NAME:

The discovery of gallant

The Galante cock is excited. He figured out how to get taller!
“I always wanted to be tall,” he tells himself. – I hope this works.
Galante has found two wooden blocks in his vegetable garden and is securing them under his claws with a strap.
- All very well! – he cackles. – My stilts are ready!
- That's it! - He happily approves. Galante puts one foot after the other.

Trump! Trump! Tump! Trump!
Marching through the garden with his neck stretched out, he can see what is happening on the other side of the wall.
– Hey, I can see everything! - He gets carried away, proud.
Looking over the wall, he suddenly sees Mr. Horse kissing Ms. Paula Pony. Then he laughs shyly and he also giggles. They don't notice Galante watching.
– This I have to tell my wife. She is in the office, taking care of the patients - Galante says.
Dr. Cocoró is talking to the toucan Solar when Galante runs in.
– I just saw our mayor, Mr. Horse, kiss Ms. Paula Pony! - He says, all flustered. Do you believe it?
- Truth? Are you kidding us, Galante? – Solar asks. – This I have to tell the Frili penguin and the customers of our cafeteria! – And she runs home.
At that moment, Mr. Cavalo enters the cafeteria and the customers begin to greet him.
– Congratulations, Mr. Mayor, on your new girlfriend!
Mr. Horse blushes.
– How do you know that?
– Well, good news travels fast! – Solar laughs.
– Well, it's good news indeed! - He says beaming.
