NAME:
– Mom, can you teach me to sew? – The hippopotamus Horacio asks.
- Of course! Why do you want to learn? – She asks in surprise. Quickly, Horacio explains about the flag. Mom nods and smiles.
– Sounds like a wonderful idea, Horacio. Lets start now.
She goes to get the sewing box and some scraps of fabric. Then he threads the needle for each of them.
“Sewing is simple,” she says. – You hold the needle this way and the fabric with the other hand – Mom explains, showing Horacio.
“Be careful, the tip of the needle can hurt,” she says.
“Okay,” Horacio replies, his eyes wide open.
– Just put the needle into the fabric. Well. Now he pushes the tip up and out of the fabric a little higher.
- There! – He yells a few moments later. – I got chopped. I'm bleeding! He sucks his little finger.
– Honey, didn't I say the tip of the needle could hurt? - She laughs.
– But it hurts! - He mumbles.
- Come here. I'll kiss her and it'll get better.” She smiles.
– You really said it hurt – Horacio laughs.
After a few not so good spots, it gets better. – I didn't know it was so easy to sew!
– Horacio opens a smile, continuing with the sewing.
Mom gives him a quick hug.
– You're doing great! Now, let's look in my patch bag for some pretty purple fabric for you.
It's Horacio's favorite color, of course.
