22、 never had to go to school again. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up from her seat. Her elbow knocked a womans hat right over her eyes. She got off the bus and ran indoors. As soon as she opened the door she knew something was wrong. The house was too quiet. Not a sound from the kitche

23、n. Not a sound in the hall. Mum? she called. Im upstairs, Trudy. Mums voice sounded strange, all hoarse and croaky. Trudy went upstairs two-at-a-time. She opened the bedroom door. Mum lay in bed, holding a box of paper hankies. Ive got an awful cold, she said. Dont come too close or you might catch

24、it. Okay. Trudy stayed near the door. Shall I make you a mug of tea? Mum said quickly, No, thanks. Ill wait till your dad gets home. Trudy sighed. She knew why Mum didnt want her to make any tea. She was afraid Trudy would spill it coming up the stairs. Whats that? Trudy asked eagerly. Take a messag

25、e to Mrs Willow. Tell her I shant be well enough to come to work tomorrow. Mum blew her nose into a paper hanky. Shes a very old lady. I dont want to give her my cold. Trudy turned to the door. Thanks. Oh, but Trudy- Trudy stopped. Yes, Mum? Mrs willows house is full of beautiful things. I have to b

26、e very, very careful not to break anything. So, if she asks you to come in, youd better say no. Trudy sighed. Yes, Mum. She went downstairs again and ran along the crowded street. Oops, sorry, she said as she bumped into a passer-by. Luckily she didnt have far to go. Mrs willow lived in a tall, grac

27、eful old house. Trudy knocked on the door and waited. She heard the tap-tap of a stick coming from inside. The door opened. There stood an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes. Although she walked with a stick, she was tall and graceful, like her house. Hello, Mrs Willow, said Trudy. Im Trud

28、y Hubble. My mums your home help. She wont be able to come tomorrow. Shes got a cold. Im sorry to hear that. What she needs is my special cold cure. Come inside and Ill give you some. Mrs Willow opened the door wider. Trudy remembered her mothers warning, Ill wait here, she said. Nonsense, you can w

29、ait in my sitting room. Mrs Willow turned and started to walk down the hall, her stick tap-tapping on the floor. Oh, help! thought Trudy. What should she do? come in, come in, called Mrs Willow. Trudy took a deep breath and stepped inside. I hate Art, Trudy thought as she went home on the bus. And I

30、 hate school! She wished she never had to go to school again.我恨的艺术，特鲁迪认为她坐公车回家。我恨学校！她希望她从来没有去上学了。她房子外面停了车。她从座位上跳了起来。她的肘敲了一个女人的帽子就在她的眼睛。她下了车，跑回家。当她打开门，她知道什么是错的。房子太安静了。从厨房里没有声音。在大厅里，没有声音。“妈妈？“她叫。我上楼去，特鲁迪。”妈妈的声音听起来怪怪的，所有的沙哑低沉而沙哑的。特鲁迪上楼两。她打开卧室的门。妈妈躺在床上，拿着一盒纸手帕。“我有一个可怕的寒冷，”她说。不要走得太近，或者你会抓住它。”“好吧。”特鲁迪在门附近

31、。“我给你一杯茶吗？妈妈很快地说，“不，谢谢。我会等到你爸爸回来。”特鲁迪叹了口气。她知道为什么妈妈不想让她做任何茶。她害怕特鲁迪会把它走上楼梯。“那是什么？特鲁迪急切地问道。“带信给柳夫人。告诉她我不足够好，明天就可以来上班。”妈妈擤了擤鼻子成纸手帕。她是一个老太太。我不想我冷的时候给她。”特鲁迪转身向门口。“谢谢。哦，但是特鲁迪-特鲁迪停下来。“是的，妈妈？'“夫人柳家充满了美好的东西。我必须非常，非常小心，不要破坏任何东西。所以，如果她问你，你最好说不，”特鲁迪叹了口气。“是的，妈妈。”她下楼又沿着拥挤的街道。“哎呀，对不起，”她说，她碰到了一个路人。幸运的是她没有走远。柳夫人住

32、在一个高大，优雅的老房子。特鲁迪敲了敲门，等着。她听到从里面传出来的一根棍子丝锥。门开了。那里站着一个白头发和锐利的蓝眼睛的老太太。虽然她拄着拐杖走路，她身材优美，喜欢她的房子。“你好，柳夫人，”特鲁迪说。“我是特鲁迪哈勃。我的妈妈是你家的帮助。她明天来不了。她感冒了。“听到这个消息我很难过。她需要的是我的特别的感冒药。进来吧，我会给你一些。“夫人柳打开门宽。特鲁迪记得她妈妈的警告，我会在这里等着，”她说。Nonsense, you can wait in my sitting room. Mrs Willow turned and started to walk down the hall,

33、 her stick tap-tapping on the floor.“胡说，你可以在我的起居室等。“夫人柳转身走下大厅，在地板上利用她把水龙头。哦，帮助！特鲁迪想。她应该做什么？“进来，进来，”夫人柳。特鲁迪深吸了一口气，走进去。Chapter 3 Trudy looked round Mrs Willows sitting room. She saw at once why Mum had been worried. There were beautiful things everywhere-pretty china figures and little glass animals,

34、delicate tea sets and glass bowls. But the most beautiful thing of all stood alone on a little table. It was a large green-and-white vase with a dragon painted on the side. Trudy stood very, very still. She was afraid to move in case she knocked something over. Stiff as a statue, she kept her elbows

35、 pressed to her sides. Mrs Willow came back into the room. Ah, I see youre looking at my Chinese vase, she said. Its very, very old. Do you like it? Trudy nodded. Mrs Willow held out a small brown bottle. Heres my cold cure, she said. Dont ask me whats in it. Its an old family secret. But it always

36、works. Trudy took the bottle. She couldn't speak because she was holding her breath. Mrs Willow looked hard at her. Is something wrong? Trudy shook her head. But youve gone quite red in the face. Are you sure youre all right? Trudy could hold her breath no longer. She let it out in a long, long

37、sigh. Im fine, she said. Thanks for the cold cure, Mrs Willow. I must go home now. Mrs Willow looked sad. Cant you stay for a cup of tea? No, I-I have to go. Trudy couldn't wait to get away. The room was too full of beautiful things. Any minute now there would be a disaster, she felt sure. She t

38、urned to the door. Something furry brushed against her leg. Trudy jumped backwards. The furry thing gave a loud YEOWLL! It leaped on to the piano. Trudy jumped again, sideways. Her elbow hit the green-and-white vase. It began to sway. She watched in horror as it rocked from side to sideto side to si

39、deto side to side and It fell to the floor and broke into little pieces. DISASTER. Nobody moved. The cat-who had caused all the trouble-sat on top of the piano. It swished its tail. Then Trudy said, Oh, Im sorry. Im really sorry. Its because Im clumsy. Thats why I didn't want to came into your h

40、ouse. I knew something would get broken. It always does when Im around. Its all right, Mrs Willow said calmly. Surprised, Trudy stared at her. Not a bit. You see, that vase has been broken before. It had to be mended then. And do you know who broke it? Mrs Willow smiled. I did, when I was just about

41、 your age. Yes, I used to be clumsy too. Trudy couldnt believe it. Mrs Willow seemed so tall and graceful. She didn't look the sort of person who would knock things over. You couldn't have been as clumsy as I am, she said. Mrs Willow took a photo from the top of the piano. Do you see this gi

42、rl playing tennis? she asked. Well, that was me. Trudy looked at the photo. The girl playing tennis was tall and thin with untidy hair. She had a wide grin on her face. Mrs Willow laughed. I was a real ugly duckling, wasnt I? But do you remember what happened to the ugly duckling? Trudy nodded. It g

43、rew up to be a swan. But I don't think I shall. Ill just grow up to been ugly duck. Not if you do as I did. You have to keep telling yourself that inside, where it matters, youre really a swan. Trudy said doubtfully, Im a swan. It does work, you know. Its a kind of magic. Say it again. This time

44、, as if you really believe it. Trudy cleared her throat. She said it louder. Mrs Willow smiled. Now help me clear up these bits of old vase. Then well have some tea. They drank tea from china cups. They ate chocolate cake off delicate plates. And Trudy didn't break another thing. She ran home mu

45、ttering, Im a swan, Im a swan, and she didn't bump into a single person. So perhaps it was a kind of magic, after all. But what would happen tomorrow, when she went to school. 特鲁迪环顾四周夫人柳的起居室。她立刻看出，为什么妈妈担心了。有美丽的东西到处都是漂亮的中国人物和小玻璃动物，精致的茶具和玻璃碗。但是，最美的事情独自站在一张小桌子。这是一个大的绿色和白色的龙画的一边花瓶。特鲁迪站在非常，非常仍然。她不敢动弹

46、，万一她撞倒了。硬如一尊雕像，她肘部压在身体两侧。柳夫人回到房间。“啊，我知道你在看我的中国花瓶，她说。“这是非常，非常老。你喜欢它吗？特鲁迪点了点头。柳夫人伸出一只棕色的小瓶子。我的感冒药，”她说。别问我这是什么。这是一个旧的家庭秘密。但它总是工作。”特鲁迪拿了瓶。她无法说话，因为她屏住呼吸。她望着柳夫人。“出什么事了吗？特鲁迪摇了摇头。但是你的脸很红了。你肯定你没事吗？'特鲁迪屏住呼吸不再。她让它在一个长长的，长长的叹息。“我很好，”她说。“治愈感冒的谢谢，夫人柳。我现在必须回家了。”柳夫人看起来很伤心。“你不能留下来喝杯茶吗？“不，我要去。”特鲁迪迫不及待地离开。房间太美好。现在

47、任何一分钟会有灾难发生，她确信。她转身向门口。毛茸茸的东西擦过她的腿。特鲁迪向后跳。毛茸茸的东西给了一个响亮的喵！它跳到钢琴。特鲁迪跳了起来，一边。她的肘部击中了绿色和白色的花瓶。它开始摇摆。她惊恐地看着它左右摇晃.侧侧.侧侧和它掉到地上摔成了碎片。灾难。没有人动。谁导致了所有的麻烦坐在钢琴上的猫。它嗖嗖地摆动着尾巴。特鲁迪接着说，“哦，我很抱歉。我真的很抱歉。这是因为我的笨拙。这就是为什么我不想进了你的家。我知道事情会被打破。它总是在我身边。”好吧，“夫人柳平静地说。惊讶，特鲁迪盯着她。Not a bit. You see, that vase has been broken before.

48、 It had to be mended then. And do you know who broke it? Mrs Willow smiled. I did, when I was just about your age. Yes, I used to be clumsy too.“一点也不。你看，那个花瓶被打破之前。它已被修补然后。你知道谁打破的？“夫人柳笑了。“我没有，我只是在你的年纪。是的，我以前是笨拙的过。”Trudy couldnt believe it. Mrs Willow seemed so tall and graceful. She didn't look t

49、he sort of person who would knock things over.特鲁迪简直不敢相信。柳夫人显得那么高大优美。她不看的人谁会打翻东西的那种。You couldn't have been as clumsy as I am, she said.“你不可能是那样笨拙的我，”她说。Mrs Willow took a photo from the top of the piano. Do you see this girl playing tennis? she asked. Well, that was me. Trudy looked at the photo.柳

50、夫人的钢琴前拍了一张照片。“你看到这个女孩打网球吗？“她问。“嗯，是我。”特鲁迪看着照片。打网球的那个女孩长得又高又瘦，头发蓬乱。她脸上有一个大大的笑容。柳夫人笑了。“我是一个真正的丑小鸭，不是吗？但是你记住的丑小鸭，发生了什么事？特鲁迪点了点头。“它长大成为一只天鹅。但我不认为我会。我就长大了丑陋的鸭子。”“如果你不照我说的做。你要告诉自己里面，重要的地方，你真的是一只天鹅。”特鲁迪疑惑地说，“我是一只天鹅。”“它不工作，你知道的。这是一种神奇的魔力。再说一遍。这一次，如果你真的相信它。”特鲁迪清了清嗓子。她大声说。柳夫人笑了。现在帮我清理这些老旧的花瓶。然后我们会有一些茶。”他们喝了杯茶从

51、中国。他们吃着巧克力蛋糕了精致的盘子。特鲁迪没有把另一件事。她跑回家嘟囔着，“我是一只天鹅，我是一只天鹅，和她没有撞到一个人。也许这是一种魔力，毕竟。但明天会发生什么，当她去上学。Chapter 4 Next morning Mums cold was much better. Thats because of Mrs Willows secret family cure, Trudy said. It tastes horrible, said Mum. But it seems to work. Trudy was glad the cold cure had worked. It pro

52、ved that Mrs Willow knew what she was talking about. And if the cold cure worked, then the swan cure might work as well. She couldnt wait to try it out. On the way to school she tired thinking herself a swan. She glided on to the bus and sat down slowly. She didnt trip over anyones feet. She didnt k

53、nock anyones hat off. When the bus stopped, she rose slowly from her seat. She stepped on to the pavement. It was surprising how different she felt, so tall and graceful. In the school playground some children stood looking up into the chestnut tree. Look out, here comes Trouble! called Rob Mason wh

54、en he saw her. Trudy pretended not to hear him. She saw that Lisa Gibbs was in tears. Whats the matter? she asked. Its Lisas kite, said Rob. Its got stuck up the tree. Rob did it, Lisa said, wiping her eyes. He let go and it flew up into the tree. Rob looked a bit ashamed of himself. Stupid old kite

55、, he muttered. Its a beautiful kite! said Lisa. I got it for my birthday. It was my best present. She began to sob again. Dont cry, Trudy said kindly. Ill get it down for you. Im good at climbing trees. Lisa looked horrified. No, youll tear it! Its only made of paper. Cant somebody else get it down?

56、 But nobody else wanted to climb the tree. Trudy jumped up and grabbed the lowest branch. She swung herself up and began to climb. Be careful, called Lisa. Its a special Chinese kite. It cost a lot of money. Like the vase, Trudy though, and nearly stopped. But then she thought of Mrs Willow. Im a sw

57、an, Im a swan, she muttered. And she started climbing again. She climbed higher and higher until she reached the kite. The kite was caught on a sharp twig. It was made of thin, silky paper and had a green dragon painted on it. Dont rush, she told herself. Swans never rush. At last she managed to free the kite. But now she had to climb down again using only one hand. It took her ages, but she didn't rush. She saw that Mrs Weston had joined the crowd below. But she still didn't rush. Very, very carefully she swung herself down to
