voice 1: England, 1823. Some boys are playing football. They run around the grass next to some large red stone buildings. This is one of the most famous schools in the country - Rugby School. One of the boys takes up the ball in his arms. He does not kick the ball with his feet as he should. He runs forward towards the goal. The other boys shout at him - they tell him to stop. But he refuses. And so, they throw themselves at him. They try to take the ball from his arms. They forget their usual game of football - and a new sport is born!
声音1：英国，1823年。一些男孩正在踢足球。他们在草坪上跑来跑去，草坪旁边是几幢高大的红色砖楼。这是英国最著名的学校之一——拉格比学校。其中一个男孩把球夹在手臂里。他本来应该用脚踢球，可是他没有这样做。他向着球门奔跑。其他男孩向他大喊，他们让他停下来。但是他没有理会。所以，其他他们向他冲了过去。他们想把球从他的手臂里抢下来。他们忘了他们的足球比赛，创造出了一种新运动！
