NAME:

the sleeping beauty

It's time to sleep. Mr. Horse is in his pajamas, brushing his teeth.
“I've been putting a few drops of this magic hair oil in my mane every night for a while now.
He keeps looking at himself very close to the mirror, turning his head from side to side.
– I think my hair is growing back! - He comments happily.
'Come on, here's tonight's treatment,' he says, smearing a few drops of magic oil on his mane and rubbing it. He goes to bed. Soon, he is almost asleep. But then he has an idea.

– Maybe I should add a little more magic oil. Would that make my mane grow faster?
Mr. Horse goes back to the bathroom and sprinkles some more oil.
Then he climbs into bed.
However, once again, just when he is almost asleep, he gets up.
“Maybe just a little longer,” he mutters. There he goes to the bathroom again.
And then he shuffles back to bed.
- Hmmmm. Now I can really enjoy my beauty sleep! - He smiles and, in a few minutes, is already snoring.
And what does he dream of? He is the beautiful horse that Zorro rides in the movies. With a long, flowing mane, of course!
