One day, the last lizard in the world woke up late to go to class.
He went down stairs for breakfast, but there was nothing on the table and his mother wasn´t at home either. He thought his mum had gone to work and had forgotten to make him breakfast.
The last lizard in the world went directly to school very hungry, and the street seemed empty and very quiet.
