Read it through once

The hippopotamus cares nothing for men Who are 'holy' because they are poor. He treads upon the lilies and does not know them. He drinks at night and sleeps by day; He is the image of leisure and contentment. He has no need of prayers; he has no need of fasts. He knows his own strength and does not boast. He is happy in his own huge skin. He has the patience of a beast, the patience of a god.
