Hippo and the River <ough>

Long ago, Hippo lived on dry land under a sun so fierce he thought he might crack apart. All he wanted was to cool off in the river, but the Creator feared he would eat the fish. How could a hungry hippo ever prove his promise was strong enough to trust? This clever tale explains why hippos live in water. This Bookbot level practises the ‘ough’ phonogram, quoting the words ’thought’, ’enough’, ’though’, ‘rough’, and ’tougher’.
