Zof and Zuf were two sister flies, very fond of each other, but who always threw things at each other's heads. In the end, it was all a joke. But sometimes, certain fights ended badly.
“Come on, Zof, enough of the pranks. Tell me where you kept my food! I'm dog hungry and haven't had lunch today! said Zuf, with a menacing gesture.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Until recently it was on the table, ready to be served. replied the liar Zof. "And so it went on."
One day Zuf, who was the only one who worked, came home in a bad mood. To be more exact, it had been spitting fire. Zof didn't notice anything and prepared his usual joke.
"May I know where you put one of my red sneakers, Zof?" growled Zuf, ready to tear the house down.
'I don't know, Zuf. I'm so distracted!…” Zof replied theatrically.
"Either give me my favorite sneaker now or I'll rip your wings out by the roots!" threatened Zuf.
As her sister burst out laughing, Zuf went from words to action. This time they actually fought. From that date, Zof began to be very careful before playing a prank on his sister, avoiding jokes at inopportune times. A good student is one who learns on time, my friend.
