Flu vaccine

On the island of Fireflies, it's time for everyone to get a flu shot. Villagers receive the vaccine on the same day at the city hall.
- I do not want to go! – declares Zig.
- Me either! - complains Zag.
– Nobody likes to be vaccinated – says mother Zebra – but she makes us feel good.
– But it hurts! - Zig whimpers.
– É! - Zag insists, pouting.
– Hear that Dr. Cocoró is using a new method this year. It hardly hurts – says Mom – anyway, it's time to go, so let's get our vaccine and then stop by a cafe. Isn't that better? - Mom asks.

- Yea! – both exclaim.
At the city hall, Dr. Cocoró is applying the vaccines.
Every citizen rolls up one of their sleeves. She puts a fine needle in her arm and presses a button. It makes a little popping noise. Only that.
Soon it's Zig's turn. She is scared and holds her arm.
Dr. Cocoró smiles and says:
– Hi Zig! I really liked the ribbons in your hair!
- Oh thanks! – Zig responds – I bought it at… oh!… Mr. Ptero's store. It's already gone? It almost didn't even hurt!
– Not bad, huh? – answers Dr. Cocoro.
She quickly vaccinates Zag, their mother, and that's it.
- Snack time! – the twins exclaim.
They run to the cafe and Mom follows them smiling.
