Wait a minute,wait a minute.What is this?Chocolate.I smell chocolate.I’m getting prunes² （李子）and ginger（生姜） cream.Who are they?Oh,man ,the master will not be pleased.We’d better tell him someone took the bird,right,Alfa?

Alfa:No.Soon enough the bird will be ours again.Find the scent ,my compadres（伙伴）,and you too,shall have much rewarding from the master for that toil³ you did.

BETA&DELTA：Hey,Alfa.I think there’s something wrong with your collar（项圈）.You must have broken it.Yeah.Your voice sounds funny.

ALFA:Beta,Delta!Perhaps you desire...Squirrel!Perhaps you desire to challenge the ranking that I have been assigned（分派） by my strength and cunning（狡猾）.

BETA&DELTA:No,no,no.But maybe Dug would.You might wanna ask him.I wonder if he’s found the bird ob his “very special mission”.

ALFA:Don’t mention Dug to me at this time.His fool’s errand will keep him most occupied,most occupied,indeed.Hahaha.Do you not agree with that which I’m saying to you now?
