Won’t you lay your big spike down?

Riu’s class in Barbabum is Cargols, meaning snails. Each kid in the class has an animal name, and her name is also ‘cargol.’ 

So she’s the cargol of the Cargols.

There’s also a cargol’s song that she likes to sing.

It goes (in Catalan):

Cargol treu banya,
puja a la muntanya.
Cargol treu vi,
puja al muntanyí.

Cargol treu banya,
puja a la muntanya.
Cargol bover,
jo també vindré!

In English, that goes: 

Snail show your horns,
climb up the mountain, 
Snail show wine,
climb up the little hill.

Snail show your horns,
climb up the mountain,
Bover Snail,
I’ll come with you!

If this makes no sense to you, then you mustn’t be Catalan. 

Riu gets it. Català pur…

New jigsaw for a Superwoman. Pau looks on.

Riu tried out this rocking horse in a jeweller’s shop.

Note how she has pigtails and a ponytail at the top of her head today. Barbabum (the creche) wanted the children to change their hairstyles, for some reason.
