NAME:

Where did it end up?

It's so hot! The hippopotamus Horace suffers from this.
– Mom, can I fill the pool? he asks, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
– Of course, Horacio. I'll read in the sun while you play in the pool,” Mom replies. – Maybe I'll even go into the pool with you! - She laughs.
Horacio drags the hose from the garden and places the nozzle inside the plastic pool. He then goes back to the faucet and turns on the water.

- Ahhh! I feel more refreshed just filling the pool - he thinks.
Before long, the pool is full. Horacio sets foot on it.
– Hey, it's cold! – he exclaims.
– That's because the sun hasn't warmed it yet. And because you're so hot you feel colder than you really are,” Mom laughs.
– Oh, well, there you go! – Horacio shouts and enters at once, turning in the water.
– How tasty! – he exclaims.
Horacio then has an idea.
– Check this out, Mom! – he yells at her.
He goes out, walks far into the yard, then runs back and jumps into the pool. Huge mounds of water splash everywhere.
– Yup! - he screams.
Seconds later, confused, he asks:
– Hey, where's all the water?
– You splashed all the water out when you jumped there! – she explains, laughing – You silly! - Mom laughs.
And Horacio laughs his hippopotamus laugh:
– HUUU, HO-HO-HO-HO! HUUU, HO-HO-HO-HO!
