And the moral of the story is ...
Rina's neighbours, five lithe gazelles, called her a lumbering dull-wit at every opportunity.
But Rina the Rhino had a dream: to be a Super Hero.
One night, a deadly fire broke. Rina was the first to sense it. She called out to the gazelles.
''Hop on my back, let's break out of here!''
Her speed to a maximum, Rina crashed through the zoo walls, allowing the other animals to escape from the blaze.
Safe but ashamed, the gazelles apologized profusely for their abject bullying and asked everyone to hail Rina.
Rina the Rhino had indeed become a Super Hero.

We live in a world where we are judged on appearances. I wanted an anti-hero, not beautiful, not slim, not even popular. I think Rina the Rhino fits the bill perfectly because at the end of the day, she is an absolutely gorgeous soul and oh, so forgiving. My daughter said she should have left the gazelles to their fate lol.

Lovely! Well good old Rina. She was bullied but thick-skinned enough not to seem to care... but under that thick skin beat a heart of gold. How feelgood!
But don’t think Frenchie that I haven’t noticed the quick profile photo switch. I can see the resemblance, but wonder why you switched back?
