The story

李医生：打完针了。他马上就要睡着了。The injection's done. He'll be asleep in a moment.

包子：针？什么针？我不怕。我是包子。Needle? What needle? I'm not scared. I'm Baozi.

包子：这个人的脸又白又大，像包子似的。This person's face is so big and white. Just like a bun.

包子：上边的灯，也像包子似的。今天真好……The light up there's like a bun too. What a good day...

包子：这是哪儿？我的身体怎么这么轻？精力怎么这么好？Where's this? Why's my body so light? Why do I have so much energy?

包子：我飞起来了！飞，我一下子就掌握了。我飞得像云似的。I'm flying! I mastered it straight away. I'm floating like a cloud.

包子：二十三斤的云？对云来说，这不是负担。这是我的梦，我说了算。A twenty-three-jin cloud? For a cloud, that's no burden. This is my dream. I decide.

包子：前边那些白的是什么？是鸟吗？What are those white things up ahead? Birds?
