It washed the baby hippos family down to the Indian ocean.The baby hippo and his family where all washed up on shore and started to look for food. They went into gardens and even houses just for food. Of course everyone was verry scared since hippos are verry dangerous animals.

After that an other wave hit and took out all of the hippos exsept the baby hippo. He started to swim but got stuck in the seawead and could not get out. The people of the island new that he could not stay in the seawead forever, so they all decided to use a fish net, but the fish net did not work and the hippo broke throu it right away.So they used a shark net and it worked a lot better.
