SOMETHING NICE.

Again, I'm late on a story. Last night I was out for drinks and I overheard people talking about something that made my heart smile. Apparently, during the tsunami two years ago a family of hippopotamuses was washed out to sea. Only one hippo survived, a one year old baby hippo. When he was rescued and released into a wildlife park, he dashed to the side of a 130-year old tortoise. Now the hippo thinks the tortoise is it's mom and the tortoise doesn't seem to mind being thought of as such.
