Henry’s Dam Written By Hayden Jamer

Henry the hippo was a BIG hippo and didn’t have any

friends.

He ate all the food, which made everyone mad and

also took up all of the space in their enclosure.

All the other hippos in the zoo didn’t even let him

cool down in the dam with everyone else, because

he would take up all the room, so Henry would

have to wait until everyone was finished.

Every hippo in the enclosure would also tease him.

Henry felt really left out, so he had to play by

himself. Most of the time he just sat there doing

nothing.

Until one day he couldn’t take it anymore, he

wanted some friends, so he tried to leave some

food for the other hippos.

He even snuck in and cooled down in the dam with

them. The other hippos were shocked.

Suddenly the hippo’s realised something. The

water rose really high when Henry was in.

The water was so deep that everyone could swim

in it and play games. The other hippos were so

grateful of Henry that they all made friends

Henry was the happiest hippo in the world that day

and the hippos all apologised for being so mean

and teasing him.

Now that Henry had made some friends, he felt like

every other hippo.

He was a just little bit bigger.

HENRY’S DAM
