oo
It was a hot June day at the zoo. Prue was looking after the hippos when she noticed a leak in their pool. 2
She called up Fix-it Sue. “Come quick Sue, the pool has got a leak, and the hippos can’t keep cool.” 3
“I know what to do,” said Sue when she looked at the leak. She took her chewing gum and stuck it in the leak. 4
POP went the chewing gum, and the leak grew stronger. 5
“I know what to do,” said Sue. She used a plank and a tube of glue to fix the leak. 6
POP went the plank, as it flew through the air. The leak grew even stronger. 7
Then Sue took the plank and screwed it over the leak. The plank did not come loose. Prue threw her arms around Sue. “You are a true hero,” said Prue. 8
Comprehension Questions: 1. What was wrong with the Hippos’ pool? 2. Who looks after the Hippos at this zoo? 3. How did Fix-it Sue eventually fix the leak?
