What Can a Hippopotamus Be?

What can a hippo be? Fireman? Sailor? Courier? Painter? ... 

Hippo has tried many careers. Although he failed many times, he is always full of confidence. The road to growth seems to become clearer after failing over and over again. Hippo not only knows how to try but also knows how to relax. After countless attempts, he gives himself a vacation and lies down comfortably. Will he think about his past failures or what he is really good at and likes to do?

Someday in the future, I will fly into the sky. The rain is falling. I like -

Jumping in the water puddles. Pit-a-pat!


Someday in the future, I will whisper to the cloud. The day is sunny. I like -

Playing football on the grass. Bong!


Someday in the future, I will run all over the field, cheering and sweating.

It’s raining; I like to build tall block buildings and castles.


Someday in the future, I will build parks all over the world.
