The snake Silvia is in the library. She loves picture books.
“I'll borrow this one,” she says, flipping through the pages of a book about a princess.
She suddenly needs to go to the bathroom.
– I have to run! - she thinks.
She runs to the bathroom, enters, locks the door, takes off her clothes and sits down.
- Ufa! Just in time! - She giggles.
When it's over, she tries to open the door.
– It's locked! – she exclaims. Her heart starts to race.

Silvia forces the door.
– She won't open! Help! Help! - She screams.
But nobody shows up. She looks around, wondering what to do.
– Hey, wait a minute! – she says suddenly.
She bends down and peers into a small space under the door.
– I think I can get out of here squeezing! Then she manages to get through the hole.
- I am free! I am free! – she screams – Phew! I'm very happy to be skinny.
