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. Roger stated “Don’t eat me, my older brother is bigger.” Rafa shouted “Don’t try that on me. I’m the most intelligent being on earth!” Roger had forgotten about that. Then he became very frightened. He ran off the bridge, just like Patrick had, but Rafa was too slow to catch him because he was so surprised.
Michael was so tired when he got to the bridge. He wondered where his brothers were. He also saw the tracks that went off the bridge. Then Michael heard the same groaning, except it was louder. It actually sounded angry. Then Michael saw Rafa. Michael was so scared that he ran towards the edge of the bridge. But this time, Rafa was ready for it. He blocked Michael’s way and Michael was so afraid of being eaten, he jumped. Then all Michael heard was booming in his ears. For what just happened was the breaking of the bridge. The bridge had collapsed. Rafa was weak and injured. Michael had gotten away by swimming.
Rachel, the three brothers’ mother had heard the noise and went to immediately check. When she saw the broken bridge, she was afraid that her sons wee hurt. She then saw the dragon was floating in the water and she screamed. Then Rafa heard the huge scream. Rafa then weakly said, “come down here and help me.” The mother did not even dare to help. Then she saw a large rock that was very near and was about to fall. She said, “come a little closer.” Rafa was so desperate for food that he listened to her. Then the next thing that happened was splash, and that was the last of Rafa. Rachel shouted her loudest to get the three brothers back to home. She wanted them to be back because she knew they had a hard day, especially with that dragon.
On the other side of the bridge, Patrick was so tired from swimming that he didn’t notice Roger or Michael come. Roger had the same feeling and so did Michael. They all heard their mother’s calling and knew it was her. They then came back to the real world. They went straight to their mother and then went home. They lived happily ever after.
