4 The Cake Trail to Fu

4 The Cake Trail to Fu Lin refused to be distracted by Small Raccoon, who had been constantly jabbing her little paw at the ground since they left the panda field. Lin's mind whirled with frightening thoughts of a predator on the loose and a missing Fu and she

通往福林的蛋糕小径上，林完全没心思搭理小浣熊，毕竟他们刚离开熊猫园，小浣熊就一直用小爪子不停地戳地面。 林脑子里乱糟糟的，满是捕食者在逃、福下落不明的可怕念头，她

just couldn't focus on a raccoon's impossible mimes at that time. "This is very annoying," Lin whispered to Malo as she jerked her head towards Small Raccoon. "Doesn't she know we have a real-life pandamergency on our paws?" "I think she's trying to tell us something," Malo said, eyeing the little raccoon. "What if she knows something?" "What could a little raccoon possibly know?" Lin argued. "We don't have time for games!

这会儿实在没法集中精神搞懂小浣熊那些莫名其妙的比划。 “这也太烦人了，”林朝小浣熊的方向偏了偏头，小声对马洛抱怨。 “她难道不知道我们现在正遇上实打实的熊猫紧急事件吗？” “我觉得她是想告诉我们什么事，”马洛盯着小浣熊，开口说道。 “说不定她知道些内情呢？” 一只小浣熊能知道什么呀？” 林反驳道。 “我们可没时间玩游戏！

We have to find Fu." She paused anyway and stared down at the ground where Small Raccoon was pointing. "Yes, that's the ground, Small Raccoon," Lin snapped, frustrated. She pointed at the sky. "And that's the sky." Then she pointed at herself. "And this is me being very busy trying to find my friend, so could you stop delaying me and try to be helpful?"

我们得找到福。” 可她还是停了下来，低头看向小浣熊指的地面。 “是啊，那是地面，小浣熊，”林没好气地说，心里烦躁得很。 她指了指天空。 “那是天空。” 接着她又指了指自己。 “而我现在正忙着找我的朋友，所以你能不能别耽误我时间，稍微有点用行不行？”

"Hey!" Malo interrupted. "Look at this!" He picked up a piece of food from the path. "It's panda cake!" He stepped forward and picked up another crumb. "Here's some more." He carried on down the track, picking up squidgy crumb after squidgy crumb.

“哎！” 马洛突然打断她。 “快看这个！” 他从小路上捡起一块吃的。 “是熊猫蛋糕！” 他往前走了一步，又捡起另一块碎屑。 “这儿还有呢。” 他顺着小路往前走，一块接一块地捡起那些软乎乎的蛋糕屑。

"It's a trail," Lin exclaimed. "Fu left us a trail!" Lin turned to Small Raccoon. "See this?" She pointed at the trail of panda-cake scraps. "This would've been a useful thing to point out." Small Raccoon slapped a paw to her face and sighed deeply but hurried along with Lin and Malo, who were following the cake trail. "Fu must have been trying to tell us which

“这是条线索小路啊，”林惊喜地叫出声。 “是福给我们留的踪迹！” 林转向小浣熊。 “看见这个没？” 她指着那堆熊猫蛋糕碎屑留下的痕迹。 “你早指出来这个不就有用多了。” 小浣熊一掌拍在自己脸上，深深叹了口气，但还是赶紧跟上沿着蛋糕痕迹往前走的林和马洛。 “福肯定是想告诉我们他走了哪

way he went," Lin said carefully. "Fu would never leave panda cake uneaten- not even a crumb." She thought a while. "He must be in trouble." Lin remembered the one and only time Fu hadn't eaten his panda cake. It had been his birthday and she had sent him on a bamboo- leaf treasure hunt around the panda field. He had taken so long trying to solve the clues that Lin had been starving by the time he was only halfway through. She had been so hungry that she could've eaten Malo by that point. She hadn't

条路，”林慢慢说道。 “福从来不会剩熊猫蛋糕不吃——连一点碎渣都不会剩。” 她想了一会儿。 “他肯定是遇到麻烦了。” 林想起福唯一一次没吃熊猫蛋糕的经历。 那时候是他的生日，林安排他在熊猫园里玩粽叶寻宝游戏。 他解线索花了好长时间，等他才玩到一半的时候，林都快饿扁了。 她那时候饿得都能把马洛给吃下去。 她本来也不想
