！” 米莉正看着年长的学生们跳天鹅舞，跳到一半呢，闻言才恋恋不舍地移开目光。 她赶忙冲到道具区，去找她的浇水壶和多莉。 萨米拉拿着自己的水壶匆匆走过时，说道：“米莉，祝你好运呀。” “我们台上见哦！” 米莉激动地小声回应：“萨米拉，也祝你好运。” 她走到舞台边，找起了她的粉色浇水壶。 它不在那儿。 它根本不在原先

she'd left it. She checked behind the curtain, under the table, and in the boxes. She searched the backpacks and the lunch boxes. Her watering can had completely disappeared.

放它的地方。 她查看了窗帘后面、桌子底下，还有各个箱子里。 她翻了所有的背包和午餐盒。 她的浇水壶彻底不见了踪影。

"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no," she whispered, panicked. "What's wrong, Millie?" Fifi asked, hopping over with Pod and Trixie. "We just came to wish you and Dolly good luck." "My watering can is gone!" Millie said, hunting through the folds of the curtain again. "And Dolly's inside." Her hands shook as she shoved her way through boxes of costumes, dumping them onto their sides, searching for the little bunny. Millie suddenly stopped. There on the floor where her watering can had been was a blue petal. A blue petal from a blue flower tutu. "Amber!" Millie cried. "Amber took the can, and Dolly too." "Don't worry, Millie," Fifi reassured her. "Dolly's made of tough bunny fluff. We'll find her."

“哦糟了。 哦糟了。 哦糟了啊。”她慌慌张张地小声念叨着。 “米莉，你怎么啦？” 菲菲问着，和波德、特里克西一起蹦蹦跳跳地跑了过来。 “我们是特意来给你和多莉送好运的呀。” “我的浇水壶不见了！” 米莉一边说，一边又在窗帘的褶皱里翻找起来。 “多莉还在里面呢。” 她的手都在抖，扒拉着一箱箱戏服，把箱子都掀翻到一边，就为了找那只小兔子。 米莉突然停住了脚步。 原先放她浇水壶的地面上，有一片蓝色的花瓣。 是蓝色花朵芭蕾舞裙上掉下来的蓝色花瓣。 “安珀！” 米莉大喊出声。 “安珀拿走了浇水壶，连多莉也一起带走了。” 菲菲安慰她道：“别担心，米莉。” “多莉可是结实得很的小兔子呢。 我们一定会找到她的。”

Catching Dolly's scent, the bunnies dashed off behind the stage. Millie sprinted after them. "She's here somewhere!" Pod said, his long ears twitching. "I can hear her!" "I can't hear anything," Millie said as the swan song blared loudly backstage. "She's definitely here," Pod said. "I can hear her thumping her feet." "In here!" Fifi shouted, jumping up and down by a closed trash can. "I think Dolly's in here."

小兔子们闻到了多莉的气味，一下子冲到了舞台后面。 米莉也跟在它们后面飞快地跑。 “她就在这附近的某个地方！” 波德说道，他的长耳朵一抽一抽的。 “我能听到她的声音！” “我什么都听不到。”米莉说道，后台正 loudly 响着天鹅舞的乐曲呢。 “她肯定在这儿。”波德说。 “我能听到她蹬脚的声音。” “在这里！” 菲菲大喊着，在一个盖着的垃圾桶旁边蹦来蹦去。 “我觉得多莉就在这里面。”

Millie yanked off the lid. There, inside the dark bin, was her pink watering can and an agitated—but safe—Dolly. Millie lifted Dolly out of the watering can and hugged her close. "Are you okay?" she asked. "I'm fine," Dolly huffed. "That Amber took our can and dumped it in the trash." "I thought so," replied Millie, before telling her about the blue petal.

米莉猛地掀开了垃圾桶盖子。 在黑漆漆的桶里，正放着她的粉色浇水壶，还有虽然有点着急但安然无恙的多莉。 米莉把多莉从浇水壶里抱出来，紧紧地搂住她。 “你没事吧？” 她问道。 “我没事。”多莉气鼓鼓地说。 “那个安珀把我们的水壶拿走，扔到垃圾桶里了。” “我就猜到是她。”米莉回答道，然后跟她说了自己发现蓝色花瓣的事。
