NAME:

Horacio the juggler

Hippo Horacio is learning to juggle handkerchiefs with Dad.
– Start with the blue one, Horacio. Throw the handkerchief up and catch it with a paw – says Dad, showing how it's done.
- I achieved! – Horacio exclaims.
“Let's try it out with two handkerchiefs now,” Dad says. – Hold one in each paw, then throw. – He catches one and then the other as they float down.

– Super! - Exclaims Dad. – Now, a harder trick. Throw just a handkerchief, one lap and then pick it up.
– There you go! – Horacio laughs, shooting and turning. He can't catch it.
- Again! - He yells, tossing the scarf higher and taking another turn.
- Damn it! Once again! – Horacio complains. Now he catches it!
– Oops! exclaims Horacio, staggering. - I feel dizzy! Everything is running! - He sits up with a thud. Dad laughs and helps him up.
– You're doing great! Now for a harder trick. Toss one handkerchief a little to the side of your body: Toss the other a little to the other side. Catch each with the other paw.
Horacio throws a handkerchief, then the other. The two fall on his head!
– HUUU, HO-HO-HO! HUUU, HO-HO-HO-HO! – Dad laughs and pulls Horácio's head scarves. – If you pay attention to where you are throwing each handkerchief, it gets easier.
Horacio tries one more time, and it works!
- That's it! – Dad exclaims, clapping his hands.
Horacio bows and gives Dad a hug.
