NAME:

Dirty's punishment

– I just thought it would be funny – Dirty hyena, says to daddy Zebra the next day.
- Funny? What's so funny about almost setting fire to the hideout? What would have happened if Horacio hadn't put out the fire? – Dad asks very angry – And if someone got hurt? – he continues.
– I did it without thinking – Dirty says – I'm really sorry. I'll never do this again,” he says.

- Dirty, you're not my son, but I need to give you a punishment - Dad says.
Sujinho nods, feeling terrible now.
– Please go talk to Mr. Horse, our mayor.
Tell him you're going to wash the fire engine yourself. As you do this, think about how dangerous matches are.
Sujinho agrees and leaves to meet Mr. Horse.
Three hours later, a very tired Sujinho returns home. He's all wet and looks sad.
“I did what you said,” he tells Papa Zebra.
“I'm never playing with matches again,” he says.
“I'm glad you learned your lesson,” Dad says. He smiles and completes:
– All right, Dirty, let's leave it behind. Let's have dinner.
“Okay,” mumbles Dirty, and he joins the Zebra family at the dinner table.
