NAME:

playing statue

All friends are in hiding.
The hippopotamus Horacio has already challenged them with riddles and made everyone laugh at the joke.
– Let's play something now – suggests the sheep Babi. Everyone agrees.
– Do you know how to play statues? – asks the zebra Zag. Only her sister knows. They played about it in their old country. Zag likes games where he has to move a lot.
– It goes like this: I am the sculptor of the statue. I grab the paw of one of the participants and spin the chosen one very fast. So I let go. He'll be dizzy, but he'll have to freeze instantly, like a statue. I spin everyone like that, until you all become statues. The first to move must be the new sculptor. Want to try it?

The little friends get carried away. Zag first grabs the Giro, spins it and releases it. He lands on his back with his feet up!
Then comes Babi. It ends up spinning non-stop and freezes on its side.
The rest of the friends end up in funny positions all over the place, unable to contain their laughter. It is impossible to remain perfectly still! Zag, the sculptor of the statues, passes through them watching. Giro's legs wobble.
- It's him! Giro is the sculptor of the statues now – Zag laughs and everyone gets up to play again.
