Personal Narrative: Hippopotamus For Christmas

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas

Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted a hippo. I asked my mom every Christmas if she could get one. She always said “ If I had a million dollars, and if it was legal.” Then I would just sigh and move on. But for Christmas she would get me hippo stuff, like hippo clothes, blankets, everything. That is how much I love hippos. Everyone at my school would always say I’m crazy because I loved them so much. Since we were in the sixth grade they thought it was childish, but I thought it was just something that you loved and have good pride in it. It was fun when we had to do a report and something or write a story about something, I would always choose hippos and come up with a different story
Poaching!?” Angie replied “ Yes people are shooting them for their tusk and a bunch of other stuff. And just for the prize of a big hippo.” I was so devastated that this was actually happening. It was closing time for the zoo, but I got to stay after a little bit. I was talking to them. About what was happening and that I just needed someone to talk to. I knew they were listening because they are my best friends. All we needed was some girl hippos, but it was hard to find any because of what is happening. My mom called me and said it’s time to go. I kissed them all goodbye and Blugrea of course didn’t want me to go like always but he managed. Gray always snuggle at me back and being the little one. Blue was too busy eating but he always came away said gave me a goodbye. When I got home I was so tired. So I washed up and went to sleep right
So I did some research on them and I found out that there is only 850 hippos in the world. I was so sad that this was actually happening. We just might lose one of the most majestic creatures in the world. I decided to make a website called go fund the hippos. I called Angie and asked her “Can we set up a fundraiser for the hippos at the zoo, to help them and maybe get some more so we can reproduce?” She said “ That is a great idea! How about we get together and have lunch and talk about it?” I replied “ Yea that would be great!” I had my mom ra jn me to steak’n shake because that was our favorite restaurant. I saw Angie and we sat down and started talking about it. She said “That we can publish on our website that we are having a hippo week called save the hippos, and we can talk about them and state some facts about them and have like some showing each day and you can help.” I was so excited for it, I couldn’t wait! When I got home my mom said “What is this thing your teacher told me about? Some kind of writing assignment?” I started to panic I have been to busy with whats going on I totally forgot about my paper and it is due tomorrow. I grabbed my computer and started typing fast. I already had a page I just needed about three more to
