Story
The Laboratory
实验室
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.
米亚的爸爸有一间实验室，但她并不知道那里面有什么，因为她爸爸每次进去之后都会把门锁上。米亚知道爸爸是在工作，但爸爸从未告诉她是什么工作。
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，米亚经过实验室门口时停下了脚步。她心想：“真想知道爸爸在做什么疯狂的实验。”突然，实验室传来一阵很邪恶的笑声，声音很大。米亚被吓坏了，赶紧快步走回了自己的房间。
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，米亚的朋友利兹来家里做客。她将前一晚的所见所闻告诉了利兹。“噢，太恐怖了。”利兹说道。
Why don't we see what is in there? Liz asked. "It will be a fun adventure!"
“要不我们进去看看里面到底有什么吧？”利兹问道。“肯定会很刺激！”
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."
米亚对此感到不安，但还是同意了。一如往常，米亚爸爸把门锁上了。她们一直等到她爸爸出来去吃晚饭。“他没有锁门！”利兹说。“进去看看。”
The laboratory was dark. The girls walked down the stairs carefully. Mia smelled strange chemicals. What terrible thing was her father creating?
实验室里一片漆黑。两个女孩小心翼翼走下楼梯。米亚闻到了一股奇怪的化学品的味道。她爸爸究竟在研究什么可怕的东西呢？
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，传来了一阵邪恶的笑声。比前一晚米亚听到的还要吓人。要是有怪物要把她们吃掉可怎么办？米亚不得不大声呼救。
Mia's father ran into the room and turned on the lights. "Oh, no," he said. "You must have learned my secret."
米亚爸爸跑了过来并把灯打开了。“噢，不，”他说。“我的小秘密都被你们知道了。”
Your monster tried to kill us, Mia said.
“你研制的怪物想要吃掉我们，”米亚说道。
"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？”爸爸问道。“你是说这个？”他看了看手里漂亮的玩偶。玩偶笑了，但笑声却又并不可怕了。“这是我给你做的生日礼物。我本想等你生日那天再给你的，但现在就送给你吧。希望你能喜欢！”
