Story
The Laboratory
實驗室
Mia's father had a laboratory, but she had no idea what was in it. Her dad always closed and locked the door when he went in. She knew that he used it to do projects for work. He never told Mia what these projects were.
米亞的爸爸有一間實驗室，但她並不知道那裡面有什麼，因為她爸爸每次進去之後都會把門鎖上。米亞知道爸爸是在工作，但爸爸從未告訴她是什麼工作。
One night, Mia approached the door to the laboratory. She stopped and thought, "I wonder what crazy experiment he is doing now." Suddenly, she heard a loud noise. It sounded like an evil laugh. The noise scared her, so she walked quickly back to her room.
有一天晚上，米亞經過實驗室門口時停下了腳步。她心想：“真想知道爸爸在做什麼瘋狂的實驗。”突然，實驗室傳來一陣很邪惡的笑聲，聲音很大。米亞被嚇壞了，趕緊快步走回了自己的房間。
The next night, her friend Liz came to her house. When Liz arrived, Mia told her about the night before. "Oh, it was terrible," she said.
第二天晚上，米亞的朋友利茲來家裡做客。她將前一晚的所見所聞告訴了利茲。“噢，太恐怖了。”利茲說道。
Why don't we see what is in there? Liz asked. "It will be a fun adventure!"
“要不我們進去看看裡面到底有什麼吧？”利茲問道。“肯定會很刺激！”
Mia felt nervous about going into her father's laboratory, but she agreed. As always, the door was locked. They waited until Mia's father left the laboratory to eat dinner. "He didn't lock the door!" Liz said. "Let's go."
米亞對此感到不安，但還是同意了。一如往常，米亞爸爸把門鎖上了。她們一直等到她爸爸出來去吃晚飯。“他沒有鎖門！”利茲說。“進去看看。”
The laboratory was dark. The girls walked down the stairs carefully. Mia smelled strange chemicals. What terrible thing was her father creating?
實驗室裡一片漆黑。兩個女孩小心翼翼走下樓梯。米亞聞到了一股奇怪的化學品的味道。她爸爸究竟在研究什麼可怕的東西呢？
Suddenly, they heard an evil laugh. It was even worse than the one Mia heard the night before. What if a monster was going to kill them? Mia had to do something. She shouted for help.
突然，傳來了一陣邪惡的笑聲。比前一晚米亞聽到的還要嚇人。要是有怪物要把她們吃掉可怎麼辦？米亞不得不大聲呼救。
Mia's father ran into the room and turned on the lights. "Oh, no," he said. "You must have learned my secret."
米亞爸爸跑了過來並把燈打開了。“噢，不，”他說。“我的小秘密都被你們知道了。”
Your monster tried to kill us, Mia said.
“你研製的怪物想要吃掉我們，”米亞說道。
"Monster?" he asked. "You mean this?" He had a pretty doll in his hands. The doll laughed. The laugh didn't sound so evil anymore. "I made this for your birthday. I wanted to give it to you then, but you can have it now. I hope you like it!"
“怪物？”爸爸問道。“你是說這個？”他看了看手裡漂亮的玩偶。玩偶笑了，但笑聲卻又並不可怕了。“這是我給你做的生日禮物。我本想等你生日那天再給你的，但現在就送給你吧。希望你能喜歡！”
