No, I said tug-of-war.

Mr. Hippo is a big fat man. He doesn't like sports. He grows fatter and fatter. His friend, Mr. Donkey, is a thin man. He doesn't like sports either. He grows thinner and thinner.

One day, Mr. Hippo visited Mr. Donkey's home.

As soon as he came in, he sat in a beautiful chair in Mr. Donkey's house. But when he left, he couldn't stand up anyway.

Mr. Fat Hippo is stuck in the thin chair of Mr. Donkey's house.

Mr. Donkey invited Dr. Crane and the carpenter Wolf to rescue Mr. Hippo.

The doctor crane took out his stethoscope and listened carefully to Mr. Hippo's heart. He comforted Mr. Hippo that his life was not in danger, but there was only one way to pull him out of the chair-to lose weight. Mr. Hippo won't eat or drink for a week. Maybe the thin chair will let him go.

"My God!" Mr. Hippo cried and said, "If I don't eat or drink for a week, I will starve to death!" " ! "

The carpenter wolf cut in from the side. He said, "I'd better come. Let me take down the chair with an axe and a saw, and Mr. Hippo will come out. "

"My God!" It's Mr. Donkey's turn to bid this time. He said, "This chair is the treasure of my family. My grandfather's grandfather once sat on it ... "

Finally, the clever rabbit suggested, "Let's hold a tug-of-war race!" " "

Everyone took Mr. Hippo and the chair to the river.

Bears, rabbits, monkeys, cranes and squirrels hold Mr. Hippo's hand; Wolves, badgers, pandas, cocks and hedgehogs pull the legs of chairs.

Mr. Hippo shouted one, two, three. Everyone worked hard and finally pulled Mr. Hippo out of his chair.

From then on, everyone fell in love with this tug-of-war horse activity, but because Mr. Hippo could not be stuck in the chair all the time, he replaced Mr. Hippo and the chair with a rope.

Everyone calls this interesting activity tug-of-war horse racing.

Mr. Hippo, waving the flag, is a natural referee.
