Chapter 7 - Fire in the School (4)

Crocodile trying to open the mouth
MAKI

What? But he is always in the river!

MONKITO

That’s what you think! He has devised a way to guarantee his lunch for a long time.

MAKI

His lunch?

MONKITO

Yes, you stupid girl, a big lunch: US!!!!

MAKI

He wanted to eat us?

MONKITO

The whole band of crocodiles was planning to have a monkey banquet…

MAKI

But… why provoking a fire?

MONKITO

The fire was the way to get us out of the school.

MAKI

I see… What can we do, then?

MONKITO

I have a plan… We will go to the river with a basket full of meat bones.

MAKI

(SARCASTIC) Great plan… you are feeding them!

MONKITO

Not exactly, Maki. Once they close their mouths to eat the bones they won’t be able to open them again…

MAKI

Why?

MONKITO

We will cover the meat bones with glue!!!

ELPHI

So they did… The plan worked out well and they got rid of the band of crocodiles! But more important, they learnt to react quickly to the various emergency situations, like fires. (LAUGHS) They even organized a club of fire fighters at the school!
