Hugo the Hippo background

Hugo the Hippo

The Sultan of Zanzibar's solution to a shark-infested harbor yields an unexpected problem when twelve hippos, initially effective in keeping the sharks at bay, become a nuisance after their services are no longer required.

In the charming tale, the Sultan of Zanzibar's harbor is plagued by sharks, prompting him to enlist the help of 12 hippos to keep them at bay, successfully solving the issue. However, once the hippos are no longer needed, they become a nuisance, leading to their mass slaughter by Aban Khan, except for one small hippo named Hugo, whose fate remains uncertain.
