NAME:

Paper airplanes

The little friends are in hiding, busy with a secret plan. They've been working hard.
“This is my last one,” says Dino Dino, adding a paper airplane to a huge pile of them.
- Wow! We did it! – celebrates the hippopotamus Horacio.
Everyone leans back to admire the pile.
– It's time to take everything to the tower – warns the snake Silvia.
Carefully, they put the planes in a bag and head off towards the city hall. Silently, they climb the stairs to the top of the tower, whispering and giggling with contentment.

– Look: The adults are returning from their monthly meeting! – whispers the snake Silvia – Now! - She commands - Stay low and silent!
The children start launching paper airplanes from the top of the tower.
- What is happening? Look at these planes! scream the adults, marveling at all those little paper planes flying and diving around them.
– Who's doing this? – someone asks and looks up.
The children peer out from the tower, amazed at their success.
– They look so tiny! And no one has any idea that it's us up here – the snake Silvia smiles softly.
After the planes' last landings, the adults go home, talking about that mystery.
– I can't wait to see what they have to say – declares Silvia – let's go back home soon!
