NAME:

Stand up, marmots!

Nhonhote, the marmot, is awakened by strange noises, shakes her sister:
- I am scared! – says Nhonhote – Listen!
– Let me sleep! - Cracote grumbles, curling up under his blanket.
She steps timidly to the window, pushes the cracks and… oh! A light ray of sunlight dazzles her!
– Cracot! Cracot! – yells – Spring has arrived! It's not time to hibernate anymore!
Ghonhote understood; those noises were coming from her stomach… She's hungry for a wolf! He hasn't eaten for months!

So Cracote sets up a table and two chairs on the terrace, then brings out a large plate of beans.
– Good appetite, little sister! – he says – And soon we will catch many locusts! Hmm!…
