NAME:

What do you want to be?

The Babi sheep, the snake Silvia and the zebras Zig and Zag are at an afternoon tea meeting at the Zebra family home. Silvia asks her friends:
– What do you want to be when you grow up?
Babi knows:
– A postal worker, like Ms. Tic. I would love to see people smile when they pick up letters from mailboxes!
Zig, who likes books, says:
– I want to have a gift shop, like mrs. Dino, and sells books and gifts. And read Stories to kids.

Zag, who loves being outdoors, says:
– For me, managing the campsite, like Mr. Dino, would be great. And you, Silvia?
Silvia giggles.
– I want to be mayor, like Mr. Horse. I would give speeches every day.
Zig and Zag's mom arrives with cookies.
“Thanks, Mom,” smiles Zag. They happily help themselves and chew their cookies, making a lot of noise.
– What have you been talking about? - Mom asks.
They tell her about their dreams. Mommy Zebra claps her hands.
“I think that's great,” she says. – Would you like me to ask these adults to let you work with them for a morning? So you can see how their work really is!
– Yeeeeeeeee! – all respond. – This will be really fun! – Babi says. – I hope they say yes! Can't wait to get started!
