Niña--Mi madre es francesa y mi padre es mexicano.

El hombre alto--Mi madre es inglesa y mi padre es un arból. Por eso yo tengo piernas de madera.


Little girl--My mother is French and my father is Mexican.

The tall man--My mother is English and my father is a tree. That is why I have wooden legs.

Not sure if this is right.

Hey, little girl, if you keep eating candy you won't grow as tall as I am.

¡Oye, chica! si sigas comiendo los dulces no vas a crecer tan alto como yo.

Corrected English: "Hi, little girl. Can you hear me down there? If you can hear me, wave your delicious little lollipop." - webdunce, JUN 15, 2010
Even better: "Hi, little girl. Can you hear me down there? If you can, wave your delicious little lollipop." (we would tend not to repeat the "hear me" part in this case...I can't explain why). - webdunce, JUN 15, 2010
