Greedy Hippo. This story is created by Cambridge English Online.

2
00:00:07,780 --> 00:00:16,780
There was a hungry hippo. He ate everything inside. From cheese to peas, chips and cake.

3
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:29,219
He always had a bite. Now, hippo was selfish. He ate everybody's food. He ate the cats,

4
00:00:29,219 --> 00:00:40,979
the dogs, and the cows' food. He was very, very rude. One morning, after breakfast, he jumped

5
00:00:40,979 --> 00:00:50,920
into the lake. One big splash and he was stuck. That was a big mistake. The hippo sank deeper.

6
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:59,200
Then he began to scream, help, please help, I'm sinking. Won't someone pull me out?

7
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:07,400
The animals all pulled and pulled, as hard as they were able.

8
00:01:08,500 --> 00:01:13,819
Out Hippo ran past them and he ate everything on their table.

9
00:01:16,569 --> 00:01:20,569
The animals were angry and thought they'd play a trick.

10
00:01:21,430 --> 00:01:25,689
They made a pie from fish and soup to make Hippo sick.

11
00:01:26,269 --> 00:01:29,709
Here you are. We've made a pie for you.

12
00:01:29,709 --> 00:01:40,650
Thanks, he said. I'll eat it now. First a nibble, then a bite, then a great big swallow.

13
00:01:43,609 --> 00:01:53,709
Hippo went back into the lake. But something wasn't right, thought Hippo. I feel quite old inside.

14
00:01:53,709 --> 00:02:02,620
Now, he had a stomachache, and the cooks looked happy.

15
00:02:02,620 --> 00:02:05,439
Hippo learned his lesson.

16
00:02:05,439 --> 00:02:09,060
It was the end of all their troubles.

17
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:14,599
He was last seen leaving the town blowing fizzy bubbles.
