The box with wheels

  1. Dengdeng

    这个(zhège)箱子(xiāngzi)太(tài)重(zhòng)了(le)，我(wǒ)一个人(yīgèrén)搬不动(bānbùdòng)，力量(lìliang)不够(bùgòu)。

    This box is too heavy. I cannot move it alone. I am not strong enough.

  2. Liangliang

    我(wǒ)来(lái)帮(bāng)你(nǐ)，两个人(liǎnggèrén)的(de)力量(lìliang)大(dà)一点(yīdiǎn)。

    I will help you. Two people have more strength.

  3. Dengdeng

    还是(háishi)不(bù)动(dòng)。我们(wǒmen)叫(jiào)琦琦(qíqí)来(lái)吧(ba)。

    It still will not move. Let us call Qiqi.

  4. Qiqi

    来(lái)了(le)！你们(nǐmen)看(kàn)，箱子(xiāngzi)下面(xiàmiàn)有(yǒu)轮子(lúnzi)。

    I am here! Look, the box has wheels under it.

  5. Liangliang

    用不了(yòngbuliǎo)多少(duōshao)力量(lìliang)，推(tuī)一下(yīxià)就(jiù)行(xíng)。

    It does not need much strength. Just push it.

  6. Dengdeng

    原来(yuánlái)不用(bùyòng)力量(lìliang)，我们(wǒmen)白白(báibái)用(yòng)了(le)半天(bàntiān)力量(lìliang)！

    So no strength was needed, and we wasted ages using it!
