Small Hippopotamus (For Children)
The small hippopotamus
Has taken his grandmother's glasses,
Has taken his father's hat and scarf,
And a portfolio his uncle's briefcase.
He put all of the clothing on himself,
Picked up the briefcase,
has looked in a mirror,
Has scratched his own snub-nosed nose
and said, "Well, now I am grown up!"
("Well, now I am an adult!)
