NAME:

big the hippopotamus

Big was a very proud hippopotamus. Many didn't like him because he wasn't friendly. One day a scribble appeared on the school wall. Everyone looked and didn't know who had done it. The school teacher started a campaign:
– Who had written that such nonsense?
The teacher suspected that it had been Big One, but he always answered:
- I do not! I do not!

So, in the classroom, they left Big Man alone. He picked up a chalk and wrote on the wall: "I'm big already!" The teacher caught Big One in the act and wrote a letter to his parents the next day. Big's parents didn't like what they read at all.
“Don't you ever do such a thing again,” they said.
So, Bigo was given a nice paternal punishment. “I mustn't write on the wall,” he wrote in his notebook.
With his head bowed, Bigo went back to school and said he wouldn't write on the wall anymore, because he knew that it hindered cleanliness and that understanding alone leads to greatness.
