“這些人是誰？”Kipper問。“那是維多利亞女王，"奶奶說，”還有她的一些孫子孫女。"

“維多利亞女王看起來很兇，”Biff說，“我打賭她不像你，奶奶。"

'This is what London was like a long time ago,' said Gran.

'A lot of people were very poor.'

他們看到了一個街頭場景。

“這就是倫敦很久以前的樣子，”奶奶說。

'許多人都很窮。'

'貧困的孩子們沒有去上學。他們不得不去工作，”奶奶說，“那個男孩拿着的刷子是個掃帚，他的工作是爬上煙囪，然後把煤煙刷下來。'

'Do you think Gran should go off by herself? 'said Biff.

'She can't do much harm in here,' said Chip.

As she bent down she knocked into the waxworks and they began to fall over.

奶奶把她的手提包掉了，還有一些錢滾在模特中間，奶奶去撿了起來。

當她彎下腰時，她撞到了蠟像,他們開始倒了。

Gran picked the models up and put the heads back on.

The children couldn't believe it.

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

奶奶拿起模型，把頭重新戴上。

孩子們簡直不敢相信。

“奶奶！你在幹什麼？"Biff說。

'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. '

“別傻站在那兒，”奶奶說。"幫我。在別人看到之前把模特撿起來。”哦，奶奶，Biff說。“我讓你離開我的視線一秒鐘，就發生了這種事。”

They picked the models up and put the heads back on.

'They look strange, ”said Anneena.

'I don’t think the heads are right.Oh no! "said Gran.

他們拿起模型，把頭朝上。

“他們看起來很奇怪，”Anneena說。

“我覺得頭不對。哦，不！”奶奶說。

A lady ran up. She was very cross with Gran. I'I can't think how you knocked the models over in the first place,' she said.'It's never happened before.'I'm very sorry, 'said Gran.

一位女士跑了過來。她對奶奶很生氣。“我不知道你是怎麼搞到模特兒的，”她說，“這在以前從來沒有發生過。”

"我很抱歉，"奶奶說。

'I don't know, 'said Biff. 'I don't think they will let Gran in the waxworks again.'

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

“我不知道，”Biff說。'我想他們不會再讓奶奶進來了。'

“別放心上，'Chip說。'奶奶不是故意把他們弄倒的。'

'Thank you for a great day out,' said Nadim.'We had never been to London before.'I liked the ride on the boat best,' said Kipper. 'Even if it was cold.
