咚咚咚!咚咚咚!提科在敲他的壳。壳门“吱呀”一声开了,里面是一片绿绿的竹林。“咚咚咚,出发啦!”美和提科跳了进去。啪嗒!一只纸风筝掉在美的脚边。这是谁的风筝呢?
English
Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! Tiko tapped on his shell. Creeeak! The little shell door opened, and inside was a green bamboo forest. "Knock, knock, knock, off we go!" Mei and Tiko jumped in. Flop! A fengzheng, a paper kite, landed by Mei's feet. Whose kite could it be?

一只熊猫宝宝跑过来,黑耳朵一抖一抖。“我叫圆圆。今天是竹林风筝节,可是我的风筝飞不起来。”圆圆的小嘴巴瘪了下去。美说:“别急,我们一起想办法!”提科拍拍壳:“对,一起!”
English
A baby panda came running up, her black ears wiggling. "I am Yuanyuan. Today is the Bamboo Forest Fengzheng Festival, but my kite won't fly." Yuanyuan's little mouth drooped down. Mei said, "Don't worry, we will think of a way together!" Tiko patted his shell. "Yes, together!"

美把风筝高高抛起。呼,风筝转了个圈,啪!又掉下来了。圆圆也跑着试一试,噗通,她摔了个跟头,滚成一个黑白的小团子。提科笑得直拍壳。可是,风一点儿也没有。风去哪儿了?
English
Mei tossed the fengzheng up high. Whoosh, it twirled around, and flop! It fell down again. Yuanyuan ran and tried too. Thump! She tumbled over and rolled into a little black and white ball. Tiko laughed and laughed and patted his shell. But there was no wind at all. Where did the wind go?

“咚咚咚,出发啦!”提科抓起风筝线就跑。可是他脚下一滑,骨碌骨碌骨碌,线把他绕成了一个大线球!只露出两只大眼睛。美和圆圆笑弯了腰。风筝还是飞不起来。美想了想……
English
"Knock, knock, knock, off we go!" Tiko grabbed the kite string and ran. But his foot slipped. Roll, roll, roll! The string wound around him into a big ball of string, with just two big eyes peeking out! Mei and Yuanyuan laughed until their tummies hurt. The fengzheng still would not fly. Mei thought and thought...

中文
美帮提科解开线,忽然笑了:“没有风,我们就自己跑起来!”她用竹叶给风筝系上一条长长的尾巴,拉着线跑呀跑。“圆圆,跟我来!”嗖!风筝飞起来了!风筝上的熊猫眨了眨眼睛,风也醒来了,呼呼地笑。圆圆送给美一只小小的风筝。
English
Mei helped Tiko get unwound, and then she smiled. "If there is no wind, we can make our own by running!" She tied a long tail made of bamboo leaves onto the fengzheng and pulled the string, running and running. "Yuanyuan, follow me!" Zoom! The fengzheng flew up! The panda on the kite blinked its eyes, and the wind woke up too, whooshing and giggling. Yuanyuan gave Mei a tiny fengzheng of her own.

中文
美回到了自己的床上,手里还握着圆圆送的小风筝。提科缩进壳里,蜷在床尾,轻轻打着呼噜。美想:明天我要教爸爸妈妈放风筝!她闭上眼睛小声说:“咚咚咚,晚安啦,风筝飞高高!”
English
Mei was back in her own bed, still holding the little fengzheng from Yuanyuan. Tiko tucked into his shell at the foot of the bed and snored softly. Mei thought, tomorrow I will teach Mom and Dad how to fly a kite! She closed her eyes and whispered, "Knock, knock, knock, good night. Fly high, little fengzheng!"
