Cow And Hippo

Cow and Hippo were best friends. They had been friends forever. They were
born on the same day so they were the same age. Cow and Hippo had been
friends their entire lives. If Hippo wanted to go swimming then Cow went
too. If cow wanted to stand around mooing then Hippo did too. Swimming and
mooing, mooing and swimming, and they were both as happy as could be.

Then one day Hippo and his family had to move far away. Cow and Hippo were
both very sad. They didn't think that they would ever see each other again
or be able to play together. Cow and Hippo said good-by to each other. Then
Hippo and his family packed up and left.

It was a long summer without Hippo, Cow thought.
It was a long summer without Cow, Hippo thought.

One day Cow's parents told him that they were going to have to move also.
Cow was sad because he thought that if Hippo ever came back Cow wouldn't be
there. Cow was scared to leave. Finally the day came for Cow's family to
move. They packed up and started walking. They walked for a long time. Day
and night they walked. When they finally got to their new home Cow looked
around to see if he could find anyone to be friends with. He knew that
no-one could replace Hippo. He still wanted a friend though. He looked and
looked and that's when he saw Hippo. Cow had moved to the same place Hippo
had moved to. From that day on Cow and Hippo were together all the time.
They were both happy again.
