Chiara alidondosha kopo ndani ya maji. Lilitumbukia polepole. Pasta hakuruka.
Polly alikaa kwenye ukingo. Kaa lilihama ndani ya kopo. Pasta aligusa kopo kwa mkono mmoja. Mikono yake inaweza kuonja kile inachogusa.
Pasta alikusanya kopo kwa mikono miwili. Alikizungusha polepole. Mkono wa tatu ulifanya kazi kwenye mfuniko.
Pweza wanaweza kufungua makopo yenye mfuniko wa kuzungusha. Wamekuwa wakifanya hivyo maabara tangu miaka ya 1950. Wanahisi nyuzi kwa vishikizo vyao. Kisha wanazungusha mfuniko.
Pasta alizungusha mfuniko. Ulifunguka. Kaa alijaribu kutoroka. Lakini mkono wa nne wa Pasta ulikuwa unangoja. Kaa alitoweka.
Chiara aliandika kwenye kibao chake. "Dakika tatu. Anakuwa mwepesi."
Pweza ni viumbe wa ajabu sana. Wana mioyo mitatu. Damu yao ni ya buluu. Wanaishi miaka mitatu hadi mitano tu. Pasta alikuwa tayari na miaka miwili.
Angejifunza kila kitu angeweza kujua katika muda aliobaki nao.
