NAME:

Dirty receives a letter

Zebras Zig and Zag and Sujinho, the hyena, are picking up the mail at the post office.
– Look at Dirty! I see you got a letter today - smiles kindly mrs. Tico, the postal worker.
- And even? – says Dirty, surprised.
– Here it is – Mrs. Tico says, handing him an envelope covered in stamps. -I see it came from Africa.
That's where your family lives, isn't it?

'Yes,' he mutters, shoving the letter into his pocket. Zig and Zag look at each other with wide eyes and shut their mouths.
Back home, they whisper to their mother zebra that Sujinho received a letter.
– Dirty, would you like me to read the letter to you? – Mom asks gently.
“I think so,” mumbles Dirty.
– Dear Sujinho – she reads – we miss you very much and we hope you are having fun with the Zebra family. We're fine, but there's not much to eat and it's hard to find water. Please ask the Zebra family to help you write for us. With love mom, dad and hyeninhas.
Dirty coughs and turns away.
– It must be hard to be so far away from your family Mom says softly. Zig and Zag sigh.
– Yeah – Dirty replies – I'll write right back.
“This will really make your family happy,” says Mom.
– Let me know when you're ready.
Zig and Zag want to show the little guy that they feel sorry for him, but they don't know how.
“Hey, Dirty, let's play in the backyard,” Zag says at last.
'I'm glad to be home,' says Zig and Zag nods.
