NAME:

poor little dirty

The mother zebra is giving Zig and Zag a bedtime bath.
– Mom, what's wrong with Dirty? – asks Zag – he looks angry or sad all the time.
Mom sighs.
– Your father and I have known Sujinho's family for a long time – she says – when we told them that we were moving to Firefly Island, they asked us if Sujinho could visit us this summer.
'He doesn't like it here,' declares Zag.
– I'm not sure about that. But, without a doubt, he misses his family – Mom replies.

She rubs Zig's back.
- They think it's good for him to stay with us. They have to work too hard to get food and water. Here we have a lot. But even though we like him, we're not his family.
- So that's why he's angry or sad? – asks Zig.
'I think he's a little angry because they just sent him here. He didn't have the opportunity to choose whether he wanted to come or stay home – Mom explains, washing Zag's back.
“Zig, let's try to make Sujinho feel better staying here,” says Zag.
Zig agrees.
– I was going to say the same thing. Imagine if it were us, away from mom and dad! - She shivers.
Mom gives Sujinho a bath while the twins get ready for bed. They hear two voices and water running in the bathroom.
