1259 - HIPPO

She felt sure that when she came to this part of the safari it would be quite noisy. But in fact it was generally serene with only the occasional snort to disturb the peace. Widow Mabel had inherited several thousand millions when her husband died and was enjoying spending it on herself. On this trip she was hiring guides to take her (and no one else) to see different African wild animals in their natural habitat. Today it was the turn of the hippo herd to be the object of her gaze. They were in the muddy water and only at dusk did they head off to graze until dawn.
