Why Hippo-po-ta-mus Sleep in the Water
Long, long ago, all the animals were living together in one
place. Every year Hippopotamus
organize a feast for all the animals. During one of the feasts Hippopotamus ask
all the animals his name. But none of the animals was able to tell Hippopotamus
his real name. So nobody knows
Hippopotamuses name except his six wives.
So Hippopotamus told all animals to leave without eating their
food. They were very sad. But when they were about to leave, the ant
asked Hippopotamus what he would do to them if he mention his name. Hippopotamus promise to leave the land and go
live in the sea with his six wives. So
when all the animals leave, the ant climb on Hippopotamus’s wife and bite her
on her ear. The moment the ant bit her she shouted “Hippo-po-ta-mus, I am bit!” So
the ant was very happy and run quietly to his house.
At the next feast, Hippopotamus ask the same question, and
ant shout “Hippo-po-ta-mus!” with joy. So
Hippopotamus went together with all of his six wives to live in the bottom of
the sea.
