Stranded in the Sea
A baby hippo was stranded in the sea! People ran to the beach. “Find a rope!” cried a man. “Use my net!” screamed a child. They tried to help. It was not easy. The wild hippo tore the nets. He got free from the rope. People feared he could not be saved. Then a man came in a boat. “Do not be afraid,” said the man to the hippo. “I am here. You are safe.” The brave man held the hippo. Someone put a net on him. On the beach, people cheered. Happy cries were heard a mile away!
