0:09 After a while, Cy got tired of lowering the bucket 过了一会儿，赛伊厌倦了往下放水桶。
0:14 The others wanted to give up, too 其他人也想放弃了。
0:17 Cy let out a deep breath 赛伊长长地呼了一口气。
0:21 " That's it. There's nothing else down there," “行了。下面没别的东西了，”
0:24 he said, emptying a final bucket load 他一边说着，一边倒空了最后一桶东西。
0:28 " Wait," cried Panther “等等，”潘瑟喊道。
0:30 " Look at this!" “看看这个！”
0:32 She picked out an unusual shell covered in mud 她从满是泥巴的东西里拣出一个奇特的贝壳。
0:36 " What is it?" Jane asked, looking closer “这是什么？”简凑近看，问道。
0:40 Panther wiped off some of the mud and held it up 潘瑟擦掉了一些泥巴，把它举了起来。
0:45 It was beautiful 它可真漂亮。
0:47 " I think it's a seashell," she replied “我觉得这是个贝壳，”她回答。
0:51 She began wiping off the rest of the mud 她开始擦掉剩下的泥巴。
0:54 Suddenly the shell began to giggle 突然，贝壳咯咯地笑了起来。
0:58 Panther was so shocked she almost dropped it 潘瑟吓了一大跳，贝壳差点掉在地上。
1:01 " It laughed!" Bobby shouted loudly “它笑了！”鲍比大声喊道。
1:05 " Something's inside." He knocked on the shell “里面有东西。”他敲了敲贝壳。
1:09 " Ouch! Stop that!" the shell cried “哎哟！别敲了！”贝壳叫道。
1:14 The children all looked at each other 孩子们面面相觑。
1:17 Then the most amazing thing happened 接着，最令人惊奇的事情发生了。
1:20 A creature poked its head out from the shell 一个生物从壳里探出头来。
1:23 It had the face of a seahorse 它长着一张海马的脸。
1:26 On its neck and back were shimmery fins that opened and closed 脖子和背上有闪闪发光的鳍，一张一合。
1:31 As its head circled left and right, the fins glowed and shone 当它的头左右转动时，鳍就闪闪发亮。
1:37 For the first time in their lives, the children were speechless 孩子们有生以来第一次，惊得说不出话来。
1:41 " Well?" the creature asked in an irritated voice “嗯？”那生物用不耐烦的声音问道。
1:46 Finally, Panther spoke up 终于，潘瑟开了口。
1:48 " What are you?" “你是什么东西？”
1:50 The creature gazed at them 那生物凝视着他们。
1:53 " Let me get this straight," it began “我先搞清楚，”它开口道。
1:56 " You throw things on me and wake me up." “你们朝我扔东西，把我吵醒了。”
1:59 It glared at Jane 它瞪着简。
2:01 " You start taking away my things." “你开始拿走我的东西。”
2:04 It looked at Cy 它看向赛。
2:06 " You tickle me." “你挠我痒痒。”
2:08 It stared at Panther 它盯着潘瑟。
2:10 " Then you bang on my shell!" “然后你还猛敲我的壳！”
2:13 Bobby looked down at the ground 博比低头看着地面。
2:15 " And now, you tell me that you don't even know what I am?" “现在，你们居然告诉我，你们连我是什么都不知道？”
2:20 The children stared at the ground in embarrassment 孩子们窘迫地盯着地面。
2:24 " We're sorry," apologized Jane “对不起，”简道歉说。
2:28 " We didn't know you were in the well." “我们不知道你在井里。”
2:31 The creature didn't say anything 那个生物什么也没说。
2:34 After a while, its fins stopped glowing 过了一会儿，它的鳍不再发光了。
2:38 " Apology accepted," it said finally “接受道歉，”它终于说道。
2:42 " But we really don't know what you are," Cy added quickly “但我们真不知道你是什么，”赛连忙补充道。
2:47 " I am Huit des Orlanes," it announced “我是惠特·德·奥兰斯，”它宣布道。
2:50 " The eighth of my kind of the sea." “海中我族的第八代。”
2:54 " Wow," the children said in unison “哇，”孩子们异口同声地说。
2:58 " But you can call me Huey," the creature smiled “但你们可以叫我休伊，”那生物微笑着说。
3:02 It was clear from the children's blank faces that they still did not know what he was 从孩子们茫然的表情可以清楚看出，他们仍然不知道他是什么。
3:08 " Do you know what an Orlane is?" he asked “你们知道奥兰斯是什么吗？”他问道。
3:12 " Not really," Jane admitted for them all “不太清楚，”简代表大家承认。
3:17 Huey closed his eyes dramatically 休伊夸张地闭上了眼睛。
3:19 His head turned quickly from side to side 他的头快速地从一侧转向另一侧。
3:23 " At one time," he said," we Orlanes were the best-known mystic creatures of the sea." “曾几何时，”他说，“我们奥兰斯是海洋中最有名的神秘生物。”
3:30 " You mean, you're a fairy?" interrupted Bobby “你是说，你是个仙子？”鲍比打断道。
3:34 " A fairy? Oh, my, oh, my!" “仙子？哦，天哪，哦，天哪！”
3:38 Huey's fins started to glow again as they opened and closed quickly 休伊的鳍又开始发光，快速地一开一合。
3:44 " Please don't be upset, Huey," said Jane “请别生气，休伊，”简说。
3:48 " Bobby didn't mean to call you a fairy." “鲍比不是有意叫你仙子的。”
3:52 " All right then," Huey said calmly “那好吧，”休伊平静地说。
3:56 " Orlanes have the gift to grant others whatever they want," he continued “奥兰斯有赋予别人任何他们想要的东西的天赋，”他继续说道。
4:02 " You mean you can make wishes come true?" Bobby asked “你是说你能让愿望成真？”鲍比问。
4:07 Huey nodded, and the other children joined Bobby in shouts of delight 休伊点了点头，其他孩子也加入鲍比，欢呼起来。
4:12 " However," Huey said in a loud voice “不过，”休伊大声说道。
4:16 " There are two things you must promise." “你们必须答应两件事。”
4:19 " We'll do anything to get our wish!" Jane clapped her hands “我们什么都愿意做，只要能实现愿望！”简拍着手说。
4:25 Huey continued." First," he said," you can only make one wish a day 休伊继续说道。“第一，”他说，“你们每天只能许一个愿。”
4:31 And second, after making your wish, you must return me to the well." 第二，许完愿后，你们必须把我送回井里。”
4:38 " That doesn't sound too hard." Cy laughed “听起来不太难嘛。”赛伊笑道。
4:42 " By the way," Huey smiled," at sunset, everything returns to the way it was." “对了，”休伊微笑道，“日落时，一切都会恢复原状。”
4:50 " You mean, our wish is true only for one day?" asked Bobby in a disappointed voice “你是说，我们的愿望只能成真一天？”鲍比失望地问。
4:58 " Yes," Huey replied, and with that he disappeared back into his shell “是的，”休伊回答，说完他就缩回壳里消失了。
