NAME:

Dirty writes a letter

The mother zebra and Sujinho the hyena are in the backyard after dinner.
– Dirty – Mom says – would you like to send a letter to your family? I know how happy you were when you got theirs. I'm sure they would love to hear how you are.
Sujinho thinks for a few seconds and then nods.
- You can write for me? - he asks.
- I would love! – the mother zebra answers. She picks up paper and pen.

– Dear family – Sujinho begins – Thank you for your beautiful letter. I was really happy. I miss you a lot. I think about you every day. I'm having fun with the Zebra family. Most of the time, I know who each of the twins is. Zig and Zag have nice friends, and they make me feel almost like I'm from here. But Firefly Island is not like home. I miss you and our house and everything. I can't wait to go back.
Dirty stops and looks at the mother zebra.
'I don't mean to say you're being mean to me,' he says in a low voice.
The mother zebra pats his shoulders.
– Dirty, we know how difficult it must be for you.
So do not worry. Did she know that she's already spent more than half of her stay with us? - Mommy zebra smiles.
- Truth? – Dirty gets carried away and hugs her – I think I'll miss you soon!
