I was pleasantly surprised to meet my family.
I didn't understand why I didn't like them so much at the very beginning.
Although... I remember that Hippo seemed like a terrible monster to me when I first met him...
Uncle Henry disappeared for a few days. As soon as he got the photos, he hurried home.
"It'll take a while to decipher," he muttered to himself as he ran away.
“I already doubt that you will receive part of your inheritance,” laughed Hippo, “this scoundrel will probably want to take it all for himself.”
I went back to my music and almost forgot about Uncle Henry and his treasure hunt, but Hippo reminded me of this story.
- Your uncle called. He's in Africa, in prison. He went to look for his treasure, but at the airport someone planted drugs in his luggage. He asks me to fly in and get him out of prison. I'm leaving tomorrow. Try not to miss me too much. Or stay with relatives until I get back.
Ever since my mother disappeared, I've been afraid to be alone for long periods of time. Even the thought of it scares me.
But that's not the reason right now.
- I'll fly with you!
- No, not necessarily. You'll only get in the way
- No, definitely! I'll fly to Africa with you!
The hippopotamus looked at me in surprise - I'd never argued with him before. I was shocked by myself, but I couldn't stop
- I've never been anywhere except this stupid city and stupid farm! I want to fly to Africa too, save my uncle and find the treasure! It's my inheritance too!
Looks like I've convinced him.
I'm flying to Africa
