Daniel: What's that?

May: All kinds of insects dress themselves up. They drive straight their own Flower Cars along the Parade Avenue of Ants Kingdom.

Daniel: That's splendid. Can you take three pictures of me with them?

May: I thought you had grown out of such child practice.

Daniel: Cut it out. Look at my smile, and it seems like the flowers in the spring. Right?

May: Gross!

阿美：你知道我有多開心嗎？螞蟻王國是一個充滿着多姿多彩童話的完美世界。連這裏的空氣都似乎新鮮了許多。

丹尼爾：只有小孩子才喜歡這種地方。

阿美：得了吧，小朋友，別老是裝大人了。如果你到了那裏，你一定會喜歡的。

丹尼爾：快點！快點！看那邊的毛毛蟲多可愛啊！

阿美：我就說你一定會喜歡它們吧。幾分鐘後在廣場中會有螞蟻狂歡大遊行！你將會經歷一個夢幻之旅。

丹尼爾：那是什麼？

阿美：所以“昆蟲”都盛裝打扮起來。他們將架着自己的花車在螞蟻王國的遊行道徑直地行進。

丹尼爾：太棒了！能幫我和它們拍三張照片嗎？

阿美：我還以爲你已經玩膩了這種小孩子的遊戲了呢。

丹尼爾：打住。看我笑得就跟春天裏的花朵一樣。是不是呀？

阿美：噁心！

丹尼爾：快點！我的笑容都僵了。
