NAME:

Zag's helper day

Mr. Dino is at the campsite on the way back from Firefly Village.
– Ah, here she comes! he says, making a sign with his hand as Zag pedals through the fallen leaves.
– Hi, Mr. Dino! - She greets, jumping off the bike.
- Welcome! Let's get the job done. We have a very important task to do today – he says.
Mr. Dino leads Zag into the forest.
“We need to put this plate over some mushrooms that are poisonous,” he informs, showing Zag a small plate with a handle.

– Poisonous? - blinks Zag - Like the story of Snow White, when the evil stepmother poisons an apple?
- Exactly! – Mr. Dino answers – These can really make us very, very sick. So we need to make sure that no one will touch them or try them out at all,” he says.
Soon, they reach a mushroom plot. The mushrooms found have a red top and white spots.
'They look cute, like tiny umbrellas,' says Zag, 'who would have thought they were poisonous?
- So it is! – comments Mr. Dino – Children should never touch or taste mushrooms without an adult who knows them well. Good types taste great, but this type is dangerous and this is no joke.
He hands the plate to Zag. She buries it in the ground beside the mushroom plantation.
– I'm saving someone's life! – she exclaims.
– You might actually be doing this. – Mr. Dino says – Now it's time for us to have a safe snack.
