NAME:

the borrowed book

The Babi sheep is taking a wonderful bubble bath. As she sees a beautiful picture book that she borrowed from the zebras Zig and Zag, she is immersed in the warm, soapy water.
“I would like to be this princess,” she says to Mom, who is putting away some clean towels. Babi spotted a curly-haired princess. The book is quite heavy, and when Babi points to the princess, it slips into the water.

- Oh no! Babi screams, trying to get the book out of the water as fast as she can. But it's too late. He's all underwater now.
– Mom, help me here!
Babi's mother looks into the bathtub.
– Oh, Babi, you didn't bring that book into the bathtub, did you? – she says, shaking her head and taking the book out of the water.
Babi sobs.
– It's Zig and Zag's book. I'm in big trouble now!
“Honey, I think you're really in big trouble,” Mom says sadly. - Let me get you out of the water and dry it. Then we'll see what to do.
Soon, Babi is in bed. Mommy curls up next to her.
– What if we bought a new book for Zig and Zag? – Babi asks.
“I think it's a really good idea,” Mom smiles, stroking Babi's locks. – You can do this tomorrow.
– Thank you, Mom – Babi mumbles sleepily.
