You go first
你先吧 (nǐ xiān ba, “you go first”) offers someone else the first turn. 吧 softens the suggestion. Here the new friends each have a reason to offer: Xiaopang invites Xiaobai, and Xiaobai says the ball belongs to Xiaopang. Their exchange gives Huahua time to take it. This is a comic scene between these two children, not a rule that every polite offer must be refused. Episode 2 of 小胖和花花 (Xiaopang & Huahua) continues their plan to play ball from episode 1.
