In a cozy corner of the river, Hidie Hippo woke with a big grin.

Today was special. Balloons hung around her mud bed, colorful and bright.

She twirled in her pink tutu, making ripples in the water.

A treasure hunt! Her pals had left clues on the lily pads.

Hidie splashed towards the first clue, her footsteps eager and quick.

The clue led her to the weeping willow, where birds chirped a melody.

Beneath the tree, a basket of juicy fruits awaited Hidie.

Next, a puzzle of sticks pointed her to the sunny slope.

Giggles rang out as she neared; friends jumped from hiding spots!

They shared stories and played games, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

Then, Hidie was gifted a handmade crown, a symbol of their bond.

As the sun set, they watched the stars, hearts full of joy.
