A tall hat flopped over his eyes, and Otto bumped gently into a rock.

A striped hat tickled his arm, and Otto laughed until bubbles floated up.

His friends came to see the funny sight, and they clapped and cheered for Otto.

Otto lined the hats up again, neat and straight, one for each wiggly arm.
