Story

In a river without crocodiles called the "Zambam River", many hippos are playing happily; however, one unusual hippo named Henrietta got out of the river with a very hairy body. As the other hippos begin seeing her hairy body, they begin taunting her, which Henrietta sadly reacts to the hippo. To her sadness, Henrietta begins to run away from the river.

Upon leaving the Zambam River walks towards the desert, thinking that the river can be unpleasant for her to return. Behind her was a dromedary camel named Dennis, who is eligible to help Henrietta find her way across the desert. Dennis was able to bring her across the desert, leading her into a dark jungle. Exploring the jungle, Henrietta feels very nervous about what danger lies ahead in the jungle. While exploring the jungle, Henrietta runs across a spider web, which is her greatest obstacle, not noticing there is a spider trying to eat her. Soon as the spider attempts to attack her Henrietta called out for help. Giggles and Tickles arrive pretend to be a spider, scaring the predator away. With the spider gone, Giggles and Tickles manage to rescue Henrietta.

Henrietta faced her biggest challenge: the boulders on the Blue Mountain and then reached the top. Upon reaching the top of the mountain, Henrietta can see her home far from the mountain. Behind her was a secretary bird, the Snip Snip Bird, which Henrietta tells him about the hippos making fun of her ugly hair. The Snip Snip Bird begins to give Henrietta a great style, in which she's happy about.

Henrietta returns home to the river. The hippos are happy with Henrietta back at her home. Henrietta began telling her story about her adventures across the desert through the mountain.
