Read the text                              hippo

There was a greedy hippo. He ate everything in sight, from cheese to peas, chips and cakes.Hippo was selfish. He ate everybody’s food- the cat’s, the dog’, the cow’s. One morning  after breakfast he jumped into the lake and couldn’t  get out. That was a big mistake. The hippo began to shout.

”Help, please, I’m sinking. Pull me out”.

The animals pulled and pulled as hard as they could. The animals got angry and decided to play a trick on him. They made a pie from fish and soap.

”We have made a pie especially for you”.

”Thanks”, he said, ”I’ll eat it now”.

Hippo swallowed the special pie and went back into the lake. He felt sick. He had a tummy ache. The cooks were happy. Hippo learnt his lesson and left the town.
