Houses are very different. Some are huge and have gold swimming pools. Pop stars live in those. Some are in rows with a

brick wall at one end and overlook a pie factory. Franklin Gates lives in one of those. Number three, Stanley Street, to be

exact.

Some people might think, “I want a house with a swimming pool. “But not Franklin.

He loved living on Stanley Street. Everyone was friendly. All his mates were there and the smells from the pie

, delicious! There was just one problem. Franklin ’mum and dad wanted to move. His mum was expecting

twins and they needed another bedroom."

I don't mind sharing mine, “Franklin said."

Babies cry all night."

"I'll wear earplugs."

But his parents wouldn't listen."

This house is TOO small, “said his mum.

Next day, there was a “for Sale “sign stuck by Franklin's door.

Franklin and his best friend Josh stared at the words of doom.

"What am I going to do,Josh?"said Franklin.

Josh frowned. “Has your house got problems?Number forty's got problems and no one wants to buy it."

Franklin stared at number looked all right to him."What kind of problems?"he asked.

"Oh,mice and damp and really horrible wallpaper

Franklin sighed. His house was warm and friendly and it had just been painted,worse luck.

Mrs cox lived next door to Franklin in a little house that had once been the corner then,she called

out,"Hello, "

Before she could finish,her dog Zack leaped out of her house.

He jumped up at the boys,trying to lick their faces.

"Yuk!Down,Zack!"Josh giggled.

Mrs Cox told Zack to get down."He hasn't been out all day.I've been a bit wobbly,"she said,tapping her legs.

"No worries,"Franklin didn't mind taking Zack loved him to bits.

"I'm sorry you're moving,"Mrs. Cox said.

"So am I,"Franklin grumbled.

Mrs. Cox patted Franklin on the arm."Never house might take months to sell."

For a week,it looked as if Mrs Cox was a few people came to look at the house and none of them wanted to

buy in's mum stroked her growing tummy and looked fed up.

Upstairs,Franklin danced around with his underpants on his head in he was no one would

buy his house.

But a few days later_it must have been Thursday,because the smells from the pie factory were chicken and rhubarb

Franklin came home from school to find a man in the name was Mr Bragg and was interested in buying the

house.

Mr Bragg wasn't interested in glared at Franklin and trod on his toes, without saying sorry.

Franklin's heart sank when Mr Bragg said he wanted to come back for a second visit."

Saturday morning,ten o'clock sharp,"he said.

2 Franklin makes a plan

That night,Franklin had a bad Bragg was sniggering at him,"You wait and see,boy.I'm going to have your

house!"

Then Franklin woke up."No,you won't,you tatty toe-cruncher! “he said angrily.

At school,Franklin asked Josh what he was doing on Saturday.

Josh shrugged. “Nothing much."

"Does your big sister still work in the fish shop?"asked Franklin.

Josh nodded.

",I've got a job "

Franklin cupped his hand over Josh's ear and began whispering his plan.

When Josh heard what Franklin wanted,his mouth opened wide enough to swallow a dentist. "I can't do that!"he cried."I'll

get into trouble!"

"You have to!It's my only chance,"Franklin begged.

In the end,Josh wasn't happy,but he agreed to do what Franklin wanted.

3 Something is fishy

On Saturday morning,Franklin's mum was in a flap. "Something smells horrible and I don't know what it is,"she

looked around in a panic."Your dad's outside checking the drains."

Franklin smiled. He know what the smell was!

Mr. and Mrs. Gates were still outside when Mr. Bragg rang the doorbell. Franklin let him into the house

Mr Bragg stopped and sniffed the air."Ugh,what's that disgusting smell?"he asked.

"It's factory does fish pie on Saturdays,"Franklin said.

Mr Bragg frowned. “Isn’t the factory shut on Saturdays?"

" every 's why we call this Stinky Street.D'you want to see my bedroom?"

Upstairs,Franklin opened his bedroom Bragg pointed to a huge,dark patch on the wall."What's that?"he asked.

"Damp,"Franklin said."Mum made me cover it with a poster last time."

"Hmm,"Mr Bragg snorted."Mind the mouse poo,"Franklin grinned,pointing to a pile of brown lumps."It gets stuck in the

carpet."

"Urgh!"Mr Bragg pulled a face.

"That's nothing,"smiled Franklin."Wait till you see what the rats do."

At that moment,his mum arrived,"Hello,"she smiled."How's it doing?"

"Your son was telling me about the rats,"Mr Bragg said,icily.

"Rats?"

"Oh,no!"Franklin yelled,pointing out of the window.

"What is it?"asked Mr Bragg.

"That horrible Josh Barratt's coming!Quick!Hide!'yelled Franklin."

Hide from Josh?Don't be silly,"Franklin's mum Franklin ducked behind his curtains.

"Josh is a lovely boy!"Franklin's mum said, amazed.

But Josh banged on the front shouted football even burped through the letterbox.

"Why "Mr. Bragg gasped as Josh ran off.

"Er...would you like to see the bathroom?"Mrs Gates asked,but Mr Bragg shocked his head.

"You're joking.I'm not staying here another minute."

He ran downstairs and out of the door.

4 Mrs Cox joins in

Mr and Mrs Gates were very angry.

"You'd better explain what’s going on!"they told Franklin.

"Er...I-"

Just then,there was a loud banging.

"It's coming from Mrs. Cox's house,"Franklin’s mum said, glaring at her son."Fancy getting an old lady mixed up in

this!"

"I didn't,"Franklin cried."I really didn't!"

The banging grew louder and Zack started ing was very wrong.

Mr. abd Mrs. Gates and Franklin dashed into Mrs. Cox's house.

She was lying by her stairs,where she had in helped his dad lift her carefully onto a Gates wanted

to take her to hospital but Mrs. Cox wouuldn't go.

"I'm not leaving Zack," she they rang her son Eric,and he came to help her.

Mrs Cox was still in big ran back home and took the fish out of the back of the radiator.(Josh's sister had

given it to him.)

He vacuumed up the chocolate drops on the carpet in his bedroom.

Then he dried the lemonade on his bedroom said sorry to Josh for getting him into trouble, last,he said

sorry to his mum and mum was very upset.

"We know you love Stanley all do-"

"-But there won't be space for all of us,when the twins arrive,"his dad said firmly."We have got to move to a bigger

house."

"I know,"Franklin said,sadly.

Weeks passed but no one came to look at the was coming and Franklin began to feel

wanted to move in winter,did they?

But one day,Franklin came home from school to find creepy Mr Bragg in the kitchen 'd found out about

Franklin's tricks and he still wanted their house.

"Those Gates have got to move,"Mr Bragg said to himself."I'll get their house cheap!"He smiled slyly and gave

Franklin's mum a piece of paper with a price on was a very low price.

"Let me know tomorrow if I can buy it,"Mr Bragg smirked."Make up your one else wants it."

"We'll think about it,"Mrs Gates said,going pale.

"Do we have to sell to HIM?"Franklin cried as soon as he'd gone.

"I expect so,"said his mum.

Franklin was could his mum and dad sell to Mr Bragg?

Even the delicious smell of lamb and bananas coming from the pie factory didn't help."I'm going to take Zack for a

run,"Franklin said."A long Scotland."

"Oh,dear."said his mum.

Mrs Cox took ages to answer the was even slower on her feet since her fall.

‘I was coming round to your house!”Mre Cox beamed.’Is your mum in? I’ve got something to ask her.’

‘Yes,’ said Franklin. He was

Trying to stop being licked to bits by Zack.

‘Bring him back by tea time ,’. Mrs Cox called as he set off with the dog.

‘ I will ‘ Franklin said.

‘I was talking to Zack’,Mrs Cox joked.

When Franklin came back, Mrs Cox was just leaving his house. ‘How was Scotland? ‘she joked.

"Cold, “said Franklin, crossly.

Mrs Cox laughed as if he'd cracked the funniest joke ever."You'd better get inside and warm up,then,"she told

him,grinning.

Franklin felt grumpy."I don't know why Mrs Cox thinks moving house is "He mum was dancing

round the room with-yes-underpants on her head!"What's going on?"he asked.

"Wait and see!"she laughted.

It was Christmas time in Stanley was no "For Sale"sign outside Franklin's d,there were piles of

bricks and cement from the builders.

"That was a great idea of Mrs Cox's,"Josh said."You bought her house and knocked both of your houses together-"

"-So we had one big house,"grinned Franklin.

"Then the old corner shop downstairs was made into a little flat for Mrs Cox and you get lots of bedrooms

"

"...and Mrs Cox and Zack get a safe place downstairs."

"So everybody's happy."

"Except Mr. Bragg, “Franklin grinned. “He’s bought number forty!"

8-11臭街 Stinky Street 翻译

1. 富兰克林有一个问题

这儿的房子都各不相同。有的是带金色游泳池的大房子。明星住在这儿。还有一排排厚厚砖墙的房子，俯瞰着下边的馅饼厂。富兰克林住这里，确切地说，是Stanley 街的三号。

有的人也许会想，我想要带游泳池的房子。但是富兰克林不这么想。

他爱住在Stanley街。每个人都很友好。他的小伙伴们也都在这。还有，馅饼厂的味道，嗯...很香！只有一个问题。富兰克林的妈妈想搬家。他妈妈怀着双胞胎，他们需要再来一个卧室。

“我不介意和我同屋住”，富兰克林说道。

“晚上宝宝一直哭”

“我就带耳机”

但是父母并没有听他的话。

“这个房子太小了”妈妈说。

第二天，富兰克林家门上贴着“出售”标志。

富兰克林和他最好的朋友Josh盯着门上的字。

“我该怎么办，Josh？”富兰克林问道。

Josh皱了皱眉，“你家房子有问题吗？40号就有问题，没人想买”

富兰克林盯着40号。对于他来说，还挺好的。“什么问题呀”他问。

“哦，有老鼠，潮湿，还有特别可怕的壁纸”

富兰克林叹了口气。他家房子温暖，友好，还刚被粉刷过，更不幸。

Cox女士住在富兰克林隔壁的小房子里，它以前是街角商店。那时她叫卖“来看看吧，小伙子们”

还没说完，她的小狗Zack从她房子跃出来。

它朝着男孩子们扑过来，想舔他们的脸。

“呀，下来，Zack”Josh咯咯笑。

Cox女士让狗狗下来。“它一天没出去了，我走路有点晃悠”她，拍着自己的腿说。

“别担心”富兰克林微笑着。他不介意带着它四处转转。他很爱它。

“很难过啊，你要搬家了”Cox女士说。

“我也是啊”富兰克林发着牢骚。

Cox女士拍了他的胳膊。“没事，你家房子也许得几个月后才卖出去呢”

一个星期了，好像，Cox女士说对了。只有几个人来看房，但是没有人想买。富兰克林的妈妈摸着自己变大的肚子，看起来有点厌烦了。

楼上，富兰克林头上顶着裤衩跳舞庆祝。也许他安全了。也许没人想买这个房子。但是几天后，肯定是周四，因为馅饼厂飘出了鸡肉大黄味。富兰克林放学回家，发现厨房有一个男的。他叫Bragg先生，对买他家房子感兴趣。

他对富兰克林不感兴趣。他盯着他，踩了他脚趾，也没道歉。

他说他还要再来看看，富兰克林的心一沉。“周六早上十点吧”，Bragg说。

2.富兰克林有个计划

那天晚上，他做了个梦。Bragg朝他暗笑：“等着瞧吧，我要拥有你家房子了”

富兰克林醒了。“不，你不会的”，他生气地说。

在学校，富兰克林问Josh周六他干要干什么。

Josh耸了耸肩。“没事”

“你姐姐还在鱼店工作吗”富兰克林问。

Josh点头。

“好，听着，这儿又一个工作交给你...”

富兰克林用手捂着Josh的耳朵，开始悄悄说了他的计划。

Josh一听富兰克林想干的，他嘴巴张得很大，要吞下一个牙医了。“我做不到”他喊道，“我会惹麻烦的”

“你必须这么做，这是我唯一的机会”富兰克林乞求。

最后，Josh点头了。他不开心，但是同意了富兰克林。

3. 腥味的东西

周六早上，富兰克林的妈妈说：“什么东西这么难闻，我不知道是什么”。她恐慌地四处看。“你爸爸在外边检查地漏呢”

富兰克林微笑着。他知道这是什么味。

Bragg按门铃时候，Gates夫妇还在外边。富兰克林让他进来了。

他停下来，闻了闻空气，“呃，什么味这么恶心”他问。

“今天周六，周六厂子做鱼肉馅饼”富兰克林说。

Bragg皱着眉头“周六厂子不关门吗”

“不关，每周六都是鱼肉馅饼，所以我们管这里叫臭街，你想看看我的卧室吗”

上了楼，富兰克林打开了他的卧室门。Bragg指着墙上大大黑黑的一片问，“那是什么?”

“潮”富兰克林说，“上次妈妈用海报挡住了”

“哼”Bragg哼了一下。“小心老鼠”富兰克林呲着牙笑，指着棕色的一团。“它卡在地毯里了”

“呃”Bragg先生脸一拉。

“没什么”富兰克林笑着。“等会看看老鼠都干什么”

在那时，妈妈来了。“你好”妈妈微笑着。“还好吗”

“你儿子告诉我老鼠的事”Bragg冷冰冰地说。

“老鼠，什么老鼠”

“哦，不，”富兰克林喊道，指着窗外。

“什么啊”Bragg问。

“可怕的Josh来了，快，藏起来”富兰克林喊道。

“躲josh吗，别傻了”妈妈说。但是富兰克林躲窗帘后了。

“Josh多可爱啊”妈妈吃惊地说。

但是Josh嗙嗙撞前门。他吼着足球歌曲。他甚至还通过信箱发出打嗝声。

“嗯，你想看看浴室吗”妈妈问道，但是Bragg摇了摇头。

“开什么玩笑，我一分钟也不想待了”

他跑到楼下，跑出了门。

女士加入了

爸妈都很生气。

“你最好解释一下发生了什么”他们告诉富兰克林。

“呃，好，我...”

这时，传来大声的嗙嗙声。

“Cox女士来了。”富兰克林妈妈盯着她儿子说。一个老太太卷入这事多好！

“我没有”富兰克林哭喊道，“我真的没有”

嗙嗙声越来越大。然后Zack汪汪叫。出事了。

夫妇俩和富兰克林冲到Cox女士家。

她躺在楼梯边，就在这儿跌倒的。富兰克林帮助他爸爸小心地抬她到椅子上。妈妈想送她去医院，但是Cox女士不去。

“我不会离开Zack的”她说。所以他们给他儿子Eric打电话来帮助她。

Cox女士还有大麻烦。他跑回去把暖气后的鱼拿出来。（这是Josh的姐姐给他的）他拿吸尘器把他卧室地毯上的巧克力渣吸走了。

然后他把卧室墙上的柠檬汁弄干了。他对Josh道歉，很抱歉让他卷到麻烦了。最后，他对爸爸妈妈说对不起。他妈妈很沮丧。

“我们知道你爱Stanley街，我们都爱”

“但是双胞胎出生时候，这的地方不够我们所有人的”他爸爸坚定地说，“我们不得不搬到大一点的房子”

“我知道”富兰克林悲伤地说。

几周过去了，但是没人来看房。冬天就要到了，富兰克林感觉有点殷勤了。“没人想在冬天搬家，是吗”

但是一天，富兰克林放学回家发现令人毛骨悚然的Bragg又在厨房。他发现了富兰克林的把戏，他还想买他们家房子。

富兰克林感到脾气很坏。我不知道为什么Cox女士觉得搬家这么有趣。他停下来。他的妈妈正头顶裤衩围着屋子跳舞。“怎么了”他问。

“等着瞧吧”她大笑。

Stanley街迎来了圣诞节。富兰克林家没有出售标志。反而了几堆建筑工人的砖和水泥。

“那是Cox女士的主意”Josh说。“你买了她家的房子然后把你们两家的房子凿通。”

“那我们就有大房子了”富兰克林笑了。

“然后那个楼下的老街角商店就变成了Cox女士的小公寓了，现在你们在楼上有好多卧室了”

“...还有Cox女士和Zack在楼下有安全的地方了”

“这样每个人都开心了”

“除了Bragg先生”富兰克林笑着说，“他买了40号！”
