Hippo didn’t see that Rabbit was there and she accidentally stepped on Rabbit’s foot.
Rabbit started screaming at Hippo, “You Hippo! Can’t you see that you’re stepping on my foot?”
Hippo apologised to Rabbit, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t see you. Please forgive me!”
But Rabbit wouldn’t listen and he shouted at Hippo, “You did that on purpose! Someday, you’ll see! You’re going to pay!”
Rabbit went to find Fire and said, “Go, burn Hippo when she comes out of the water to eat grass. She stepped on me!”
Fire answered, “No problem, Rabbit, my friend. I’ll do just what you ask.”
過了一會兒,河馬正在離河岸很遠的地方吃草。呼的一聲,火突然燒起來了,燒到了河馬的身上。
過咗陣,河馬正喺離河岸好遠嘅地方食草。「哄」嘅一聲,火突然間燒起上嚟,燒到河馬身上。

Later, Hippo was eating grass far from the river when, “Whoosh!” Fire burst into flame. The flames began to burn Hippo’s hair.
Hippo started to cry and ran for the water. All her hair was burned off by the fire.
Hippo kept crying, “My hair has burned in the fire! My hair is all gone! My beautiful hair!”
兔子終於報了仇,他高興壞了;直到現在,河馬也不敢離河岸太遠,因為她害怕又要被火燒。
河馬嘅毛燒咗,兔仔就好高興。直到今日,河馬都唔敢離河岸太遠,因為佢驚又要被火燒啦。

Rabbit was happy that Hippo’s hair was burned.
And to this day, for fear of fire, the hippo never goes far from the water.
