　　《中國兒童文學走向世界精品書系：波斯貓派克（英文版）》：　　Red Kangaroo learned the secret of the fat bear and his seven-color pen.　　He lost no time in sharing the news with Fire Hat and Leap Frog. Fire Hat shook his head and said: "Is it possible? How could such a stupid fat bear have a magic pen which can fly away and return on command?"　　Leap Frog didn't agree. He patted his stomach and yelled:　　"I am the No. l frog in the world; nobody is more capable than me. I am clairvoyant, I am clairvoyant; nobody can see further than me!"　　His stomach swelled like a big drum and his body bloated like a balloon. His eyes bulged with clairvoyant powers and he looked around in midair. He saw something very strange.　　What did Leap Frog see?　　A line of orderly furniture and pillows and cushions were walking quietly on the path leading to the forest.　　The three fellows followed them at once. Red Kangaroo knew that these walking articles of furniture had been written on by the fat bear. In other words, they were now brought to life.　　The articles of furniture moved quietly. It seemed that they were in thrall to some silent orders. They walked into the depths of the thick forest. There was a clearing there, where they could see a house with a peaked-roof.　　A mysterious figure was pressing a remote control energetically in front of the house. Red Kangaroo rotated on the spot and tumed into a chair and joined the line of furniture just after the refrigerator. When he walked in front of the mysterious figure, he looked carefully and and saw that it was a little fox.　　The door of the house was open wide. Red Kangaroo entered and realized that it was a storehouse filled with various kinds of furniture and food and even a big tortoises. All of them had been collected by the little fox. Red Kangaroo understood at once: the seven-color pen of the fat bear had surely been given to him by the little fox and the remote control could bring all the articles wluch had been written on into this house with its peaked-roof. What a cunning fox!　　The little fox was almost too tired to stand. He pulled aside the chair that was in fact Red Kangaroo and sat down on it. Red Kangaroo felt lus neck being tickled by the tail of the fox. He sneezed, and gave the little fox a temble shock. The fox rubbed his nose, and said: "How could I have caught a cold?　　Red Kangaroo laughed aloud. The little fox jumped up, and shouted:　　"Who are you?"　　Red Kangaroo changed back to his original appearance. He clapped his hands and Fire Hat and Leap Frog rushed over to apprehend the little fox.　　The fox threw down the remote control and ran to the back of the house. Red Kangaroo picked up the remote control and pursued him.　　Fire Hat yelled: "This is annoying me. I am getting angry! "　　Fire Hat became taller and his cockscomb started to burn with rage. He looked dreadful to behold. He continued speaking: "What a bold fox! How dare you cheat us?"　　The fox turned the corner and suddenly opened up a small sealed door. A group of white dogs dashed out and rushed at Red Kangaroo, Fire Hat and Leap Frog. The white dogs looked big and sluggish but they listened to every word of the little fox. Baring their teeth, they chased after the three friends.　　Red Kangaroo and Fire Hat and Leap Frog ran away swiffly.　　……
