There was a greedy hippo. He ate everything in sight.
From cheese to peas, chips and 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 the lake.
One big splash and 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? Yes I will help you. Now we are friends.
