Once upon a time, a hippo (河马) lived in a river next to a big tree.
One day, a
bird came and nested (筑巢) in the tree.
The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羡慕) that he couldn't think of anything else. Every day he would think
why he wasn't born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was
so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.
Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he
would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when
he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn't have wings,
nor claws to climb with.
Realizing that he would never climb up the
tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came down to the ground. Then he stepped
onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.
Unfortunately, hippo can't sing, either.
All that came from his mouth were terrible noise, and when the other animals
heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.
He was so ashamed (羞愧的) by this. He also felt bad about having
knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise the tree back up
again, and look after it until it completely recovered. (康复)
