老村长听到他们刚从帕拉帕拉山下来，急忙问：“那里不是有妖怪吗？你们是怎么逃出来的？”

We only saw a while pig screaming and yelling as top as his loud.
”只有一只大白猪在惊声尖叫。“
“ That’s right” continue the other.

另一只豪猪说：就是啊！我们正在生火，突然感觉有东西靠近，还没看清楚，就听到一声尖叫，一只大白猪一边跑一边叫，包包掉了也不管。”
We try to follow him to give it back. But we couldn’t keep up.
“我们追不上他，
So we decided that as soon as we got some free time, we come down the mountain to found him and give him his bag back. ”
只好下山把他的包包送来。”
