A Story About...Hippos?

Here's my story:

As I was wandering, I noticed a small cave etched in the bottom of a cliff, and entered. I followed a short pathway that led to a sudden stop at another huge cliff inside the cave. There, far below me, was a beautiful, rushing underground stream. I had decided I’d sit down and watch the stream flow by for a few moments, when suddenly, I noticed a flash of pink fly in front of me down the cliff. I excitedly stuck my head out over the cliff, and there, lying on the ground of the cave, was a child-sized pink hippo. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw another flash of pink, and I quickly brought myself back in so as not to be hit. Soon, hundreds of small, pink hippos were falling down before my very eyes. After watching a few hippos fall, I decided the creatures were most likely not harmful, and it’d be better to help them just sit around watching them fall. I desperately searched my surroundings for something to aid me in catching a hippo, and spotted one of the strange weave-plants I had seen earlier. I stuck the weave-plant out over the cliff like a net, and, within seconds, I had caught a hippo! I quickly retracted my weave-plant net, dumped the hippo behind me, and “cast” my net again. After I had rescued two more hippos, no more fell.

What do you think of it? It starts abruptly and references things that haven't happened yet because this is all I've written- I haven't written the beginning yet. Can I improve my grammar? Spelling? The way I describe things? The lack of description? I'm all ears for suggestions  big_smile

That is all.

Cool hippo story, bro.
I don't like the lack of dialogue, though.

But that would mean that this was a lie, meaning that this is true, but if it's true, then it can't be a lie, eh?
