NAME:

Pchu!

The little friends are sitting outside the hideout. It's a hot afternoon, but they're having a great time.
The snake Silvia brought slices of cold watermelon to share with everyone.
– Wow, this tastes amazing! – exclaims the hippopotamus Horace after the first bite.
– Watermelon is my favorite fruit in the whole world! – Says the Babi sheep.
– I've never eaten before – says Sujinho, the hyena – It's very good.
– Check this out, Sujinho – says the dinosaur Dino. He takes a bite of the watermelon, chews it, swallows it and makes an open beak with its mouth.

– Pchu!
He spits out a watermelon seed, which flies into the middle of the forest.
– Hey, I can do better than that! - yells the zebra Zag.
– Pchu!
Everyone laughs because Zig's seed goes even further than Dino's. Within moments, everyone is spitting seeds all over the place, and even on each other. It's a crazy game they just invented.
– Pchu! Pchu! Pchu!
– I could never do this at home – Silvia says breathlessly.
- Me neither! - Zag laughs.
– Pchu!
They were all in a row. One by one, the friends try to see who spits farther. Zag wins.
– Well I said! – she celebrates – World champion!
