The slide

The slide to the pool was what attracted most the children from 13 to 16 years old. The stairs aside slide were full of kids who formed a huge queue.

The stairs next of the attraction were done of the same material of the slide, a hard blue plastic, in fact, the stairs and the slide were both part of the same toy.

"Let's go, hurry!" said the 15 years-old wolf for the goat, pushing the little 12 years-old goat's back, which was already at the top. The fox and the rabbit behind him began to laugh and the bear behind them began to curse and complain of the goat delay. He never had spoken with the rabbit before, but the other three were a group who lived making fun of him.

The little goat was almost entering to the slide side, when he turned 180 degrees and went down the stairs. It was almost like going down in the slide, with the exception that each step of the stairs he hit made him do a short hop, causing him to hit his head on the playmates in line who were all on his way down.

The goat kept his head relatively raised while slid in the stairs with great speed. Dozens of people on the stairs tried to stop him from winning down, but he passed between their legs, and what got in the way of his forehead was not even enough to impose some resistance to the goat downward motion.

His forehead hit the wolf with a smack and was gaining strength in the fall, if for the wolf it was just a flick, for the rabbit the forehead came as a smack. If the bear had been higher on the stairs, the goat would have lost all the speed in the bear, but when the goat came to him, the speed already was too fast and the beat was just like all the others.

Beating things on his forehead felt like water droplets hitting the goat when he gets his head out of the car window in the rain. He had the impression of hearing a dog howling, followed by a cat barking, and then a goat meowing, after that he didn't know more, everything was a confusion of sounds.

The goat arrived to the stairs bottom, looked up and saw those tens of fallen people, almost all unknown to him; he dissembled and moved away as if it was nothing.
