NAME:

Have you all left?

The Zig Zebra is smiling, alone and standing in the sun in the middle of the firefly meadow. She is looking for flying butterflies to observe.
“Hmmm,” she says, after a long wait. “Not a single butterfly. Something is really wrong here!
She takes a few turns around the meadow.
Now Zig is worried. She starts to cry.
– Poor things! Where could they be? - She sobs.
– I need to talk to Mr. Dino. Something is wrong! - She concludes.

She gallops to the campsite. Mr. Dino, the camp administrator, knows all about nature.
– Mr. Dino – she calls when she sees him – something horrible has happened. The butterflies in the firefly meadow are all gone!
Mr. Dino gives Zig a little hug.
– Poor thing! Don't be sad, Zig. You're right: They left, but it's okay,” he says gently.
Zig calms down and wipes away his tears.
– Butterflies cannot live in the cold winter here on the island. Then they fly to a distant place that stays warm all winter. They will fly back next spring, when the temperature is warm again.
- Truth? – asks Zig, astonished – You mean these tiny beautiful creatures can do that?
- No doubt! – Mr. Dino laughs – Don't worry Zig, they will come back. I guarantee.
- So I'll be back to welcome them when they get here - laughs Zig - What a relief!
