NAME:

Gisela the gazelle

Gisela, the gazelle, is the most vain in the savanna. Seeing her pass by, the hippos always call her “gazelle, gazelle!” but Gisela doesn't respond. She finds them fat and ugly.
As time goes by, the hippos that live peacefully at the water's edge make fun of the vain and pretentious gazelle. One day, after running in the savannah to get the attention of the other animals, Gisela becomes thirsty. She approaches the lake, but a malicious hippopotamus sees her.

Quickly, she hides behind her and mimics the lioness's roar. Gisela, frightened, throws herself into the muddy water. All the curious come to mock her, because her damp coat is dirty!
– Gazelle, gazelle, it's not beautiful! – the animals say to the vain Gisela.
