there was a greedy hippo. He ate everything insight. from cheese to peas chips and cake, he always ate a bite.
now hippo he was selfish. he ate everybodys food
he ate the cats the dogs the cows. he was very very rude
One morning after breakfast he jumped into a lake
one big splash and he was stuck
that was a big mistake. mister hippo was angry
the hippo sank real deep he began to shout
"help.please im sinking. Wont anyone help me?"
the animals pulled and pulled as had as they could and he popped out he then ran past all of them and then ate everything on their table. "suckers " he shouted in their faces
then the animals thought to themselves no your the sucker. we made that pie out of mud and soap so you get sick
then hippo felt on inside
^strange
those cotton headed scootin tootins poisoned my food he thought
he then got so mad that we went up to each of the animals looked them in the eye and swallowed each of them whole.
that was the end of hippos problems.
the end
Reading Response Questions and Answers.
yeah think about that for a while. deep meanings hidden in there
do you need the after reading reveiw questions? well here they are!
1. in what ways was hippo similar to Hitler? what were their differneces.
1 answer) hippo and hitler had blue eyes and were a tad chubby around the middle. not to mention their eating habits
2. what made hippo jump in the lake? (ex. depression, severe anger, he just wanted to swim, he slipped ect.) explain your answer
2) he wasnt depressed otherwise he wouldnt have gotten help from his friends. obviously he just wanted a swim but didnt realize he was raised by wolves and never learned to swim like all the other hippos
3. on page four hippo eats several of his peers. have you ever considered eating your peers? how do you think this would feel/taste. explain in detail
3) i can honestly say i have never considered eating any of my peers. have however considered eating my sister. she ate my cocoa puffs. big mistake. i imagine she would taste gross the same way she looks!
4. hippo never had a real name. does this effect the book? is this why hippo was sad did he feel he didnt have a true identity
4) i dont think hippo was too bothered by the fact he had no real name. especially when u consider that none of the other animals he ate had real names. or perhaps we never learn the names of the animals including hippo to protect his identity.
5. If you were hippo how would you have resolved his problem. would you have done things the same or differently?
5) i would have done the exact same thing
6. If you were one of the animals that got ate. how would you have gone about getting back at hippo.
6) i would have previously eaten some type of poison so that when he ate me it would be inside him too and he would inevitably gotten sick and probably died jsut like the rest of us. or i would have called up my uncle lion and had him attack him
7.. If the moon was made of ribs would ye eat it?
7) i would and then id wash it down with a nice tall glass of bud weiser
8. How has this story changed your outlook on life? has your outlook on nameless hippos changed or remained the same?
8) completely changed my outlook on life. i will never again judge a hippo for being nameless.
next year ill come out with a squeekuel!!!
