NAME:

the indecisive hippopotamus

Dandinho was a hippopotamus who was always indecisive. He didn't even decide what he wanted to eat. One hour, he would choose something, but then he would change his mind.
– I think I'll have a vegetable pie. Although a salad of leaves would be great. But I think I want to eat some fruit - said Dandinho.
- This indecision of yours will end up putting you in a big mess - said the elephant.


But Dandinho didn't even care and kept trying to decide what to do, where to go or what to eat. One day, the forest animals gathered to play and Dandinho soon arrived with his indecision.
– Let's play hopscotch. No! Let's play football. No! Let's play hide and seek - he says.
While Dandinho thought for hours about what he wanted to play, the other animals took advantage of the time and played with everything. At the end of the day, everyone had had a lot of fun, except Dandinho. From that day forward, he realized that he should be more decisive, as his indecision would only hurt him.
