　　Deer: Oh, hi! Nice to meet you. When did you get here? Whats your name?

　　鹿：哦，嗨!很高兴见到你。你什么时候来的?你叫什么名字?

　　There is no answer from the pond. The Deer sees herself in the water for the first time. She is very surprised.

　　池塘里的动物没有回答。这是小鹿第一次在水中看到自己，她感到非常惊讶。

　　Deer: I said, Nice to meet you. Wait a minute! Hey, it moves like me. It even talks like me. Then perhaps? Yes! Its me!
