A STORY FOR MY SISTER by Stella Batts Once upon a time there was a duck-billed platypus named Penelope. In case you don't know how to say that name, it's Pa-nello- pee. (Not Peen-lope.) Penelope went to school and had a bunch of friends. Plus, she had a platypus sister. Her sister was older so they weren't in the same class. But there were lots of other kids in Penelope's class, all different kinds of animals. Penelope liked them all. That is, until Bruce the Goose started at her school.

《写给我妹妹的故事》,作者斯特拉·巴茨 从前,有只鸭嘴兽叫佩内洛普。 要是你不知道这个名字怎么念,它的发音是Pa-nello-pee。 (不是Peen-lope哦。) 佩内洛普上学,还有好多好朋友。 另外,她还有个鸭嘴兽姐姐。 姐姐比她大,所以她们不在同一个班级。 不过佩内洛普的班上有好多其他小朋友,全是各种各样的小动物。 佩内洛普都很喜欢他们。 直到大鹅布鲁斯来她的学校上学,一切都变了。

Penelope had played with geese before. She thought it would be just fine. At recess that day, Penelope went to play in the pond. Bruce waddled over and honked to get Penelope's attention. "You need to get out right now," he told her. Oh no! Was there something wrong with the water? Was it a monster? Penelope leaped out of the water as quick as she could. But then Bruce went right in! "Be careful!" she called. "It's not safe." "Of course it's safe," Bruce said.

佩内洛普之前和鹅一起玩过。 她觉得这次肯定也没问题。 那天课间休息,佩内洛普去池塘里玩。 布鲁斯摇摇摆摆地走过来,嘎嘎叫着吸引佩内洛普的注意。 “你现在就得从里面出来。”他对她说。 哦,糟了! 是水里出什么问题了吗? 是有怪物吗? 佩内洛普赶紧用最快的速度从水里跳了出来。 结果布鲁斯直接跳进了水里! “小心啊!” 她喊道。 “这里不安全。” “当然安全啊。”布鲁斯说。

"Then why did you make me get out?" "Geese have first choice," he explained. "That's the rule. So I traded you—my spot on dry land for your water spot." Geese did NOT have first choice. Penelope crawled toward the water to go in again. Bruce honked extra loud, which made her jump back as far as she could. (Which wasn't too far because she had stubby little duck-billed platypus legs, not so good for jumping.) "This is not fair," Penelope said. And then something happened. The same thing that always happened when Penelope thought something was not fair. A little

“那你为什么要让我出来?” “鹅有优先选择权。”他解释道。 “这是规矩。 所以我和你换了——我用岸上的位置换了你水里的位置。” 鹅才没有什么优先选择权。 佩内洛普往水边爬,想再进去。 布鲁斯嘎嘎叫得特别大声,吓得她赶紧往后跳了好远。 (其实也没跳多远,因为她长着鸭嘴兽短短的小短腿,不怎么擅长跳跃。)“这不公平。”佩内洛普说。 然后出事了。 每次佩内洛普觉得不公平的时候,都会发生同一件事。 一点点

bit of poison shot out of her foot. It wasn't killer poison, but it was the hurting kind. It landed splat on Bruce's left wing. "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" he cried. The teacher, Miss Griffin, heard his crying and raced over. "That horrible platypus stung me with her poison," he tattled. "You have to punish her." But Penelope couldn't help herself. It was just what happened to duck-billed platypuses when they got upset. Which meant Bruce had to have been mean first.

毒液从她的脚上射了出去。 不是致命的毒,但会让人疼。 啪的一下正好打在布鲁斯的左翅膀上。 “哎哟! 哎哟! 哎哟! 哎哟! 哎哟!”他大叫起来。 老师格里芬小姐听到他的叫声,赶紧跑了过来。 “那只坏鸭嘴兽用她的毒液蜇我!”他告起状来。 “你得惩罚她。” 但佩内洛普控制不住自己。 鸭嘴兽不高兴的时候就会这样啊。 也就是说,肯定是布鲁斯先欺负人的。

The one who starts the trouble is the one who should get in trouble. That's the rule—the real rule. "Come out of the water, Bruce," Miss Griffin said. "I'm sending you to the principal." "Yeah, Bruce," Penny said. "You're going to the principal." Bruce waddled out of the water. But then something happened to Penny. She started to feel bad. Even if it wasn't her fault, she'd still hurt him—on his first day at school. And now he was going to have to go to the principal on his first day. Plus, her big sister's class let out for recess right then. She wasn't even upset

谁先惹麻烦,谁才应该受罚。 这才是规矩——真正的规矩。 “布鲁斯,从水里出来。”格里芬小姐说。 “我要送你去校长室。” “对呀,布鲁斯,”佩妮说, “你要去校长室咯。” 布鲁斯摇摇摆摆地从水里走了出来。 但这时佩妮有点不对劲了。 她开始觉得愧疚。 就算不是她的错,她还是伤到了他——而且今天还是他上学的第一天。 现在他第一天上学就要被送去校长室。 而且正好这时,她姐姐的班级也下课出来休息了。 她甚至都不为不能下水玩
