孩子和鞋子
The child and the shoes

Háizi shì háizi, xiézĭ shì xiézĭ,
孩子是孩子,鞋子是鞋子,
Child is child, shoes are shoes, 

Háizi bú shì xiézĭ, xiézĭ bú shì háizi.
孩子不是鞋子,鞋子不是孩子。
Child is not shoes, shoes are not child.

Shì háizi chuān xiézĭ, bú shì xiézĭ chuān háizi.
是孩子穿鞋子,不是鞋子穿孩子。
It is the child to wear the shoes, not the shoes to wear the child. 

Shuí fēn bù qīng xiézĭ hé háizi, shuí jiù niàn bù zhŭn xiézĭ hé háizi.
谁分不清鞋子和孩子,谁就念不准鞋子和孩子。
The one who cannot distinguish between child and shoes cannot speak them correctly.
