About This Quote
When a hippo rolls along a roof, the noise it makes is quite distinctive. When an elephant walks, one can hear the shuffling of its feet and the clicking of its long tusks. However, when a hippo rolls along a roof, you can’t see it. The sound it makes is quite distinct and resembles a rolling-hippo-roof sound. Rob bursts through the door to Jane’s house, and she sees him as he emerges from the darkness.
