NAME:
Mommy Zebra keeps looking at the twins Zig and Zag. Something feels strange.
“You always eat cornflakes, Zig,” she says.
“I want granola,” Zig says with a laugh.
– And you, Zag… you always eat granola! – Mom says, shaking her head.
“I want cornflakes,” Zag says decisively.
She takes two bowls and puts the two different cereals in them.
– Can't you see? - Zig asks sweetly.
Zig looks at Zag. The two burst into laughter.
– You two are up to something. I just know that – Mom protests.
The twins can't stop giggling. Mom looks at them very closely:
“One minute.” She strains her eyes.
The twins try to be serious.
– Aha! I think I already know! – she exclaims. Then Mom laughs and shakes her head.
– Zag, you're wearing Zig's green blouse.
Zag nods in agreement.
– And Zig, you're wearing Zag's pink blouse, right?
Zig admits.
– You little brats! - Mom laughs.
The twins laugh and get carried away.
– We almost fooled you, Mom! - says Zag.
– But we can't eat the cereals we hate! - Zig laughs.
