Hazel the Hippo awakens to a bright, sunlit morning on the riverbank, but despite the sparkling beauty around her, she feels a heavy, unshakable gloom in her heart. As she watches the shimmering ripples, darting fish, and bustling wildlife, Hazel reflects on past moments of joy and realizes that happiness isnt simply found in playful splashes, laughter, or the beauty of natureits something deeper, quieter, and more elusive, waiting to be discovered within herself.
Step by careful step, she begins to notice the subtle wonders of the worldthe gentle sway of reeds, the sunlight on dragonflies, the soft murmur of the riverand feels the tiniest flicker of hope stir in her heart. Through observation, reflection, and tentative action, Hazel learns that happiness may not be a sudden, bright burst but a gradual journey, patiently revealed in small, meaningful moments, and she resolves to follow that journey, embracing curiosity, courage, and the gentle rhythm of life around her.
