Chapter 1 A New Friend in Town 第一章 新朋友The Sky was pitch-black, only the full moon and the twinkling of the stars could be seen through an occasional drifting cloud. The forest was silent except for the sound of hooves thundering the ground. A white glowing pony wearing a purple hooded cape; ran through the forest. Her sky blue tail blew in the wind with strains of her mane showing from under her hood. She carried a basket in her mouth, a pink silk cloth laid tucked inside. Her breathing became heavy from her long run. She glanced behind her worriedly. She knew someone was following her, she could hear the sounds of thundering hoofs. She knew they were close behind even though she didn't know who they were.
天色钝黑，只有月华和星辰透过偶尔掠过的浮云的遮蔽。岑寂的森林里传来如雷鸣般的马蹄声。一道白色亮光闪过，原来是一个披着斗篷，围着紫色头巾的小马驹，她正慌慌张张的闯过这片森林。她天蓝色的尾巴和头巾下的长发，都在狂奔之中被风攒起。她嘴里含着篮子，里面是一个粉色丝绸做的襁褓。长时间的奔跑让她喘不过气来。她担忧的朝身后望了一眼。她知道有人跟踪她，她甚至能听到响亮地马蹄声。她不知道到底是谁在跟踪她，不过她知道他们离她不远了。
She looked down at the basket she carried in her mouth. What would she do with the basket? She couldn't go back and she didn't know where she was or where to go. Fear and worries slowly began to creep up inside her. She stopped in the valley at the edge of the forest; in the valley below were lots of houses but only one house still had their lights on; everyone else was asleep. She closed her eyes letting a single tear trickle down her cheek; she knew what she had to do. She looked back to see if her followers were in sight, the forest was too dark to see anything. She rushed out of the forest and ran down the street, through several yards and jumping over fences. When she reached the house she put the basket on the door step and smiled but she felt too sad for smiled for long. She lowered her head and lightly nuzzled the silk cloth. A tear fell from her cheek to the blanket. Knowing she didn't have time to waste, she stood on her hind legs and knocked on the door. She looked at the basket one last time and then ran. She quickly left the valley and ran into the forest.
她低头望了望含在嘴里的篮子。她该怎么办？她已无法回头，她也不知道自己身处何方，该往哪儿去。她心里的恐惧和担忧慢慢滋扰着她。她在森林尽头的山谷前停了下来；在这群楼林立的山谷里人们都休息了，只有一家的灯还亮着。她闭上眼睛，泪水划过她的脸庞；她知道自己必须这么做。她回头看看那些人是否跟来了，可是漆黑的森林里什么也看不见。她冲出森林，穿过街道，跑过好几个街区，跳过遇到的栅栏。终于来到那座房子面前，她微笑着把篮子轻轻的放在门前的台阶上,但是不久悲伤就消磨了浅浅的笑容。她低下头,用鼻子轻轻的抚摸着襁褓。泪珠依着脸颊滑落在竹篮里。知道自己没有多少时间可以浪费，她用后脚站了起来，敲了敲门。她看了那个篮子最后一眼就跑开了。她赶紧离开山谷，冲进了森林里。
When she heard how quiet the forest was she got worried, the thundering hoof beats were gone. At first she thought she had lost her followers but when she saw them to the side of her staring at her she gasped fearfully. There stood three black male ponies with black and dark blue hair. One was a Pegasus and the other was a unicorn. The third appeared to be a normal earth pony. All three of them had hairy feet.
