I Can't Stand Seeing a Grown Hippo Cry

It's all too much for you to bear. You begin to weep uncontrollably. Big fat hippo-sized tears roll down your flabby cheeks, and you set up a loud mournful bellow. Your sobbing goes on and on.

"Whoa, looks like I got here just in time," says a familiar voice. You abruptly stop crying and stare at the open window. Perched in the frame is none other than Fred the wolf!

Unexpectedly, you become furious. "YOU!" you shriek, pointing a pudgy finger at the wolf. "This is all your fault! My life was just fine until I met you!"

"Hey, don't blame me, Tubby!" Fred answers with a frown. "Did I tell you to stuff your face? Did I sell you those pills? Did I make you take the whole bottle? Sheesh, I just stopped by to see if you needed any help, but if you're going to be this way about it ..." The wolf turns to leave.

"No, wait!" you cry desperately. "Don't go. Please, just tell me what's going on here."
