Dos historias originales, divertidas y muy muy tiernas, que harán reír a toda la familia.
Un domingo por la mañana, mi madre gritó:
- ¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UNA VACA EN LA NEVERA?!
Una enooorme aventura estaba a punto de comenzar.
Tan enorme como el corazón de vaca de Carola Quesodebola.
Y al siguiente domingo, apareció otra sorpresa... Mi madre me despertó gritando desde el baño:
-¡¿QUIÉN HA METIDO UN HIPOPÓTAMO EN LA BAÑERA?!
Mi cerebro pasó del descanso a la máxima actividad en un segundo, batiendo su propio record.
«Piensa, piensa, piensa...» pensé.
La lista de cosas metidas en sitios INCORRECTOS era bastante larga: medio bocadillo de mortadela en el fondo de la mochila (se me olvidó tirarlo a la basura el martes pasado); un calcetín de deporte en el acuario de peces tropicales de papá (mi intención era que cayera en el cesto de la ropa sucia pero me falló la puntería);dos dedos bastante limpios en el bote de la nata montada (¿quién es capaz de ver un bote de nata montada sin meter el dedo?)...
Sobre meter hipopótamos en bañeras no recordaba nada.

Highlights presents Heat-Wave Snake by Jennifer Owings Dewey. Jennifer remembers a sweltering June morning when a rattlesnake visited her studio looking for water and a place to sleep.
An Australian chicken breeder, Mr McFowler, fails to win competitions with his prized chicken, Hector, mainly because Hector had a nose pecking habit and an inability to remain still when being judged. Mr McFowler was downcast as he felt Hector was the best bird he had ever bred and his greatest chance of winning Champion Bird of the Show.
Mr McFowler, of Scottish descent loves to play old Scottish songs in his shed and sometimes dance to them. One day Hector starts dancing with him to his records. Mr McFowler sees an opportunity and he and Hector train the other chickens to become Highland Dancers. Mr McFowler is a resourceful man and makes things to aid with training. He dusts off his bagpipes and provides the music for the troupe.
It was a difficult task for Hector to mould the sometimes-reluctant individual chickens into a precision team. He eventually succeeds and they perform at local agricultural shows, the the Sydney Royal and finally get an invitation to perform at the famous Edinburgh Tattoo in Scotland, where they woo audiences with their amazing precision performance. They are feted and Mr McFowler is very proud that his prized chicken, which failed to become a champion show bird, was now a champion leader of a successful highland dance troupe. Mr McFowler, a romantically naïve bachelor, even makes a surprising romantic connection!

Because only Hedgie can fit into a small space ship, he flies to Mikkop, where he not only finds out what is clogging up Big Sparkler, but fixes the problem in a most unusual way. He returns home a hero amid cheers from the aliens and the scientists back at the Star Lab.
