NAME:

the jumping team

- Damn it! I'll try again! – complains, out of breath, the hippopotamus Horacio.
Horacio found a long rope yesterday. He is trying to jump rope with her.
“Okay, there you go.” He twists the rope over his head.
- What the hell! – Horacio grumbles again when she slaps him on the back.
– My butt is too big – he laments – but I'll learn to jump rope, for sure!
Giraffe Giro and snake Silvia appear.

– What are you trying to do, Horacio? – Silvia asks.
- Jump rope. Or at least try – Horacio replies sullenly.
- What is the problem? - Asks Giro.
– I leave the rope as long as possible, but it can't get around me – Horacio says a little embarrassed.
Silvia feels sorry for Horacio.
– All right, Horacio, let's try another way – Silvia says. She takes one end of the rope and gives the other to Giro.
– Come on, Horacio, stay by the rope and jump when I say – she guides.
“Hit the rope with me,” she asks Giro. The rope makes a big circle in the air.
When it hits the ground, Silvia shouts to Horacio: “Jump!”, and Horacio jumps over the rope.
– Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump! – he keeps scoring.
– Hey, I'm getting it! – shouts Horacio. Then he trips over the rope and falls to the ground.
- Damn it! – he complains, but he's smiling.
- I achieved! – he celebrates. - Thank you guys!
