A chicken and a millipede walking along a road.

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.

La poule et le millepatte étaient amis. Mais ils étaient toujours en compétition l’un contre l’autre. Un jour, ils décidèrent de jouer au football pour voir qui était le meilleur joueur.

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.

Ils allèrent au terrain de football et commencèrent à jouer. La poule était rapide, mais le millepatte était encore plus rapide. La poule envoyait le ballon loin, mais le millepatte l’envoyait encore plus loin. La poule commençait à être de mauvaise humeur.

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.

Ils décidèrent de faire des tirs au but. Au début, le millepatte était gardien de but. La poule marqua un seul but. Puis ce fut au tour de la poule d’être le gardien de but.

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.

Le millepatte tira dans le ballon et marqua. Le millepatte dribbla avec le ballon et marqua. Le millepatte fit une tête avec le ballon et marqua. Le millepatte marqua cinq buts.


An angry-looking chicken.

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.

La poule était furieuse d’avoir perdu. C’était une très mauvaise perdante. Le millepatte commença à rire parce que son amie en faisait toute une histoire.


A chicken opening its beak wide to eat the millipede.

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.

La poule était tellement en colère qu’elle ouvrit tout grand son bec et avala le millepatte.


A chicken walking with a ball under its arm talking to a millipede.

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.

Alors que la poule rentrait à la maison, elle rencontra la maman millepatte. La maman millepatte demanda, « as-tu vu mon enfant ? » La poule ne répondit pas. La maman millepatte était inquiète.


A voice coming from inside a chicken standing next to a millipede.

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.

Puis la maman millepatte entendit une petite voix. « Aide-moi maman ! » criait la voix. La maman millepatte regarda autour et écouta attentivement. La voix venait de l’intérieur de la poule.


An ill-looking chicken.

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.

La maman millepatte s’écria « Utilise tes pouvoirs spéciaux mon enfant ! » Les millepattes peuvent faire une mauvaise odeur et donner un mauvais goût. La poule commença à se sentir mal.


A chicken coughing.

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!

La poule fit un rot. Puis elle déglutit et cracha. Puis elle éternua et toussa. Et toussa. Le millepatte était dégoûtant !


A millipede in a puddle of spit.

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.

La poule toussa jusqu’à ce qu’elle recrache le millepatte qui était dans son estomac. La maman millepatte et son enfant rampèrent jusqu’à un arbre pour se cacher.

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

From that time, chickens and millipedes were enemies.

Depuis ce temps, les poules et les millepattes sont ennemis.
