Lucy woke up. Her sister Thabi wasn’t in her bed.
“Where’s Thabi?” Lucy asked Ma.
“Thabi’s in the kitchen eating breakfast.”
“That’s not Thabi, that’s a hippopotamus!”
Lucy looked all over the house.
“Where’s Thabi?” Lucy asked Pa.
“She is in the swimming pool.”
“That’s not Thabi, that’s a hippopotamus.”
Lucy kept looking around the garden.
“Where’s Thabi?” Lucy asked the neighbour.
“Thabi’s playing in the park.”
“That’s not Thabi, that’s a hippopotamus.”
Then Lucy heard a funny noise, she gave the hippopotamus a big tickle.
There’s Thabi!
“Thanks!” said Thabi, “It’s very boring inside a hippopotamus.”
