NAME:

step on ants

Giraffe Giro is wondering if she did the right thing. He feels sad for Sujinho, the hyena. “I certainly wouldn't want to be away from my family all summer,” he thought.
So Giro invited Sujinho to come play.
– Let's play builders? – Spin asks.
– No, not from builders! – Dirty complains loudly.
So he asks:
– What are builders?
“We put on some service shirts and helmets and pretend we're building a house or something. I have a lot of hammers, saws, drills and stuff – Giro explains – It's fun! - it says.

– No, that sounds silly – Dirty says.
- It's ok. So blocks? - Asks Giro.
– No, they're silly too – Sujinho declares.
– From the western? – Spin asks hopefully.
- No.
Giro then tries something different.
– Dirty, what do you want to play?
“Let's go outside and step on some ants,” Sujinho says, looking at Giro.
– Stepping on ants? Do you find this fun?
– It's a joke – Sujinho gives a weak smile – I think I'm going home – he says and leaves.
Spin shakes his head in amazement.
