Curled up at the base of the scales, fast asleep, was the oddest monster i'd seen yet. it had the head of crocodile with a lion's mane. the front half of its body was a lion, but the back end was sleek, brown, and fat - a hippo, i decided. the odd bit was, the animal was tiny - i mean, no larger than an average poodle, which i suppose made him a hippodoodle.

I'm not fighting with myself. oh, my god. that's how i am. you know, the story of the hippo? the hippo comes to the monkey and said, listen, i'm not a hippo. so, he paint himself like a zebra. he said but he's still a hippo. he said but look at you, you're painted like a zebra but you are a hippo. so then he goes, you know, like i want be a little parrot. so, he put the colours on him and he comes to the monkey and said but, sorry, you are a hippo. so, in the end, you know, he comes and said i'm happy to be a hippo. this is who i am. so, i have to be who i am and he's happy being a hippo.

Percy, meet gladiola. gladiola, percy." i stared at annabeth, figuring she'd crack up at this practical joke they were playing on me, but she looked deadly serious.
