The Dream

梦想

Pippin waddles across the icy shore, staring up at the vast blue sky.
He discovers a faint rainbow shimmering in the distance, heart beating fast.
With a brave heart he resolves to paint the rainbow for everyone.
Even though the snow blocks most colors, he knows imagination brings them all.
He collects a small bucket, seaweed, and a brush found among driftwood.
Friends cheer: "Go, Pippin! Color the sky!"

皮平在冰凉的海岸前行，抬头仰望广阔蓝天。
他发现远处有一道淡淡的彩虹闪烁，心跳加速。
他决定把那道彩虹画出来与伙伴们分享。
雪挡住色彩，皮平相信想象能创造奇迹。
他从漂流木堆里找小桶、海藻和画笔。
伙伴欢呼：皮平，快把天空变成彩色吧！

The First Attempt

第一次尝试

Pippin mixes seaweed and water for a blue hue.
He dips his brush, applies a stripe of blue on the sand, feeling proud.
A green stripe follows, but turns brown, disappointing him.
He worries he may never get the colors he loves.
Seal Tilly reminds him: "Try looking at the sky again, maybe colors are closer than you think!"
He nods, feeling hopeful.

皮平把海藻与水混合，想让它变蓝。
他蘸起画笔，在沙滩绘一条蓝线，脸上露满意笑容。
随后试一条绿线，却被海藻变棕，失望不已。
他担心永远拿不到想要的颜色。
海豹蒂利提醒他："再看一眼天空，也许颜色就在你想象的附近！"
皮平点点头，心中又燃起光亮。

The Wise Owl

聪明的猫头鹰

Pippin meets Maya, the wise owl who knows all about colors.
She tells him of a "Rainbow Crumb" seed hidden beneath the ice, glowing all colors.
Maya hand him a map pointing to the exact spot on the northern ice floe.
He feels excitement as a warm tide.
He asks: "How do I grow my colors?"
Maya smiles: "The secret is to mix the colors of the sky, the sea, and the snow. Let me show you."

第二天，皮平遇见了解所有颜色秘密的旧猫头鹰玛雅。
玛雅说有一种叫「彩虹种子」的种子藏在冰下，能闪所有颜色。
她给皮平一张指北至北冰面上确切位置的地图。
皮平兴奋得像温暖潮水般激动。
他问玛雅："我怎么让颜色生长？"
玛雅笑道："秘密是把天空、海洋和雪的颜色混合。让我来示范。"

Learning the Colors

学习颜色

He follows the map, sliding by bright blue sea, deep green tide, and white snow.
Mixing water, he collects seaweed, sea glass, and a piece of ice.
Paint glimmers, hinting green light.
He paints a bright green stripe, feeling incomplete.
Deciding he needs red, he watches sunset behind ice.
That evening, the sky glows orange, refracted into bright red by the ice.

皮平跟地图，滑过明亮蓝色海面、深绿潮汐与雪白。
他把水混合，收集海藻、海玻璃甚至一块冰。
颜料闪光，显现绿光。
他画一条明亮绿线，感觉仍不完整。
他决定需红色，于是望向冰后方的夕阳。
那晚，天空燃起橙色，冰面折射出鲜艳红色。

A Rainbow on Ice

冰上的彩虹

Combining blue, green, orange, red, yellow, violet, he creates rainbow paint.
He swirls pigments on snow, forming a glowing rainbow arc.
Penguins and seals gather, amazed.
The rainbow shines on ice, not in the real sky.
Everyone cheers, Maya explains: "Your heart made it happen, Pippin. Even on the coldest ice, colors can bloom."

皮平把蓝、绿、橙、红、黄、紫混合成彩虹颜料。
他来回刷，旋转颜料，雪面出现闪光彩虹弧。
企鹅与海豹围观，眼睛闪亮，惊讶不已。
彩虹在冰上闪耀，非真实天空。
众人欢呼，猫头鹰玛雅解释："你的心让它发生，皮平。即使在最寒冰上，颜色也能绽放。"

A Celebration

庆祝

Pippin invites friends to a picnic by the rainbow.
They dance, sing, and share bright color stories.
The ice rainbow reflects lantern light, lighting the whole beach.
When the sun sets, the rainbow glows softly, never fading.
Pippin thanks everyone, feeling proud.
He whispers to the starlit sky: "We’ll paint more colors together, my friends."

皮平邀请朋友在彩虹旁野餐。
他们舞蹈、歌唱，分享明亮色彩故事。
冰虹映照灯笼光，让海岸点亮。
夕阳落下，彩虹柔和发光，永不褪色。
皮平感谢大家，心中自豪。
他低声对星光灿烂的天空说："我们一起画更多颜色，我的朋友们。"
