hiccups

The Zig and Zag zebras are laughing like crazy. Zag has a hiccup, which comes every few seconds, and he can't stop. Every time she sobs, the twins burst into laughter again.
– Hic! – does Zag.
– Aah! - Zig squeals and the two practically fall to the ground laughing.
- I can not stop! Hic!
Zag tries to cover his mouth, but it's no use.
– Hic! – Here she comes again.
– Oh, Zag, you have to stop! - Zig comments breathlessly.

- I do not know how! Hic! - Zag struggles to answer.
Zig has an idea. She looks serious at Zag.
“Look into my eyes,” she asks.
Zag looks hard at Zig.
– Boooo! - shouts Zig.
Zag jumps, and her eyes widen.
- It worked? - Zig asks, giving his sister a caress.
“I don't know,” replies Zag doubtfully. – I have to wait a second to see if…Hic!
- Ahhh! - Zig laughs embarrassed - It didn't work.
The twins laugh harder than before.
– Oh, Zag, you have to stop! I can't bear to laugh anymore! My stomach is even hurting! - Zig finally says.
- I do not know what to do! - Zag retorts.
A moment later, in a low voice, she says:
– Hey, I think it's gone!
