‘Oh, no!’ Mrs Weston came hurrying over. She caught her leg on Trudy’s chair and laddered her tights.
在星期五下午，七级有一节美术课。这是他们最喜欢的课本周。每个人都期待着它。除了特鲁迪哈勃。特鲁迪有肘部伸出来，把东西打翻。她的双手大而笨拙的。她的脚那么大，她总是绊倒的东西。当她走进教室抢梅森说，“看了，麻烦来了！'这是罗布开玩笑的。他叫她“麻烦”，因为它听起来像她的两名特鲁迪哈勃放在一起。其他的孩子笑了。特鲁迪微笑，假装她不介意。但她没有头脑。她有很多。韦斯顿太太说，“坐
下，特鲁迪。让丽莎给你的水瓶和一些颜料。”特鲁迪知道为什么韦斯顿太太要她坐下来。韦斯顿夫人被她的老师三个月了。她看到发生了什么事时，特鲁迪想做的艺术。它始终是一个灾难！丽莎吉布斯拿来纸和油漆和刷子。她把它们放在桌子上她与特鲁迪在一起。接下来，她装满水的罐子，把那特鲁迪。之前她坐了下来，她把她的椅子尽可能远离特鲁迪。特鲁迪希望她能更像丽莎。丽莎从不把东西打翻。她有小的手和脚，褐色的卷发。特鲁迪的头发是稻草作为直。现在，今天，”韦斯顿太太说，“我想让你帮我画一个怪物。你能想到的最可怕的怪物。”“噢，伟大的！“七班喜欢画的怪物。特鲁迪决定开始用眼睛。眼睛是任何怪物最可怕的部分。她把刷红漆。然后她做了两个大的红圈在纸上。然后两个大的黄色圆圈。然后两个大绿圈。但它不像一个怪物。它看起来更像是两组交通灯。她瞥了一眼丽莎的照片。丽莎画了一幅美丽的绿色巨龙口中喷吐
