Høne og Tusenbein var venner. Men de likte alltid å konkurrere. En dag spilte de fotball for å se hvem som var den beste spilleren.
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.
De dro til fotballbanen og startet kampen. Høne var rask, men Tusenbein var raskere. Høne sparket langt, men Tusenbein sparket lengre. Høne ble surere og surere.
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 bestemte seg for å ha en straffekonkurranse. Først var Tusenbein keeper. Høne skåret bare ett mål. Så var det Hønes tur til å forsvare målet.
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.
Da Høne gikk hjemover, møtte hun Mor Tusenbein. «Har du sett barnet mitt?» spurte Mor Tusenbein. Høne sa ikke noe. Mor Tusenbein ble urolig.
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.
Så hørte Mor Tusenbein en svak stemme: «Mamma, hjelp meg!» Mor Tusenbein så seg rundt og lyttet spent. Lyden kom fra inni høna.
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.
