THE GIRAFFE


One of the tallest and most interesting animals in the zoo is the giraffe. This is the giraffe we saw at the zoo. It is male and it is about six meters tall.

The lashes are an important source of protection. They can also cover the giraffe‘s nostrils in order to protect its nose. It has brown spots on the skin and this coloring helps protect the giraffe. The giraffe also has two shirt horns on its head.

Like the camel, the giraffe can go for a long time without drinking water. One source of water is the leaves which the giraffe eats the tender leaves at the top of a tree.

The giraffe lives in small herds and often feed with other animals. A baby giraffe is two meters tall a birth. It can stand up by itself within a few minutes after birth and can run well in about two days.

The giraffe has two methods of self protection. If something frightens an adult giraffe, it can gallop away at about fifty kilometers per hour or stay to fight with its strong legs.

So the king sent his men to search for all the happy men. They traveled all over the country, but they could not find one. There was no body who was completely satisfied. The men were very tired of their long search, and did not know when to go home. Just as they were worrying about that, they saw a worker who was singing merrily while he was at work.

“Are you happy?” they asked the man.

“Yes, I am happy as a lark.” Answered the man.

“Give us your shirt,” said the men. “We’ll give you as much money as you need.”

I’ll give this shirt, when I first reunited with the king. Okay I'll take you to the kingdom to meet the king.
