《The Prank That Came Back Around》封面

Enzo loves playing small jokes on his classmates. Layla is his favorite target.

恩佐喜欢跟同学开小玩笑。蕾拉是他最爱捉弄的对象。

On Monday, Enzo hides a rubber spider in Layla's backpack. She screams when she finds it at lunch.

星期一,恩佐在蕾拉的背包里藏了一只橡胶蜘蛛。午饭时她发现了,吓得尖叫起来。

"That was a good one," Layla says, laughing. "But I'll get you back."

“这个玩笑不错,”蕾拉笑着说,“不过我会报复你的。”

Enzo doesn't believe her. "You never win our joke wars," he says. "You're too nice."

恩佐不信。“你在我们的玩笑大战里从来没赢过,”他说,“你太善良了。”

Layla just smiles and says nothing. She spends the whole week planning something.

蕾拉只是笑了笑,什么也没说。她花了整整一个星期在策划一件事。

On Friday, Enzo opens his locker and something falls out. Hundreds of small paper stars cover the floor.

星期五,恩佐打开储物柜,有东西掉了出来。数不清的小纸星星撒了一地。

"What is this?" he asks, staring at the mess. A note falls out too: "Have a colorful day! — Layla."

“这是什么?”他盯着一地狼藉问。一张便条也掉了出来:“祝你有缤纷的一天!——蕾拉。”

His classmates walk by and laugh at the sight. Enzo picks up star after star and puts them in his bag.

同学们路过,看到这一幕都笑了。恩佐把星星一颗一颗地捡起来,放进书包里。

"Okay, that's actually pretty good," he admits. "How long did this take you?"

“好吧,这个还真不错,”他承认道,“你花了多长时间?”

"Three days," Layla says proudly. "I cut every single star myself."

“三天,”蕾拉得意地说,“每一颗星星都是我自己剪的。”

Enzo shakes his head and smiles. "Fine, you win this round," he says. "But I'm already planning my next one."

恩佐摇摇头,笑了。“好吧,这一局你赢了,”他说,“不过我已经在策划下一次了。”
