NAME:

Silvia sleeps outside

The parents of the snake Silvia go to a big dance ball in Ilha Grande. It will be too late to catch the last ferry and return at night. So they asked the mother of the sheep Babi if Silvia could sleep in their house.
- Of course! – says the mother sheep – We'll love it!
Silvia arrives after dinner with a suitcase. The friends are playing outside on the scales, eating the popcorn that Mom made.

“It's bath time and bed time,” Mom sings after sunset. Soon, the friends are covered in bed.
– Good night, Silvia – Babi wishes.
– Good night, Babi. Have sweet dreams - Silvia answers.
She falls asleep in seconds. Babi starts dreaming when some things wake her up.
– Rooonc! Rooonc! Roonc! – Silvia continues.
- Oh no! – Babi mumbles to herself – Silvia is snoring! What do I do?
Babi tries to sleep. She sinks her head under the pillow, but as she does so, she can't breathe.
– I need to make Silvia stop! – Babi decides.
She gives Silvia a little shake.
– Silvia, please wake up. You're snoring – she whispers gently.
Silvia turns away. Silence. Babi goes back to bed. Just when he's almost asleep, he hears it again: Roonc! Roonc! Roonc!
Sighing, Babi takes the pillow, goes down the hall, and climbs into Brother Baby's crib.
