Once upon a time, there lived a hippopotamus. Hippopotamus was usually hungry. One evening, Hippo hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he decided to go across the street to Applebee's. Once he sat down, the waiter gave him the menu.
"I want a pile of potatoes the size of a mountain, a bathtub full of soup, and enough brussel sprouts to feed 50 very hungry people."
"Are you sure?" asked the waiter.
"I order, you serve."
So the waiter went into the kitchen and got a pile of potatoes the size of a mountain, a bathtub full of soup, and enough brussel sprouts to feed 50 very hungry people.
"Here's your order," the waiter said. "Enjoy."
So, the hippopotamus started eating right away. First, he ate the potatoes. Next, the brussel sprouts. And then he washed it down with the soup. By the time he was done, everybody had left, the lights were off, the chairs were on the tables, and he was all alone. He tried to get out of his chair, but he had eaten so much, he was stuck.
"Help!" cried the hippo, but nobody answered. He tried again. "Help!" But nobody seemed to hear him. So, Hippo was left all alone in one small chair, with nothing and nobody, until the next day.
