NAME:

Silvia's helper's day

Mr. Horse is frantically cleaning the office. There is dust flying everywhere. The snake Silvia will help you today, on her helper's day. He wants everything perfect. “I'm just going to put these papers in here and everything will be in order” he thinks. He pushes a stack of papers under his desk.
– Hi, Mr. Horse – calls Silvia as she enters.
– Hey, Silvia! Good to see you! – he exclaims.

– What is it like to be a mayor? – Silvia asks.
“There's a lot to do,” laughs Mr. Horse. – It is necessary to solve the residents' problems as if a clock were struck by lightning.
– Right – laughs Silvia. – The monkey Ivo does that.
“And give speeches and give out awards,” he adds, pointing to the speaker and the podium. “And there's a lot of paperwork,” he sighs.
– Well, can I help you? – Silvia asks.
– I was thinking that you could prepare an opening speech for the small presentation that Aconchego and Dr. Cocoró will do it tomorrow. Would you like to do this? – he asks anxiously.
- Yea! I would love! – Silvia gets carried away. I will need some help on what to say. But first, how about we organize all this paperwork on your desk?
Mr. Horse stares at Silvia, then looks down.
– You know, it would be really, really good, Silvia!
They pick up a pile and start organizing, chatting about tomorrow's opening speech as they work.
