Jue, Qiongqiong and Juxu | 蹶与蛩蛩、距虚

English Original

Jue is a kind of beast from the north.

Its forelegs are as short as a mouse's, while its hind legs are as long as a hare's.

It often stumbles when walking quickly and falls even more frequently when running.

In its spare time, Jue gathers fresh grass for Qiongqiong and Juxu, who are not adept at foraging. When danger approaches, Qiongqiong and Juxu will carry Jue on their backs and flee together.


中文翻译

蹶是北方的一种野兽。

它的前腿像老鼠的一样短小,而后腿却像兔子的一样长大。

它走路稍快时就会摔倒,跑起来时更是跟头不断。

蹶一有空闲,就会采集鲜美的青草,送给不擅长觅食的蛩蛩和距虚。每当危险临近,蛩蛩和距虚就会找到蹶,背起它一起逃走。
