Makes you wonder though... Did Hans Christian Anderson write The Ugly Duckling based on something he observed?

Either I'm having a nasty case of deja vu, or I first heard the story as the hippo was a tsunami survivor.

Time to trip off to Snopes...

Yup...tsunami it was...

I can't see the pictures either. They were fine a couple of days ago. A number of weeks ago I had this problem, but it disappeared until now.
