Hippo-Cam-Pus
is a sea horse.
A
sea horse is a fish even if he
does
not look like a fish at all.
Hippo-Cam-Pus
does not swim like all other fish.
He
does not swim horizontally.
He
swims standing right up.
Using
the fin on his back.
It
looks kind of funny.
With
his tale he can grip things.
Hippo-Cam-Pus'
wife is called Hippo-Cam-Pusia.
You
know her on her yellow butterfly and her blue skirt.
The
most amazing about sea horses is,
except
from their way of swimming and their looks,
that
it is not Hippo-Cam-Pusia
that
carries the babies.
Hippo-Cam-Pusia
places her eggs in a sack
in
Hippo-Cam-Pus' stomach.
Jumping-Star-Fish is sure a star.
In
jumping.
He
is the North Pacific Ocean Champion in
star
fish long jump.
The
Bubbling-Hat-Fish
is
a distinguished fish.
He
takes care of things on the bottom of the sea.
He
is kind of public officer.
He
is talking nearly all the time.
He
can't avoid bubbling when he talks.
Here you see The Tug Theophile
pulling a huge red tanker
from Texaco.
The Tug Theophile
pulls.
And pulls.
And pulls.
And pulls.
And pulls.
And pulls.
And pulls.

And pulls.
And pulls.
And pulls.

Theophile suddenly looks
sad.
Very, very sad.
He is so tired.
Tired.
Tired.
Tired.
Hippo-Cam-Pus and his 5
brothers see
that Theophile is in trouble.
The Tug Theophile smiles
again
as his friends help pulling
the
huge red tanker from Texaco.
And underneath at
the button of the sea.
Hippo-Com-Pusia and her
sisters,
Bubbling-Hat-Fish,
Octo-Pus,
Crab-Mac-Claw and
Star-Fish
are amused
just hearing Bubbling-Hat-Fish
announce,
that Hippo-Cam-Pus and
his 5 brothers helped The Tug Theophile
pulling the huge red tanker
from Texaco.
