Hilda's Travels

I Hilda Hippo have never been on an adventure so amazing during my time on the ocean.

But this one adventure I had was truly the most unexpected.

It all began when during a nasty storm me and my red billed oxpecker Johnny where on a ship trying to get it under control.

But the waves knocked us off the ship and the next thing you knew we were in the water trying to somehow make it alive.

Once we were able to make it to land we then layed down and passed out.

Now what we didn't know was that we were about to make a difference to a kingdom.

While we were passed out a tiny man was holding a lantern doing his job but he would rather be home and in bed.

While he was walking he then bumped into my front leg and when he saw what it was he didn't know what it really was but he thought it was a monster.

So he then went back to his kingdom in a rush and he was then trying to tell the king that there was a monster on the beach.

But he was too distracted by talking with the other king about their son and daughter getting married and the other king wasn't sure it would happen.

So they both had a disagreement on how the wedding should be.

Now in his defense he did try but he was unsuccessful with his attempt.

But somehow he was able to get a mob all together and so off they went to go see if they're able to get us to their town.

Now when they did see us for the first time they were at a loss of words of how huge I was.

So they then started to get ready to get us on a wooden bridge with wheels.

Oh and I also should've told you this earlier but i'm really heavy so it would be quite interesting on how they're able to do it.

But they were able to carry me to the wooden bridge thanks to 20 strongmen they had.

So once they were able to do that, they then took us still asleep to their town and the residents couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Now I say that because they've never seen anything like us before.

So he then went to the king and when he was able to see us for the first time he was so surprised he actually ran back to his castle in a flash.

Just then he ordered the men to search us because they wanted to know what we brought.

Now it was quite fascinating for them because they've never seen anything like what we had.

But then all of a sudden somebody accidently setted off some dynamite and the bell tower fell but thankfully no one was hurt because they cleared just in time.

We then opened our eyes for the first time since last night and the next thing we knew the residents hided because they didn't know what else to do.

We then yawned and then pulled to get out of the rope and we were able to get out of the rope.

Just then the little man tried to get into the castle but the king went in first so we heard him knocking on the door wanting to come in.

We then saw him for the first time and we knew he was just trying to avoid us.

Johnny then grabbed him and it was clear that he was afraid of us but really there really wasn't scary about us at all.

"Well Well Well what do we have here?" I then asked

He was still begging not to be eaten while in reality we weren't going to eat him.

"Hold on there friend no one's going to harm you." Johnny then said

Just then the king came out and told him to stop it.

I then asked him who he was and he replied "Who me? Why i'm king around here."

Just then they were under attack by the other king on his ships.

Now when I standed up the crews on those ships fleed and the king then ordered the ships to run away for now.

We then looked around to see where everyone was and they were hiding.

Just then the king and the little man knew they won but when Johnny came near them the little man ran for it and when he showed the king the rope he then ran back to the castle.

Now he was well nervous at first but once he was able to trust us he then knew we weren't so bad after all.

We were then accepted by the residents because they then knew we weren't so bad after all too.

Of course the other king wanted us gone so he sent his minions to go spy on us.

But they then started a fire that we were able to put out.

Oh and also we were able to talk to the prince and princess about what's been going on and we then knew before we go home we must settle their feud before it's too late.

Now it just so happened that the minions had the rest of the dynamite left and was aimed at us.

But I was too distracted by carrying the ships and just then the prince was able to stop the dynamite but he fell off the cliff.

So when we able to take care of the ships we then went to see if the prince was okay.

Of course the other king actually felt bad because his hatred of the other kingdom almost got his son killed.

So the two kings decided to put their differences aside and so the two kingdoms were back in peace at last.

Just then they were able to build us a boat and so off we went home.

And honestly it was truly one of the most unforgettable adventures we ever went on.

And no we won't regret it for a long time.
