Horrid Henry and the Mummy's Curse. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh. Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe. Horrid Henry crept down the hall. The coast was clear. Mum and Dad were in the garden, and Peter was playing at Tidy Ted's. Teehee! thought Henry, then darted into Perfect Peter's room and shut the door. There it was, sitting unopened on Peter's shelf, the grossest, yuckiest, most stomach -curdling kit Henry had ever seen. A brand new deluxe Curse of the Mummy kit, complete with a plastic body to mummify, mummy wrapping gauze, curse book, amulets, and, best of all, removable mummy organs to put in a canopic jar. Peter had won it at the Meet a Real Mummy exhibition at the museum, but he'd never even played with it once.

淘气包亨利和木乃伊的诅咒 哦——哇—— 踮脚走，踮脚走，踮脚走 淘气包亨利蹑手蹑脚地穿过走廊 周围一个人都没有 爸爸妈妈在花园里，彼得去爱整洁的泰德家玩了 “嘻嘻！”亨利暗笑，嗖地冲进乖乖仔彼得的房间，关上了门 彼得的架子上摆着个还没拆封的东西，那是亨利见过最恶心、最倒胃口、最让人起鸡皮疙瘩的 玩具套装 全新的豪华版木乃伊诅咒套装，里面有用来制作木乃伊的塑料身体、木乃伊 包裹纱布、诅咒手册、护身符，最棒的是还有可以拆卸的木乃伊器官，能放进 卡诺匹斯罐里 这个套装是彼得在博物馆的“遇见真木乃伊”展览上赢的，可他甚至连 一次都没玩过

Of course, Henry wasn't allowed into Peter's bedroom without permission. He was also not allowed to play with Peter's toys. This was so unfair! Henry could hardly believe it. True, he wouldn't let Peter touch his boom -boom basher, his goo -shooter, or his dungeon drink -kit. In fact, since Henry refused to share any of his toys with Peter, Mum had forbidden Henry to play with any of Peter's toys. Or else.

当然，没经过允许亨利是不能进彼得卧室的 他也不许玩彼得的玩具 这也太不公平了！ 亨利简直不敢相信 没错，他确实不让彼得碰他的砰砰击打器、黏黏发射器还有地牢饮料套装 其实啊，因为亨利不肯和彼得分享自己的任何玩具，妈妈就禁止 亨利玩彼得的所有玩具 不然有他好果子吃

Henry didn't care. Perfect Peter had boring baby toys. Until, that is, he brought home the mummy -kit. Henry had ached to play with it. And now was his chance. Horrid Henry tore off the wrapping and opened the box. Wow! So gross! Henry felt a delicious shiver. He loved mummies. What could be more thrilling than looking at an ancient wrapped -up dead body? Even a pretend one was wonderful. And now he had hours of fun ahead of him. Pitter -patter, pitter -patter, pitter -patter. Oh help! Someone was coming up the stairs. Horrid Henry shoved the mummy -kit behind him as Peter's bedroom door swung open and Perfect Peter strolled in.

亨利才不在乎 乖乖仔彼得的玩具都是幼稚的小宝宝玩具，无聊透了 直到他把那套木乃伊套装带回了家 亨利早就心痒痒想玩了 现在他的机会来了 淘气包亨利一把撕掉包装，打开了盒子 哇！太恶心啦！ 亨利兴奋得浑身都麻酥酥的 他可喜欢木乃伊了 还有什么比看着一具裹得严严实实的古代尸体更刺激的呀？ 就算是假的也超棒 接下来他能痛痛快快玩好几个小时了 啪嗒啪嗒，啪嗒啪嗒，啪嗒啪嗒 哦糟了！有人上楼来了 彼得的卧室门被推开的时候，淘气包亨利赶紧把木乃伊套装往身后藏 乖乖仔彼得慢悠悠地走了进来

Out of my way, worm!' shouted Henry. Perfect Peter slunk off. Then he stopped. Wait a minute,' he said. You're in my room. You can't order me out of my own room.' Oh, yeah?' blustered Henry. Yeah,' said Peter. You're supposed to be at Teds,' said Henry, trying to distract him. He got sick,' said Peter. He stepped closer. And you're playing with my kit. You're not allowed to play with any of my things. Mum said so. I'm going to tell her right now.

“让开，小虫子！”亨利大喊 乖乖仔彼得灰溜溜地就要走 突然他停住了 “等一下。”他说 “这是我的房间啊” “你不能把我从我自己的房间里赶出去” “哦，是吗？” 亨利气势汹汹地吼道 “就是啊。”彼得说 “你不是应该在泰德家吗？”亨利说，想转移他的注意力 “他生病了。”彼得说 他往前凑了凑 “你在玩我的套装” “你不许碰我的任何东西” “妈妈说的” “我现在就去告诉她”

Uh -oh! If Peter told on him, Henry would be in big trouble. Very big trouble! Henry had to save himself fast. He had two choices. He could leap on Peter and throttle him, or he could use weasel -words. I wasn't playing with it, said Henry smoothly. I was trying to protect you. No, you weren't, said Peter. I'm telling. I was too, said Henry. I was trying to protect you from the mummy's curse. Perfect Peter headed for the door. Then he stopped. What curse, said Peter? The curse which turns people into mummies, said Henry desperately. There's no such thing, said Peter.

哦嚯！要是彼得告他的状，亨利可就倒大霉了 天大的麻烦！亨利得赶紧想办法自救。他有两个选择：要么扑上去 掐住彼得的脖子，要么就耍点小聪明编瞎话 “我没在玩它呀，”亨利面不改色地说，“我是想保护你呢” “你才不是，”彼得说，“我就要去告状” “我真的是，”亨利说，“我想保护你不被木乃伊的诅咒伤到呀” 乖乖仔彼得往门口走，突然停住了 “什么诅咒？”彼得问 “就是会把人变成木乃伊的诅咒呀。”亨利急急忙忙地说 “根本就没有这种东西。”彼得说
