"Run for Your Lives"

"Run for your lives!" said the store owner,"there is a pink hippo in aisle six!"
The two kids who were having an argument about who would pay for the three candy bars were so surprised that they just stood there with there mouth dropped open.
"Boys don't just stand there runnn!" hollered the owner.
"I can't run I have a fracture in my leg." cried a little old women trying to hop down the aisle.
"Don't worry, I will carry you." said the store owner as he heaved the little old women into his arms and ran towards the door as he knocked down some of the ornaments that were sitting an a table. The pink hippo walked up to the stunned cashier and all the hippo wanted was to by some milk so the cashier scanned the jug of milk, put it in a grocery bag and the hippo payed the fine and went out the door. Everybody was in amazement. Today was now turning out to a great day and that hippo incident differently cured the boredom they had been feeling earlier that morning. The store owner wasn't surprisingly mad he had to get a catalog to pick item out that needed a replacement for but he just laughed as he picked up aisle seven. He whispered, "A pink hippo needs milk, what a crazy world this is."
