Henry is a big, gray hippo. He lives at the city zoo.
He has a very large pool. The water is cool and blue.
Every morning, Henry wakes up. He wiggles his small ears.
He opens his mouth wide. It looks like a giant cave!
Henry loves to swim in the water. He goes up and down.
He likes to blow bubbles with his nose. Splash, splash, splash!
Children come to see Henry. They wave their hands at him.
Henry looks at the happy children. He wiggles his tail to say hello.
A zookeeper brings some lunch. Henry eats green grass and sweet fruit.
He chews and chews on the yummy food. It is very tasty.
He eats a big red apple. Crunch, crunch, crunch!
The sun is bright and warm. Henry feels a little bit sleepy now.
He walks to the edge of the pool. He finds a soft spot in the mud.
Henry closes his big eyes. He takes a long nap in the sun.
The zoo is a good place to live. Henry is a happy hippo today.
The birds sing songs in the trees. The zoo is quiet and calm.
Henry dreams of more tasty snacks. He is a very lucky hippo.
He will play in the water again soon. Tomorrow will be another fun day.
