11 The Little Lie

The Little Lie

小小的谎言

Chapter One Billie B Brown has two colourful slings, three pink bandaids and a bandage around her head. Do you know what the B in Billie B Brown stands for? Broken. Billie B Brown has been hunting dinosaurs with her best friend Jack. A dinosaur

第一章 比莉·B·布朗有两条色彩鲜艳的吊腕带，三张粉色创可贴，头上还缠着一圈绷带。 你知道比莉·B·布朗里的B代表什么吗？ 受伤的。 比莉·B·布朗刚才正和她最好的朋友杰克一起捕猎恐龙呢。 有一头恐龙

trampled all over Billie. It is a terrible emergency! Now Billie has two broken arms. And maybe a broken head, too!

把比莉整个踩扁啦。 这可真是个超级紧急的情况！ 现在比莉的两条胳膊都断了。 说不定脑袋也摔坏啦！

No, not really. Billie and Jack are just playing hunters. Now Hunter Jack is pretending to bandage up Billie's broken bones. Jack and Billie live next door to each other. They play lots of made-up games together. "I feel much better now," says Billie. She takes off all the bandages. "Let's go back out and catch another dinosaur!" Jack and Billie run outside into the garden. Billie has a toy bow and arrow. She shoots the arrow up into the air. Up, up, up it goes.

才不是呢。 比莉和杰克只是在玩猎人游戏呀。 现在猎人杰克正假装给比莉包扎断了的骨头呢。 杰克和比莉是隔壁邻居。 他们俩经常一起玩各种编出来的游戏。 "我现在感觉好多啦。"比莉说。 她把所有绷带都拆了下来。 "我们再出去抓另一只恐龙吧！" 杰克和比莉跑到外面的花园里。 比莉有一套玩具弓箭。 她把箭往天上射。 箭飞呀飞，飞得越来越高。

Then down, down, down. Right onto the roof of the shed.

接着又落呀落，越来越低。 正好掉在了小屋的屋顶上。

"Oh no!" says Billie. "That was our last arrow!" "Don't worry," says Jack. "We can play something else." But Billie doesn't want to play anything else. She wants to keep playing hunters! Billie climbs the fence to see if she can find the arrow. The fence is very high. Billie climbs up and up until she is as high as the shed roof. "I can see the arrow!" Billie calls down to Jack. "It's just on the edge of the roof. I'm sure I can reach it." "Be careful, Billie!" calls Jack. He looks worried. "Maybe we should get your mum or dad?"

"哦糟了！"比莉说。 "那是我们最后一支箭了！" "别担心。"杰克说。 "我们可以玩别的游戏呀。" 可比莉不想玩别的任何游戏。 她还想接着玩猎人游戏！ 比莉爬上围栏，想看看能不能找到那支箭。 围栏特别高。 比莉爬呀爬，一直爬到和小屋屋顶一样高的地方。 "我看到箭啦！" 比莉低头对着杰克喊。 "它就在屋顶的边边上。 我肯定够得到它的。" "小心点，比莉！" 杰克喊道。 他看起来很担心。 "要不我们去叫你爸爸妈妈来吧？"
