There has to be a song in this. A baby hippo lost his mom in the wave and found a giant totroise to adopt him.

I bet the tortoise is just desperate to run away but can only manage a steady 3 miles a week.... even hippoplopomusses go faster than that!

And it's going to be a bugger when it comes to learning to swim!

Start with the obvious chorus, and work from there!

The song of Owen, the hippopotamus (Also known as 'Augustine'!) *BG*

Mud, mud, look at that mud
Ain't seen nothing like it since Noah had his flood
You may think I'm barmy,
I surfed that tsunami
Now call out the army
To clear up this mud!

Nigel (I have this very Pratchettian image of a single hippo surfing on the back of a tortoise!)
