Harry The Hippo Gets Hassled By Lachlan Gardiner Copyright (c) By Lachlan Gardiner E-mail: Peakabode@gmail.com It was a very hot day in the African Safari. Harry the Hippo was happily swimming in his favorite waterhole. Gerald the Giraffe was nearby eating leaves off the top of a very tall tree. "What a great day." Said Harry. "A marvelous day." Said Gerald. "I could stay here until sunset, what about you Gerald?" Said Harry. "Good idea Harry." Said Gerald. Harry and Gerald swam and played and had lots of fun. Along came Gary the Gorilla swinging through the trees, when he saw Harry and Gerald he stopped and gazed. A smirk appeared on his face and he began to laugh and point at Harry. "Hey Harry are you sure that waterhole is big enough for …show more content…
"That’s because Gary never learned how to be nice, he only knows how to treat others the way his brothers and sisters have treated him." Said Lockie. "What do you want me to do about it?" Said Harry. "Try showing him what it’s like to have a friend, ask him to join you and Gerald. I think you will bring out a much nicer side to Gary if you give him a chance." Said Lockie. "I’ll help you." Said Gerald. 5. "Well alright then, maybe it will work" Said Harry. The next day Harry and Gerald where playing together by the waterhole, when Gary came swinging through the trees. "So you finally got out of that log? I bet Ellie the elephant had to smash it, ha! you needed help from a giant girl." Said Gary, laughing to hysterically. "Actually Lockie pushed me out, and Ellie’s big because she is an elephant, they’re supposed to be big. We all have our differences and that’s what makes us great. Hey why don’t you play with us Gary." Said Harry. "I don’t wanna play with you two." Said Gary. "Yes you do, come on it’ll be fun." Said Gerald. "Don’t tell me what to do!" Said Gary and he turned and swung back into the jungle. Gary arrived home at his tree where his Brothers and Sisters where all swinging around having …show more content…
He climbed up a different tree and sat down all by himself. "It’s not fair." Said Gary sobbing into his arms. Gary took a deep breathe, and tried to calm down. He began to imagine Harry and Gerald playing at the waterhole. "Maybe they really did want me to join." Said Gary. He lifted his head and there was a big smile on his face, Gary realized he did have someone to play with. So he took off through the Jungle in the direction of the waterhole. When he arrived Harry and Gerald where playing and laughing. "Hey I decided I will play with you guys." Said Gary. Harry was shocked, he couldn’t believe it, Lockie was right after all. "That’s great Gary come on down." Said Harry. Gary joined in and they all played until sunset. Gary had such a good time, teasing Harry didn’t even occur to him. The next day Harry, Gerald and Gary all played together, and again the next day, and the next. They kept on playing together and the three of them all became best friends. It took a long time but eventually Gary turned to Harry one day and said; "Harry I’m so sorry I was mean to you, I wish I could take it all back." Harry could tell he was genuinely remorseful, so Harry said; "That’s OK, I forgive
Simon turned away from them and went where the just perceptible path led him. Soon the jungle closed in" (56). He loved solitude and yet felt loneliness; he was alien to the other boys. The boys did not think anyone would be stupid enough to go into the jungle by night: "The assembly grinned at the thought of going out into the darkness. Then Simon stood up and Ralph looked at him in astonishment" (85).
After continuing on and on about what could come from the friendship, Georg admits, “Ulrich von Gradwitz, I will be your friend,” (Saki.) After the two declared their friendship is when they began to shout for help and the wolves come and possibly end their short-lived
Lennie thinks of George as his only friend, his guardian, someone who he can trust and depend on, someone who had accepted him for who he is despite his childlike tendencies. Every time he did something wrong, his only thoughts would be of George’s disapproval. “I did a real bad thing. I shouldn’t have done that. George’ll be mad at me.
Throughout the next couple of months, Angela and Gary became close. Over time they both developed a common goal, to get Gary’s ability to speak back.
He loses a test-your-strength game by only getting up to wimpy, which he says he “can’t live with,” before attempting and failing at making a move on Cynthia. He is turned down from the ride that Cynthia is going to go on with an older boy (“he drives”) because he does not meet the height requirement, and storms off to encounter the dangling cause that sets the plot into action. With a minor explanation of the magic that will ensue by pointing out the unplugged cord, which will come back in the climax, the carnival game grants his wish to become big. Taking into account the circumstances in which he makes the wish, it also goes on to fulfill his desires to become more successful in play and romance.
Some of Finny and Gene's friends begin to join their new club. Finny makes up a game called "blitzball," sort of a variation on rugby and football; the game is a hit that summer.
“Carter, you will never be my friend,and you can never hurt my dog again,” Colten explained.
“Piggy!” Piggy grinned reluctantly, pleased despite himself at even this much recognition “So long as you don’t tell the others…” (Golding 11)
playing with the game, and Adam asked if he could stay and play also. Revé said okay
“Friends,” replied Alex. Ben replied, “It is good that we got our act together because if we didn’t then coach would kick us off the team.” They both laughed and started playing basketball together and having fun like regular
As the film develops, their friendship gets stronger. They worked side by side to overcome racial issues and to heal the conflict but every friendship starts somewhere. Gerry and Julius wouldn’t acknowledge each other, when they were told that they were going to be team mates they didn’t want to merge, I believe that they generally thought that they were playing on the same team as the enemy but they both knew that the team would not function if they were both enemies so Julius and Gerry needed to work out there differences. On the camp they spent days with one another yet neither of them made the effort to get along until Coach Boone made each and every player learn something about each other.
To get a different perspective on the star of the day I contacted Gary’s school friends. Unfortunately, none of them volunteered any information – except one, who said his nickname ‘PlayByYourselfGary’ should provide some indication of his popularity with the other pupils.
“You were muttering again and also you’re scaring the small children. That includes Armin.” She gestured to the petite blond beside her. As she said this, a couple of kids ran past his legs smiling and allowing their oversized balloons to hit him in the face. Yes, he was at the last place he wanted to be at the moment; an amusement park. Eren saw that Armin wasn’t dismayed at all, particularly because this whole thing was his and his boyfriend Erwin’s idea. Eren internally gagged at the name because he thought the guy was too large, too old, too shifty, too everything! In the back of his mind no one was good enough for his best friend. Armin must’ve caught on to the inner workings of his brain along their years of friendship because Armin nudged Eren and took his hand, leading him along. “Oh he isn’t that bad Eren, stop making that face. Besides he got us free tickets today. He feels bad I haven’t been able to see either of you much.” He explained.
“The boy’s first outcry was a rueful laugh (524). The life of the spill. Then the boy saw all (524). This was the saw still going, cutting deeper and deeper into the tree.
“Woah it’s fine, Maggie he’s my friend, Right” He remarked as his eyes bounced from me to the boy who got shoved. By the look on his face they were definitely not friends. “Chill out Maggie” he uttered. Right when he told me to chill out it made me so much less
