Chicken and Millipede were friends. But they were always competing with each other. One day they decided to play football to see who the best player was.
鸡和千足虫是好朋友,但是它们又互相竞争。有一天,它们决定进行一场足球比赛,看看谁是最棒的球员。
They went to the football field and started their game. Chicken was fast, but Millipede was faster. Chicken kicked far, but Millipede kicked further. Chicken started to feel grumpy.
They decided to play a penalty shoot-out. First Millipede was goal keeper. Chicken scored only one goal. Then it was the chicken’s turn to defend the goal.
Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.
鸡输了,它很生气。千足虫哈哈大笑,因为它的朋友输了球,就无理取闹。
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
鸡生气极了,它张开嘴,一口把千足虫吞了下去。
As Chicken was walking home, she met Mother Millipede. Mother Millipede asked, “Have you seen my child?” Chicken didn’t say anything.
Mother Millipede was worried.
Then Mother Millipede heard a tiny voice. “Help me mom!” cried the voice. Mother Millipede looked around and listened carefully. The voice came from inside the chicken.
