NAME:

the big jump into the water

– Welcome to the big jump into the water! yells Mr. Horse into his speaker. The entire village is on the beach, everyone is excited and wearing weird costumes.
The little friends were first. They were left standing inside the bottomless paper boat.
- Left! Right! Left! – Giro yells in front. They march the boat to the end of the dock, making an incredible drop into the water.

– Hoooooo! – screams the crowd when they come back to the surface.
– It's the monkey Ivo's turn! - screams Mr. Horse.
Ivo sits on his catapult. He twitches his nose and pulls the rope to fly towards the water.
Creeecc! The catapult breaks.
– Oh, dammit! – Ivo exclaims – I'm heavier than a tomato!
Dr. Cocoró and the Galante rooster will follow.
“We chickens hate getting wet, so we've got this,” she says, showing off their wetsuits and flippers.
They hurl themselves heavily from the dock and dive down, while the villagers applaud.
- Caution! Here I go! yells Mr. Ptero, running down the dock with a red kite flying behind him.
On purpose, he doesn't look where he's running and falls off the dock. Whoa! Whoa! Mr. Horse disappears from his tent below the dock. He wears a black mask and cape and swings a wooden sword. At the very end, he steps back a moment, makes a Z in the air, yells "Zorro!" and flies to water. Locals go crazy! He is the winner, everyone agrees!
– Finally, I won! - he screams. It's a big day for him!
