藤上的番茄常被糟蹋.
The tomatoes on the vines were spoiled often and often.

真可惜!
What a waste!

原來是老母雞逛番茄田;
So it was the old hen visited the tomato field,

一路走, 一路嘗.
who tasted tomatoes while walking along the field.

這個太甜, 那個太酸......
This one's too sweet, that one's too sour....

一地的爛番茄.
Here were bad tomatoes all over.

對不起! 請幫個忙好嗎?
Excuse me!  Will you please, do me a favor?

你可知道分享規則第一條?
Do you happen to know the rule No.1 of sharing?

不糟蹋!!!
DO NOT WASTE!!!
