Hippopoville était une petite ville si tranquille... jusqu''au jour où le roi proposa d''offrir son royaume à qui ferait pousser la plus belle pastèque du pays. Peu à peu, les habitants d''Hippopoville, qui s''entendaient si bien, commencent à s''épier et à refuser de s''aider. Qui va donc gagner à Hippopoville ? Cette histoire, écrite et illustrée par Tim Egan, raconte avec humour que ça ne vaut pas la peine de gagner si c''est pour perdre le bonheur d''être ensemble.

When a magic fly grants Arthur Crandall three wishes, he''s not very impressed, especially since he doesn''t believe in magic flies.
