The Hippo and I

　　A hippo lives in the zoo. I like him very much. I often go to see him. He often thinks of me, too. Today is Sunday. It is fine day. I go to see him again. After I leave the zoo, he follows me to my house. I give him lettuce, cabbages, bananas, apples and other food. He eats them up. When I sing songs, he stays in the pool. He is as quite as a rabbit.

　　In the evening, he jumps onto my bed with me. My mum tells him to go home. He has to pack his bag and go back to the zoo. My mum lets me see him every week.

　　我與河馬

　　河馬住在動物園里，我很喜歡他。他經常去看它，他也經常想我。

　　今天是星期日，是個好天氣，我又一次去看望它。在我離開動物園之后，他跟隨到我的家。我給他萵苣、生菜、香蕉、蘋果和其他食物。他都吃了。

　　當我唱歌是，它待在水池里，像兔子一樣安靜。

　　晚上，他跳到床上同我睡覺在一起睡。

　　媽媽要它回家。它不得不背起包回到動物園。媽媽允許我每周去看它。

　　He told them how he used to come and visit his gold.
