What kind of monster did Nelly meet this time?
The two monsters left Nelly with Lump and went to have some fun.
“Be back by 8:30,” said Nelly.
At 8:15, the two monsters returned with a big stick of pink candy floss(棉花糖) in their hands.
“This is for you,” said Lump’s mum. “We’ve been to the fair. We’ve had a super time.”
“I’ve had a super time too,” said Nelly, kissing Lump on both foreheads(额头，前额).
The next evening, Nelly’s phone rang again.
“Hello,” said Nelly.
“Hellope,” said a sucking, thwucking voice.
“Can you monster-sit for us, too, please?” said the monster from Number 93.
“I’d love to!” said Nelly. “I’ll be round at 7:15.”
At 7:15 Nelly knocked on the door of Number 93. The door opened and a purple, rubbery(橡胶似的，有弹性的) head poked out.
“Are you Nelly the monster-sitter?” asked the monster with a sucker thwuck.
“That’s me!” said Nelly. “Can I come in?”
The purple, rubbery monster opened the door and Nelly went inside to meet her purple, thwuckery husband.
They had thwuckery, sucker twins.
“How can you tell the difference?” asked Nelly.
“Blotch has a tiny, orange birth mark(胎记) behind her fourth ear,” said the monster mum lovingly. “And if you look closely, Bog’s fourth eye is slightly greener.”
“I’ll remember that!” said Nelly. “You go and have fun. Be back by nine o’clock.”
Stay tuned!
