NAME:

playing with match

The little friends are in hiding.
Sujinho, the hyena, brings something to show her friends.
– Matches! – they scream, alarmed.
“We can't play with this,” Zebra Zig says firmly.
Her sister Zag shakes her head and frowns.
– Dirty, what are you thinking? - Asks Giro, the giraffe. - This is dangerous!
– Are you afraid of these little things? – Dirty provokes.

– No, as long as they don't get burned – jokes the hippopotamus Horacio.
– Well, I'll light some – Sujinho announces.
Zig and Zag exit the Hideout.
Dirty light a match and stares at the flame as it burns fast, down to his finger.
- There! - He yells and throws him away.
The lit match falls on a piece of paper in a corner of the hiding place. Suddenly the paper is on fire!
- Fast! Let's go out! shouts Giro, and the friends run out the door.
But Horacio is left behind. She steps onto the burning paper and puts out the fire. And then it leaves.
He is furious. Dirty is looking at the ground.
– That was really stupid! – shouts Horacio. – I hope it's the last of his big ideas!
“Horácio, I'm sorry,” says Sujinho. – I'll never do that again.
He returns home embarrassed.
