NAME:

popote the vain

For peace of mind, the hippos go out at night to go out to dinner in the savannah.
When night falls, Hippolytus doesn't know how to wake up Popote.
– Popote, it's time! She get up or she won't have anything to eat.
Popote yawns a lot and, before closing her mouth again, she makes a sound that sounds like an “uoh”. But it still doesn't move!
- How to make? – says Hippolytus, discouraged – Popote is as lazy as she is vain!

So, Hippolytus decides to try another way.
– Did you know I saw Hippopaulo just now?
Popote looks up!
– He told me about you! You think she lost too much weight! He thinks he's sick.
Popote gets up quickly, because among hippos, to look pretty you have to be very round, and Popote has to eat a lot to regain her rounded curves and please Hippopaulo…
