New Friend In The Pond

When the hippo came to the river to cool its body he saw a stranger in the river. "Hey, who are you?" asked the curious hippo.

"I'm a crocodile. I also live in rivers and pond. I came here exploring the forest. Can I stay here?" asked the crocodile. When the hippo came to the river to cool down, he noticed a stranger in the water.

"Hey, who are you?" asked the curious hippo.

"I'm a crocodile. I live in rivers and ponds too," replied the stranger. "I was exploring the forest—may I stay here?"

"Why not? Consider this pond your home," said the friendly hippo with a warm smile.

"Thank you so much for welcoming me," said the crocodile gratefully. "I was feeling lonely after my group ousted me from my old pond, so finding such a welcoming neighbor here is a true blessing."

The hippo smiled, then gently submerged into the water. "Why not, consider this pond as your home only," said the friendly hippo smiling.

"Thank you very much for letting me to stay here. I'm a lonely crocodile, my friends outsted from my pond, and here you are a total strager welcoming me," I am thankful to God to get me such a friendly neighbor," said the crocoidle.

The hippo smiled, and submerged in the water.
