A long long time ago most of the animals on earth looked very different from how they look now.

Some were thinner, some were taller and some had more legs than they have today.

The Rhinocerosand the Hippopotamuswere very vain and always boring the other animals, asking them to admire their good looks.

"Haven't I got the most handsome face you've ever seen?" the Rhinoceros would ask, as he turned his head from side to side. "Don't you think my left side is as handsome as my right?".

"Look at my slim body" the Hippopotamus would answer. "Isn't this the most beautiful body you've ever seen?"

"Huuh!" the Elephant would trumpeta mouse.

"Give me a break and sit still" cried the red dragon. "All you're fighting and shoving is making it very hard for me to fly".

The animals ignored him and finally the red dragon became so tired he couldn't flap his wings any more

and started to fall out of the sky.

The animals slid off his back and fell towards the ground screaming in panic. No one was killed but they all landed with a mightythud.

The snakes legs fell off and he slithered away in the grass.

The Rhinoceros landed on his face, making a large bump on his nose that turned into a horn.

The Hippopotamus kept rolling and bumping over the hillside, getting bigger and fatter until he finally splashed into a waterhole. He was so embarrassed at how round and fat he was, he wouldn't come out.

The elephant broke all his teeth except for two that stuck into the ground. When he tried to pull them out of the ground they stretched into the two long tuskshe has today.

The giraffe caught his head in a high tree and his neck stretched and stretched until his body reached the ground.

In fact all the animals changed into how they look today.

The lion and tiger roared with laughter at how funny the other animals looked now.

"I don't see what's so funny" snapped the crocodile, whose face had been flattenedby a gorillalanding on it.

The Rhinoceros was very angry about losing his good looks. That's why you have to be very careful near them, even today.
