There was a greedy hippo. He ate everything in sight. From cheese to peas, chips & cake, he always had a bite. Now hippo he was selfish. He ate everybody’s food. He ate the cat’s , the dog’s, the cow’s. He was very, very rude.
One morning after breakfast, he jumped into to the lake. One big splash & he was stuck. That was a big mistake. The hippo he sank deeper. Then began to shout. “Help! Please help! I’m sinking. Won’t someone pull me out?”. The animals all pulled & pulled , as hard as they were able. Out he popped, ran past them all & ate everything on their table.
The animals were angry & thought. They’d play a trick. They made a pie from fish & soap to make old hippo sick.
“Here you are, we’ve made a pie, especially for you!”
“Thanks” he said “I’ll eat it now. I’ve nothing else to do.”
First a nibble, then a bite. Then a great big swallow. He then went back into the lake, the place he loved to wallow.
But something wasn’t right, thought hippo. “I feel quite odd inside”.
Now he had a tummy acne, as the cooks looked on with pride.
Hippo learnt his lesson. It was the end of all their troubles. He was last seen leaving town blowing fishy bubbles.
