Good-bye, Little Bug!

chapter 10 Good-bye, Little Bug! My knees shook. Roz looked angry. Chopper looked hungry. “ What are you going to do?" I asked. " Squash me? Eat me?" “ No. " Roz grinned. " We're going to do something even worse! "

第十章再见，小虫子! 我的膝盖在颤抖。 罗兹看起来很愤怒。 乔珀看起来很饿。 “你们要做什么?”我问。“压扁我?吃掉我?” “不。”罗兹咧嘴一笑。“我们要做的比那更糟!”

Roz grabbed my arms. She pushed me to Principal Murphy's house. The principal's car was not in the driveway. But there was a small truck parked in front of the house. Roz pushed me to the tall fence around the . principal's backyard. She opened the fence door and shoved me inside. " Good-bye, little bug! " Roz said as though she would never see me again. Then she slammed the fence door shut and laughed.

罗兹抓住我的胳膊。她把我推向墨菲校长的房子。 校长的车不在车道上。但是房子前停着一辆小卡车。 罗兹把我推向围绕校长后院的高栅栏。她打开栅栏门，把我推了进去。 “再见了，小虫子!”罗兹说，好像她再也见不到我了。然后她砰地关上栅栏门，笑了。

Roz thought I was in trouble. Of course, I didn't tell Roz Principal Murphy wasn't home. Or that we were friends. But I did pretend to be scared. " Help! Help! " I yelled. " Let me out! " I heard Chopper's happy bark. I heard Roz laugh louder. Then I heard them walk away from the fence. " Ha! It worked! " I said to myself. Fooling Roz was fun. I smiled and looked around. The back door to Principal Murphy's house was open. I heard a bumping noise. I peeked in the doorway. I heard a cat's meow. Muffin sounded scared. So I stepped inside and walked to the front room.

罗兹以为我有麻烦了。当然，我没有告诉罗兹墨菲校长不在家。或者我们成了朋友。但我确实假装很害怕。“救命!救命!”我喊道。“让我出去!” 我听到乔珀高兴的吠叫。我听到罗兹笑得更大声。然后我听到他们从栅栏边走开。 “哈!成功了!”我自言自语。愚弄罗兹很有趣。 我微笑地四处看了看。墨菲校长家的后门是开着的。 我听到了撞击的声音。我偷偷地往门口里看。我听到了猫的叫声。小松饼听起来很害怕。 所以我走了进去，走向前厅。

A man was carrying the principal's box of baseball cards toward the front door. " I'm a mover, kid, " he said when he saw me. “ So stay out of my way! " I walked back outside. But something didn't seem right. " Wait a minute! " I said. " He's moving things out - not in! " I raced to the front of the house. I saw the man stepping into the small truck. A woman was sitting on the front seat. She was holding something white and fluffy. “ Muffin?" I said. Muffin looked at me through the window. She was scared. And trapped!

一个男人正抱着校长的棒球卡盒子走向前门。“我是个搬家工人，孩子，”他看到我时说。 “所以别挡我的路!” 我走了出去。但是有些事情似乎不对劲。 “等一下!”我说。“他是在搬东西出去一而不是进来!”我跑到房子前面。我看到那个男人正走进小卡车。 一个女人坐在前座。 她手里拿着一些白色和蓬松的东西。 “小松饼?”我说。 小松饼透过窗户看着我。她看起来很害怕。而且被困住了!

" Stop! " I yelled. But the truck started moving. I had to do something. Fast! " It's monkey time! " I said. I quickly jumped behind a bush. I closed my eyes and thought of exciting things. Like eating cookies. Like tricking Roz. Like saving Muffin. A wave of energy splashed through me. My head started spinning. My heart raced. Faster. And faster. I sneezed. " A-CHOO! "

“停下!”我喊道。但卡车开始移动。我必须做点什么。快! “是猴子时间!”我说。我迅速跳到灌木丛后面。 我闭上眼睛，想象一些令人兴奋的事情。比如吃饼干。比如愚弄罗兹。比如救小松饼。 一股能量波穿过我。 我的头开始旋转。我的心跳加速。越来越快，越来越快。 我打了个喷嚏。“阿嚏!”
