Text from That’s Not Thabi! That’s a Hippopotamus

Lucy woke up. Her sister Thabi wasn’t in her bed.

“Where’s Thabi?” Lucy asked Ma.

“Thabi’s in the kitchen eating breakfast.”

“That’s not Thabi!”

“That’s a hippopotamus!”

Lucy looked all over the house.

“Where’s Thabi?” Lucy asked Pa.

“Thabi’s swimming in the pool.”

“That’s not Thabi!”

“That’s a hippopotamus!”

Lucy kept looking around the garden.

“Where’s Thabi?” Lucy asked the neighbour.

“Thabi’s playing in the park.”

“That’s not Thabi!

That’s a hippopotamus!”

Then Lucy heard a funny noise. She gave the hippopotamus a big tickle.

“There’s Thabi!”

“Thanks,” said Thabi. “It’s very boring inside a hippopotamus.”
