5-13 Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

Chapter 13. Animal control officer Francine Poulet was scouting the backyards of Dekawoo Drive. She leaped over hedges.

第十三章 动物管理官员弗朗辛·普莱正在德卡伍大道的各个后院搜寻。 她纵身跳过树篱。

She crept through flower beds. She thought piggy thoughts

她蹑手蹑脚地穿过花坛，满脑子都是和小猪相关的念头。

She climbed a tree and surveyed the yard below her. She saw three people wearing hats. She saw three people sitting at a table having tea.

她爬上一棵树，眺望下方的院子。 她看见三个戴着帽子的人。 她看见三个人坐在桌边喝茶。

Isn't that nice? said Francine Poulet. Isn't that sweet?

“这可真好呀？”弗朗辛·普莱说，“这可太温馨啦？”

Francine looked more closely. Wait a minute, she said. One of those people is not a person. One of those people is a pig. Francine, you have located the pig. You are the best animal control officer in the history of the world. And now you must capture the pig. On the count of three. One. Two.

弗朗辛凑得更近仔细看。 “等一下，”她说。 那些人里有一个根本不是人类。 那是一头小猪。 弗朗辛，你成功找到那头猪啦。 你简直是世界有史以来最棒的动物管理官。 现在你必须抓住那头小猪。 我数到三就行动。 一。 二。

Francine Poulet closed her eyes. She leaped from the tree. Three!

弗朗辛·普莱闭上了眼睛。 她从树上纵身跳了下去。 三！
