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.
Kylling og Tusindben var venner. Men de konkurrerede altid med hinanden. En dag besluttede de sig for at spille fodbold for at se, hvem der var den bedste spiller.
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.
De gik hen til fodboldbanen og begyndte deres spil. Kylling var hurtig, men Tusindben var hurtigere. Kylling sparkede langt, men Tusindben sparkede længere. Kylling begyndte at blive sur.
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.
De besluttede sig for en straffesparkskonkurrence. Først skulle Tusindben være målmand. Kylling scorede kun et enkelt mål. Så var det kyllingens tur til at forsvare målet.
Millipede kicked the ball and scored.
Millipede dribbled the ball and scored. Millipede headed the ball and scored. Millipede scored five goals.
Tusindben sparkede til bolden og scorede. Tusindben fintede bolden og scorede. Tusindben nikkede til bolden og scorede. Tusindben scorede fem mål.
Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.
Kylling var rasende over, at hun tabte. Hun var en meget dårlig taber. Tusindben begyndte at grine, fordi hans ven brokkede sig så meget.
Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.
Kylling var så vred, at hun åbnede sit næb på vid gab og slugte tusindbenet.
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.
Da Kylling gik hjem, mødte hun Mor Tusindben. Mor Tusindben spurgte: “Har du set mit barn?” Kylling sagde ikke noget. Mor Tusindben var bekymret.
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.
Så hørte Mor Tusindben en lille stemme: “Hjælp mig, mor!” råbte stemmen. Mor Tusindben så sig omkring og lyttede opmærksomt. Stemmen kom inde fra kyllingens mave.
Mother Millipede shouted, “Use your special power my child!” Millipedes can make a bad smell and a terrible taste. Chicken began to feel ill.
Mor Tusindben råbte: “Brug dine specielle evner, mit barn!” Tusindben kan lave en grim lugt og en forfærdelig smag. Kylling begyndte at få det dårligt.
Chicken burped. Then she swallowed and spat. Then she sneezed and coughed. And coughed. The millipede was disgusting!
Kylling bøvsede. Så svælgede og spyttede hun. Så nøs og hostede hun. Og hostede. Tusindbenet var ulækkert!
Chicken coughed until she coughed out the millipede that was in her stomach. Mother Millipede and her child crawled up a tree to hide.
Kylling hostede, indtil hun hostede tusindbenet op af sin mave. Mor Tusindben og hendes barn kravlede op i et træ for at gemme sig.
From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.
Siden da har kyllinger og tusindben været fjender.
