Grandpa Hippo : The Guests Who Jumped Over the Fence
Mr. Hippo is a hospitable old grandpa. No matter who comes to visit, he always welcomes them warmly. He offers guests sweet orange juice, delicious fruit to the children, and he chats with his guests. But what happened today?
When the little rabbit and the little badger came to Mr. Hippo, it seemed as if he didn’t see them at all.
The little rabbit said, “Hello, Grandpa Hippo!” Mr. Hippo didn’t respond.
The little badger said, “Grandpa Hippo, are you happy?” Mr. Hippo seemed not to hear.
A blue-tailed bird in the tree said, “Grandpa Hippo, didn’t you see the two little guests?”
“No,” said Grandpa Hippo, “I’ve been watching out the window, and no guests have come through the fence gate!”
At this moment, the little rabbit and the little badger blushed. Earlier, they had been competing to see who could jump higher and had jumped over the fence.
The two little guests walked out sheepishly and then came back in through the fence gate.
This time, Mr. Hippo welcomed them warmly. He invited the two little guests to sit at the table and served them sweet orange juice.
While Grandpa Hippo turned to get some fruit, the little rabbit and the little badger whispered to each other, “Guests who jump over the fence are not welcome!”
● After reading the story of Grandpa Hippo, we learned that “Guests who jump over the fence are not welcome!” We should not do that.
