Parto no RPG das Minas

A pessoa sente dor como
se fosse diarréia. Aí sai muita água como se fosse xixi. Tem que
fazer uma cama de palha bonita que parece batata frita com cheddar.
Pode fazer curso por correspondência se souber ler.

Pro parto, precisa de
água, toalha e cachorrinhos, mas se não tiver cachorrinhos pode ser
um carneiro e uma galinha. Grávidas não gostam de cerveja com chá.

ATENÇÃO: não pode
usar pepino de supositório em grávidas porque faz mal.

A grávida tem que
cantar e as amigas ficam olhando pra ver se a vaquinha sai. Aí tem
que fazer respiração de árvore com a pessoa, porque vai sair uma
vaquinha humana de dentro dela. Ela pode caminhar do lado da árvore
pra ajudar. Pode usar um pintinho se não conseguir a galinha porque
a galinha tem outros filhotes.

Pode fazer teste de
Fazendeira pra ajudar a vaquinha humana a nascer. A amiga que é
forte pode empurrar a grávida e a outra joga o pintinho na cara
dela. Não pode bater na barriga dela senão aparece água na cara.

Aí reza pra Lena pra
ela ajudar. Aí ela desmaia, acorda, faz declaração de amor e nasce
a vaquinha humana, mas não é vaquinha, é só humana.
