1st draft para 3 hippo's

1st draft
Once upon a time in the city of San Francisco lived the 3 modern hippo brothers. They lived near the shining Golden Gate Bridge and always busy in some sort of way. The big brother was Michael. He took care of his 2 brothers and the one who worked and did a lot of chores while is brothers helped him. Roger the 2nd oldest brother was the cleverest. He always came up with idea. The smallest little kid was the cute and charming Patrick who couldn’t help in anyway because of his age, but when he got angry holy smokes the train would go fast. He was very scared because there was a dragon called Rafa. These guys lived their life like normal hippo’s but in between 1000’s and 1000’s of other animals.
On an early Thursday morning the 3 hippos mother, Rachel wanted the three hippo brothers to do some errands across the bridge. So, they started their journey to get to the other side of the bridge. Patrick was so excited that he asked his brothers “Can we race, can we race, to the golden gate bridge?” with his little wee voice. But before his brothers could answer, he ran off with excitement. Because he was the smallest, he was the fastest. When Patrick got there he waited for his brothers. All of a sudden he heard some sort of groaning. Then when he turned around the water was in the air and there was a red dragon called Rafa.
Rafa roared, “I want to eat you!” Rafa frightened Patrick so much that Patrick was so scared that he ran off the bridge and swam the rest of the way. Rafa got furious, but he knew that hippo had brothers that were on their way. Rafa laughed an evil laugh.
Since Roger was smaller than Michael he reached the bridge 2nd. Roger didn’t see Patrick waiting for him, but then he saw his footprints going towards the edge of the bridge. Then after some while he heard the groaning of the dragon. Roger knew from his studies that the groaning of a dragon was different from any other animal. All of a sudden Rafa the dragon came and again he said “ I want to eat you!” Roger wasn’t that afraid because he was very clever and was studying dragons.
