Magkaibigan si Manok at si Milipid. Pero lagi silang nakikipagpaligsahan sa isa’t isa. Isang araw, napagpasyahan nilang maglaro ng putbol para makita kung sino ang pinakamagaling na manlalaro.

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.

Pollo y Milpiés eran amigos. Pero siempre competían. Un día, decidieron jugar fútbol para ver quién jugaba mejor.


Nagtungo sila sa putbolan at inumpisahan ang kanilang laro. Mabilis si Manok, pero mas mabilis si Milipid. Malayo ang sipa ni Manok, pero mas malayo ang sipa ni Milipid. Nag-umpisang uminit ang ulo ni Manok.

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.

Fueron a la cancha de fútbol y comenzaron a jugar. El Pollo era rápido, pero Milpiés era mucho más rápido. El Pollo pateaba lejos el balón, pero Milpiés lo pateaba aún más lejos. Así que el Pollo se empezó a enojar.


Napagpasyahan nilang maglaro ng penalty shoot-out. Nag-goalkeeper muna si Milipid. Isang gol lang ang na-iskor ni Manok. Pagkatapos, naging taya naman si Manok para depensahan ang gol.

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.

Decidieron hacer un lanzamiento de penal. Milpiés fue el primer portero y el Pollo anotó sólo un gol. Enseguida le tocó al Pollo ser portero.


Sinipa ni Milipid ang bola at naka-iskor siya. Dinribol ni Milipid ang bola at naka-iskor siya. Inulunan ni Milipid ang bola at naka-iskor siya. Naka-limang gol si Milipid.

Millipede kicked the ball and scored. Millipede dribbled the ball and scored. Millipede headed the ball and scored. Millipede scored five goals.

Milpiés lanzó el balón y anotó un gol. Milpiés dribló el balón y anotó. Milpiés cabeceó el balón y anotó. Milpiés anotó cinco goles.


Galit na galit si Manok sa kanyang pagkatalo. Pikon siyang talunan. Tinawanan ni Milipid si Manok dahil nagiinarte ang kaibigan niya.

Chicken was furious that she lost. She was a very bad loser. Millipede started laughing because his friend was making such a fuss.

El Pollo estaba furioso por haber perdido. Era un mal perdedor. Milpiés se empezó a reír porque su amigo estaba armando un escándalo.


Sa sobrang galit ni Manok, tinuka niya si Milipid at nilunok ito.

Chicken was so angry that she opened her beak wide and swallowed the millipede.

El Pollo estaba tan enfadado que con su pico abierto se tragó a Milpiés.


Habang lumalakad pauwi si Manok, nakasalubong niya si Mama Milipid. Tanong ni Mama Milipid, “Nakita mo ba ang anak ko?” Hindi sumagot si Manok. Nag-alala si Mama Milipid.

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.

Camino a casa, el Pollo se encontró con la Mamá Milpiés. Y ella le preguntó, “¿Has visto a mi hijo?” El Pollo no le respondió nada y Mamá Milpiés se empezó a preocupar.


Pagkatapos, may narinig na maliit na boses si Mama Milipid. “Tulong, Mama!” iyak ng boses. Tumingin si Mama Milipid sa paligid niya at nakinig ng mabuti. Nanggaling ang boses mula sa loob nang manok.

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.

Luego, Mamá Milpiés escuchó una pequeña vocecita. “¡Ayúdame, mamá!” gritaba la vocecita. Mamá Milpiés miró para todos lados tratando de escuchar atentamente. La vocecita venía del interior del Pollo.


Sigaw ni Mama Milipid, “Anak, gamitin mo ang iyong espesyal na kapangyarihan!” Kayang gumawa ng mga milipid ng mabahong amoy at masamang lasa. Nag-umpisang sumama ang pakiramdam ni Manok.

Mother Millipede shouted, “Use your special power my child!” Millipedes can make a bad smell and a terrible taste. Chicken began to feel ill.

Mamá Milpiés gritó, “¡Usa tus poderes especiales, hijo mío!” Los Milpiés pueden producir un olor muy desagradable con un sabor terrible. El Pollo comenzó a sentirse enfermo.


Dumighay si Manok. Pagkatapos, lumunok at dumura siya. Pagkatapos ay bumahing at umubo siya. At umubo. Kadiri ang milipid!

Chicken burped. Then she swallowed and spat. Then she sneezed and coughed. And coughed. The millipede was disgusting!

El Pollo eructó. Luego, tragaba y escupía. Después, estornudaba y tosía. ¡El Milpiés era asqueroso!


Umubo si Manok hanggang sa naiubo niya ang milipid na nasa kanyang sikmura. Gumapang si Mama Milipid at ang kanyang anak sa isang puno para magtago.

Chicken coughed until she coughed out the millipede that was in her stomach. Mother Millipede and her child crawled up a tree to hide.

El Pollo tosió y tosió hasta que Milpiés logró salir de su estómago. Mamá Milpiés y su hijo treparon un árbol muy rápidamente para esconderse del Pollo.


Mula noon, naging magkaaway ang mga manok at mga milipid.

From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.

Desde ese instante, los pollos y los milpiés fueron enemigos.
