After the award ceremony, Farhan rabbit approached Henry for an interview on behalf of The Jungle Times.

"Hello, Henry! How does it feel to receive this bravery award?" Farhan asked Henry.

"I am happy to receive this award in recognition for an act of bravery, but in that moment, all I could think of was saving little Zain from that savage hyena," Henry said.

"Can you tell me what exactly happened?" Farhan asked the next question.

"I was resting in the river when Madhav shouted in panic, 'Help! Help! I looked over and saw the hyena chasing Zain in a frenzy."

"And then?"

Henry continued, "I let Zain go past me, and as the hyena came closer chasing him, I kicked it. It lunged at me, and that's when I opened my mouth wide and clamped down on its stomach with all my strength."

"That's impressive!"

"The grip of my jaws was powerful, forcing the hyena to release Zain from its mouth.

Thankfully, Zain was absolutely fine and ran to his father for safety,” Henry said.

"It is wonderful to see neighbours helping each other. You have done an incredible job," praised Farhan.

"Now, for the feature story on your life, I would like to know more about you. Let's start with your full name."

"Sure! My full name is Henry Hippopotamus, or 'Hippo' in short," Henry replied.
