NAME:

Horacio's helper day

As the hippopotamus Horácio loves to cook and eat, today he's going to work with the Frili penguin and the Solar tucana in their cozy cafeteria.
– We are very happy for you to be with us! – Solar says when Horacio arrives. Frili shows Horacio the kitchen and the giant freezer, which he can enter.
– You'd better put your coat on, Horacio. It's super cold in there! - Frili jokes - I love it!

– Look at all these ice creams! – Horacio exclaims, and his breath makes a little cloud in the icy air.
- Would you like to serve Ms. Tic now? – Solar asks, giving him a cup of tea to be taken to the client. – Thank you, Horacio! - she smile.
Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz!
- What is it? – Horacio asks himself, turning to look. It's the Gallant Rooster! He is snoring at the table.
– Mr. Galante! Horacio calls, shaking his wing. - Wake up! Wake up!
– Hmmm! – Mr. Galante wakes up suddenly. - It's time? Has the sun risen yet? - He mutters.
– Mr. Galante, you are in the cafeteria at Solar.
The sun was up hours ago! – Horacio chuckles.
– Horacio as you can see, sometimes funny things happen in our little cafeteria! – Solar smiles.
– Yes, but it seems to be a great job! Thanks!
– Horacio laughs. – Have a nice day Mr. Galante!
