He always wanted to reach
inside a big hippo’s mouth
and give it a little tickle –
so he traveled 2 hours south
to visit the hippo’s enclosure,
an area inside the zoo.
When the hippo opened wide
he knew exactly what to do.
The hippo was close, he could
reach out to touch –
but after he tickled he
was in trouble, so much!
