"Time for bed," said Winnie the Witch, as the clock struck twelve. Witches always go to bed at midnight. Winnie turned off the lights and went upstairs. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, put on her nightie and climbed into bed. In two minutes she was Snoring. Wilbur, her big black cat, was already asleep. He was curled up in his basket, dreaming.

“该睡觉啦。”时钟敲响十二点的时候，女巫温妮说。 女巫们总是在午夜上床睡觉。 温妮关掉灯，走上了楼。 她刷了牙，洗了脸，穿上睡衣，爬上了床。 两分钟不到，她就打起了呼噜。 她的大黑猫威尔伯，早就已经睡着了。 他蜷在自己的小窝里，正做着梦呢。

Two minutes later, Wilbur woke up. He could hear a funny noise in the garden. He crept to the cat flap and peeped out. There was something on the doormat. Something with big green eyes. "Meeoww!" cried Wilbur. and be jumped back. A long nose poked through the cat flap. Then there was a puff of smoke. The cat flap wobbled and shook.

两分钟后，威尔伯醒了。 他听见花园里传来一阵奇怪的声响。 他蹑手蹑脚地走到猫 flap 旁边，往外偷看。 门垫上有个什么东西。 那东西长着一双大大的绿眼睛。 “喵呜！”威尔伯叫了起来。 他吓得往后一跳。 一个长长的鼻子从猫 flap 里伸了进来。 接着冒出来一小团烟。 猫 flap 晃了晃，抖个不停。

A spiky body, then a long tail, followed the nose. There was a baby dragon in Winnie's house! "Meeoww!" cried Wilbur. He turned three backward somersaults and ran into the hall. The baby dragon thought this was fun. He ran after Wilbur. Swish, swish went his tail. Winnie's grandfather clock wobbled and shook. DING! DONG! BOING! "Meeoww!" cried Wilbur, and he raced upstairs. The baby dragon ran after him. Swish, swish went his tail. Winnie's suit of armor wobbled and shook and rolled down the stairs. CRASH! BANG! CLANG!

跟着鼻子进来的，是布满尖刺的身体，还有一条长尾巴。 温妮的房子里居然有一只小龙宝宝！ “喵呜！”威尔伯叫起来。 他连着翻了三个后空翻，冲进了门厅。 小龙宝宝觉得这可太好玩了。 他跟在威尔伯后面跑。 他的尾巴甩来甩去，唰唰作响。 温妮的老爷钟晃了晃，抖个不停。 叮！ 咚！ 哐当！ “喵呜！”威尔伯叫着，飞快地跑上了楼。 小龙宝宝跟在他后面追。 他的尾巴甩来甩去，唰唰作响。 温妮的盔甲晃了晃，抖个不停，顺着楼梯滚了下去。 哗啦！ 咚！ 哐啷！
