NAME:

Horacio finds the fish

The hippopotamus Horacio is strolling along the dock.
– Here, goldfish-fish-fish-fish! – he calls, throwing some pieces of biscuit into the water.
Horacio heard about a goldfish that some locals saw. He wants to see it too.
Horacio looks into the water. So he goes to a different place on the dock and looks down.
– I bet it's a lie. There are no goldfish – he sighs.

Suddenly, he notices a large shape at the bottom of the water, right under him.
- What is it? Is it him? Is it over there? - He keeps thinking.
The form rises slowly. Two little golden eyes stare into Horacio's eyes.
Horacio is almost frightened for a moment.
Then he pouts his lips, looking like a fish, and says:
– What a… Yeah… Youee?
The fish shakes its head from side to side.
– Won't say, huh? – Horacio says impatiently.
– Are you boyiiioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo? - he asks.
The fish moves its head again.
“I don't think I'll have any answers,” laughs Horacio.
– But it's really cool to have talked to a huge goldfish!
