Bright Morning at the Watering Hole

Sunlight spills over the tall grass as a wide-eyed giraffe tilts her head and keeps watch. Three zebras drink quietly, dipping their noses into the cool, wavy water. Each one’s stripes make bold patterns and their ears stand up, listening for sounds around them. Up front, a happy hippopotamus peeks out of the pond, his round face beaming with a big, friendly grin.

Gentle ripples surround the hippo as he sits in his favorite spot, soaking up the morning breeze. The trees in the distance stretch their arms to the sky, and small patches of grass wave along the shore. Puffy clouds float across the open sky, while the animals gather together for a peaceful start to their day.

Fun Fact!
