THE GIRAFFE WHO COULDN’T REACH

There lived a giraffe. He was the tallest giraffe that


anyone had ever seen. He was proud of his height.
The monkeys were very annoyed with giraffe's
behaviour. One young monkey thought to teach the
giraffe a lesson.

One day he said to the giraffe, “There's some


lovely juicy fruit growing on that tree, but you
wouldn't be able to reach it. The giraffe said, “ it is
impossible. Just watch me.” Then the giraffe
reared up its long neck, and put out the tongue, but
the fruit was just out of reach. “I said you couldn't
reach it,” said the monkey. “But I can.” Suddenly,
the monkey jumped on to the giraffe's back and
scrambled up his neck. Then he stretched out his
long arm and picked the fruit. The monkey said,
“We could not do it alone, but we can do it
together.” And after that, the tallest giraffe didn't
boast any more, and it became best friend of
monkey .
