NAME:

The Zig and Zag Confusion

– Let's play house – says the snake Silvia to the zebra Zig. They are in Silvia's room. Zag, Zig's twin sister, is shopping with her mother.
Zig nods and says:
- It's ok! I'm running home to get my afternoon tea things - And she leaves.
Silvia puts a tablecloth on the table to make the house. So she puts the kids – a teddy bear and a doll – in there.

Silvia's mother calls:
– Silvia, you have company! – And Silvia is going to meet Zig. - Did you find your afternoon tea stuff? – She asks, seeing that her friend is not bringing anything.
– What afternoon tea things? - The little zebra asks.
– What do you mean “what afternoon tea thing”? – Silvia asks confused.
– I'm sorry, Silvia, I don't know what you're talking about – replies her friend, also confused.
Just then, Silvia's mother calls her:
– Silvia you have more company! – Silvia goes to the door, really confused. There appears another little zebra with a box of afternoon tea things.
– Oh, now I get it! – Silvia laughs. - Zag arrived while you were away, and I thought she was you! I didn't understand why she didn't bring her afternoon tea stuff, and she didn't understand what I was talking about! But come in, Zig! Let's all play house!
