NAME:

boat race

The little friends loved all the fuss about the fire hydrant flood yesterday.
– Look, it's still running! - says the snake Silvia, when they meet near the fire hydrant.
– A small river is forming! – shows the Giraffe Giro. He picks up a stick and floats it down the stream of water.
– Let's have a boat race! – says Silvia.
– Let's each get some stick or anything else that could be the boat!
They find sticks and leaves around there.

- Nice! This could be the starting line. Let's get the boats lined up and see who gets to port first! – Silvia says.
The small boats sway a little as the stream of water descends.
– Mine is winning! – screams the Babi sheep.
– Mine is reaching yours! – the hippopotamus Horace gets carried away.
They walk alongside the stream of water, each one cheering for their little boat.
Suddenly, all the little boats are getting slower.
- What is happening? - Babi complains.
“The water isn't running so fast anymore,” Horacio concludes, confused.
“It's about to stop,” Babi says, very disappointed.
– Hey, look back there! - Silvia shouts.
It is explained: The residents are repairing the fire hydrant. The leak is over.
– Damn, couldn't they wait until the race was over? – Babi complains, with a smile – I was going to win!
