"Why don't you answer me?" asked Brother Rabbit. The Tar Baby didn't say a word.
你为什么不回答我？兔子弟弟问。柏油娃娃一言不发。
"See here!" said Brother Rabbit. "Have you no tongue in your black head? Answer me!Speak up in a hurry, or I'll hit you!"
看这！兔子弟弟说，你黑黑的脑壳里没长着舌头吗？回答我，快说话，不然我就打你了！
The Tar Baby said nothing, and so Brother Rabbit hit him with his right hand.
柏油娃娃还是什么都没说。于是兔子弟弟用右手打了他。

"Let go!" shouted Brother Rabbit. "Let go my hand, I say! Will you let go?"
放开我！兔子弟弟喊道，我说放开我的手，你不放开吗？
