你要大苹果吗?nǐ yào dà píng guǒ ma

我是一个大苹果，小朋友们都爱我。
wǒ shì yī gè dà píng guǒ xiǎo péng yǒu men dóu ài wǒ
请你先去洗洗手, 要是手脏 别碰 我。
qǐng nǐ xiān qù xǐ xǐ shǒu yào shì shǒu cāng bié pèng wǒ

Would you like to have a big apple?

I am a big apple, children all love me.

Wash your hands first, please. Don’t touch me if your hands are dirty.
