ECART Narrative

The Greedy Hippo Story

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 everybodys food. He ate the cats,
the dogs and the cows. He was very, very rude.
One morning after breakfast, he jumped into to the lake. One big splash and he was
stuck. That was a big mistake. The Hippo he sank deeper. Then he began to shout. Help!
Please help! Im sinking. Wont someone pull me out? The animals all pulled and pulled, as
hard as they were able. The animals all pulled and pulled, as hard as they were able. Out he
popped, ran past them all and ate everything on their table.
The animals were angry and thought theyd play a trick. They made a pie form fish and
soap to make old hippo sick. Here you are, weve made a pie, especially for you! Thanks he
said Ill eat it now. Ive 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 wasnt right, thought hippo. I fell quite odd inside. Now he had a
tummy ache, 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.
