One day, Weiss Schnee woke up feeling different. She was heavier, slower, and her skin was gray and tough. Looking at her reflection in a pond, she realized she had turned into a hippopotamus!

Weiss was initially scared and confused. But when she saw her reflection, she felt a strange sense of calmness. She explored her surroundings, feeling the weight of her new body.

As she was wandering, some humans found her. They were surprised to see a hippo in their town. They decided to take her to a nearby zoo, where she would be safe and cared for.

The zookeepers were amazed at Weiss's calm demeanor. She didn't resist when they transported her to the zoo. She simply observed her new surroundings with a quiet curiosity.

At the zoo, Weiss was put in a large enclosure with a beautiful pond. It was a peaceful place, and she began to feel at home. She loved the cool water against her thick skin.

The zookeepers would come every day to feed her. They brought her watermelons, which she loved. The sweet juice was a delight, and she enjoyed the power of her jaws crushing the fruit.

Weiss began to enjoy her new life. She liked the attention she received from the zookeepers and the visitors. She became a popular attraction at the zoo.

She would often put on a show for the visitors, opening her powerful jaws wide and splashing in the pond. The children loved her and would laugh and clap in delight.

One day, a little girl dropped her stuffed animal into Weiss's enclosure. Without a second thought, Weiss gently picked it up with her jaws and gave it back to the girl.

The zookeepers were amazed at Weiss's intelligence and gentleness. They realized that she was not just an ordinary hippo, but a special one, with a kind heart and a wise soul.

Weiss's fame spread far and wide. Visitors came from all over to see the gentle giant hippo. She was loved by all for her calm nature and entertaining antics.

As the years passed, Weiss only grew more content. She loved the zookeepers, the visitors, and even her own reflection in the pond. She was proud of her powerful jaws and her size.

Weiss's story was a reminder to all that sometimes, change can be a good thing. It may be scary at first, but with time, we can adapt and find happiness in the most unexpected places.

One day, Weiss looked at her reflection in the pond, just as she had done when she first turned into a hippo. She didn't see a strange creature anymore, but a happy hippo smiling back at her.

She knew she was where she was meant to be. She was Weiss Schnee, the hippo, and she was loved. And with a content sigh, she went back to her watermelon, living her life happily in the zoo.
