Brr brrr Patapim, il mio cappello è pieno di Slim! Nel bosco fitto e misterioso viveva un essere assai curioso. Con radici intrecciate e gambe incrociate, mani sottili, braccia agitate. Il suo naso lungo come un prosciutto, un po' babbuino, un po' cespugliotto. Si chiamava Patapim, oh che strano, e parlava Italiano… ma con accento arcanol. Un giorno trovo un cappello dorato, "Perfetto!" grido, "che bel risultato!" Ma dentro c'era Slim, il ranocchio blu, che faceva "Brrr brrr!" senza un perche in piu. Patapim piangeva: "Mio caro cappello! Ora c'e Slim, che guaio, che duello!" Saltave, rideva, si disperava, ma il ranocchio mai se ne andava. Con fogile sui gomiti e muschio sul mento corse nel bosco spinto dal vento. Ando dal mago Tiramisu, chiedendo aluto con un gran "Ciuu ciuu!" Il mago rispose, mangiando un panino: "Per togliere Slim, serve un palloncino!" Cosi Patapim, con gran confusione, soffio nel pallone con emozione. Slim volo, con un grande BOOM, sparendo nel cielo come un bel fungo di fumo! Ora Patapim balla nel vento.
