'Gran! What are you doing?" said Biff.

孩子们简直不敢相信。

“奶奶！你在干什么？"Biff说。

'Don't just stand there,' said Gran. 'Helpme. Pick the models up before anyone sees.''Oh Gran, 'said Biff. 'I let you out of my sight for a second, and this happens. '

“别傻站在那儿，”奶奶说。"帮我。在别人看到之前把模特捡起来。”哦，奶奶，Biff说。“我让你离开我的视线一秒钟，就发生了这种事。”

他们拿起模型，把头朝上。

“他们看起来很奇怪，”Anneena说。

'Never mind, 'said Chip. 'Gran didn't mean to knock them over.'

“我不知道，”Biff说。'我想他们不会再让奶奶进来了。'
