Pip was a clever chick. One day she went for a walk. Pip saw a fox. She ran away as fast as she could but the fox ran faster.

皮普是一只聪明的小鸡。 有一天她出门散步。 皮普看到了一只狐狸。 她拼尽全力往前跑，可狐狸跑得更快。

Hello, little chick, said the fox. You can't run away from me. I am faster than you. You may be faster than I am, said Pip, but I am stronger than you.

‘你好呀，小鸡。’狐狸说。 你逃不出我的手掌心的。 我可比你跑得快多了。 ‘你跑得是比我快，’皮普说，‘但我比你力气大。’

Pip picked up a small stick. She lifted it over her head. The fox laughed. Don't be silly, he said. I am much stronger than you. He picked up a bigger stick.

皮普捡起一根小木棍。 她把木棍举过头顶。 狐狸哈哈大笑。 ‘别傻了，’他说。 我的力气可比你大太多了。 他捡起了一根更大的木棍。

Okay, said Pibb, you are stronger than I am, but I can jump higher than you can. She jumped up in the air. The fox laughed again. And don't be silly, he said, I can jump much higher than you can. The fox jumped up into the sky.

‘好吧，’皮普说，‘你力气是比我大，但我跳得比你高。’ 她往上跳了起来。 狐狸又笑了。 ‘别傻啦，’他说，‘我跳得可比你高多了。’ 狐狸纵身往高处跳去。

Okay said Pib. You can jump higher than I can, but I can shout louder than you can. She chipped as loudly as she could. Chip chip chip. The fox was very angry. This is very silly. I can shout much louder than you can.

‘好吧，’皮普说，‘你跳得是比我高，但我喊得比你响。’ 她用尽全力叽叽叫：叽叽叽！叽叽叽！ 狐狸气坏了：‘这也太傻了，我喊得可比你响多了。’
