NAME:

Mr. Horse's bullhorn speaker

Mr. Horse, the mayor, vibrated with enthusiasm. Tink had just arrived. Captain Vacôncia carefully docks the ferry. So she yells at him:
– Hello, there on earth! We have a package for you!
- I know! – shouts Mr. Horse – It's my ox horn!
– What do you want an ox horn for? – asks the snake Silvia, standing nearby.
– It's not a real bull's horn, my dear – smiles the mayor – It's called that because it's shaped like ox horns, but when you talk inside it, your voice gets louder.

Silvia knows how much Mr. Cavalo loves to make speeches.
- Ah understood! - she says. – You have the soap box to be on top and everyone can see you better. Now, with the ox horn, everyone will surely listen.
- Exactly! – Mr. Horse smiles, happy. Captain Vacôncia descends from Tink and hands Mr. Cavalo a strangely shaped package. He rips open the wrapping and admires his new speaker.
– Isn't it a beauty? – he asks, stroking it.
'Without a doubt,' smiles Silvia.
– Come here – he calls Silvia, smiling at her – try it, after all you are my speech consultant.
Silvia puts the smallest part of the speaker in her mouth and, with a formal voice, shouts:
- Heads up! Attention! Mr. Horse's ox horn has arrived!
Doors and windows open suddenly and residents stretch to see what's going on.
– I think it worked! – laughs Mr. Horse.
- You bet! – comments Silvia. – I can't wait to actually listen to your next speech!
