Presently, she saw a shallow fountain in the middle of a square with just little red fish swimming round and round its edges.

“No people in the water?” wondered Veronica. “It must be that people do not drink water or take baths.”

But Veronica waded into the fountain happily. She drank, she splashed noisily, and she rolled on her back in the lovely cool water.

Out flew the fishes onto the sidewalk. Out splashed the water all over the people on the sidewalk. Soon the fountain was empty.

Veronica did not notice that people were angry with her now. She smiled with joy at the sight of a vegetable vendor who was walking by, pushing a cart full of fresh, delicious cabbages, salads, beans, peas, potatoes, and many other things.

Unused to city manners, like all riverbank hippopotamuses, Veronica helped herself happily to the green food. In one gulp, she emptied the cart clean.
