Sunny Day With Happy Hippo

A round, wide-eyed hippo pops his head above the rippling water, cheeks dotted with playful freckles. He wears a big friendly grin, with both ears perked up and tufts of hair standing on his head. Tall spiky grass sways on each side, and squiggly lines in the pond show how he just splashed up from below.

Behind him, soft hills roll under fluffy clouds floating in the sky. The whole scene looks bright and full of surprises, as if this hippo boy spent the whole morning playing hide-and-seek with the fish. Water circles spread around his nose, waiting for a splash of color from little hands.
