A blushful hippo and his friend

Meet Henri, a hippo who blushes very easily. Not only when something makes him burp quietly but also when he counts 1...2...4...3. Once, when Henri was hiding behind some books on the bookshelf because he didn't want anybody to see he was turning all red again, he found this old book, all covered in dust.


It's about a hippo named Roosevelt who also has a tendency to blush. Luckily Roosevelt also has a little friend, a bird called Lombard, who reassures him that Roosevelt is not a blushful hippo; he is hopeful, mindful, thoughtful, and wonderful. And with each new word Roosevelt grows bigger and prouder...

Of course when little Henri had finished reading this book, he also wanted a friend like Lombard. So he went to the duckpond and met Dunley, a nice little yellow duckling. Dunley was tired of being small and was very happy to hear that Henri was looking for a friend. He made him self comfortable at Henri's head while whispering some kind words....



Because there must be more souls in this world who would like to have or give a bird like Lobard and Dunley ( with room in his tiny pouch for a nice note with kind words ), a tutorial for making one will be posted here tomorrow.
