Gigi, The Little
Giraffe
|
In a forest, a
gorgeous little
giraffe ran
through the
trees, smelling
the leaves, the
flowers and all
she could find
around. She was
very young and
everything was a
novelty to her.
She ran into a
bunny and asked:
- Hello! I'm
Gigi. Do you
want to play?
The rabbit moved
his little nose
and wagged his
tail, then said,
belittling her:
- I can't play
with you, Gigi.
You are too big
and clumsy!
Gigi lowered her
massive neck and
walked away
feeling very sad.
Further ahead,
she found a pond
and saw a young
frog resting.
She approached
him, introduced
herself and
|
 |
|
invited him to
play. |
|
 |
The young frog,
who slept
satisfied after
eating many
insects, opened
his large eyes
to see who was
talking, then
answered:
- Be serious,
Gigi! How can I
play with a
little giant
giraffe? Besides,
I'm resting.
|
|
Once again, Gigi
walked away sad,
hanging her head,
but soon found
an unknown
animal. Curious,
she asked: |
- Hello! I am
Gigi, the little
giraffe! And who
are you? Do you
want to play?
- I am Ball, the
little bear. I
can't play with
you, Gigi. You
are too tall.
Gigi turned to
leave,
discouraged for
not finding a
friend to play
with. Suddenly,
she felt a
different smell
and full of fear
shouted:
- Run! A tiger
is coming around
looking for food!
Run! Run! ...
More than
quickly, the
rabbit got into
his lair, the
frog plunged
into the pond,
and the bear
climbed a tall
tree. And Gigi,
with her long
legs, ran back
home.
The huge tiger
passed by at
great speed and
went away.
The animals came
out of their
hiding places
and gathered.
The bear cub
said:
- If it weren't
for Gigi we
would now be
tiger food!
The others
nodded in
agreement, sorry
for the way they
had treated her.
So, they decided
to look for the
little giraffe.
After much
walking, they
saw Gigi picking
leaves from a
tree to eat,
along with her
mother.
They approached
and, ashamed,
thanked her for
saving them from
the tiger. Then
the little bear
proposed:
- Gigi, would
you like to play
hide and seek
with us?
- Come on! -
they all
insisted.
She nodded,
satisfied and
happy, seeing
that she was not
being rejected
anymore.
- So, I'll look
for you! - the
bear cub said,
hiding his face
in the trunk of
a tree and
counting to ten:
One, two, three...
ten. Here I
come!
The bear cub
started
searching and
the first one he
found was Gigi
because it was
hard for her to
go unnoticed
with her size.
She gave up all
happy.
- Now it's your
turn, Gigi. Hide
your face and
start counting!
Soon, Gigi went
in search of her
friends. As she
was tall, it was
not hard for her
to see where
they were but
she pretended
she could not
see them.
- Where are you...?
- she screamed
until, after a
long time,
sticking her
head in a tuft
of grass she
could find one.
Her friends
loved playing
with Gigi. She
was friendly,
cheerful, a good
companion, and
she became
beloved by all.
Thus the little
rabbit, the
young frog and
the bear cub
understood that
they should not
make hasty
judgement of
anyone.
|
All animals are
different from
each other, but
each one has
their qualities
when we get to
know them.
One day, Gigi
came in with a
new friend, who
she introduced
to the group:
- Guys, this is
Dina, the jaguar
cub! I found her
crying, very sad,
because they
killed her
mother. Dina is
alone
|
 |
|
in the
world and needs
friends! |
|
The others
exchanged
glances, then
ran to embrace
their new friend.
- Welcome to our
group, Dina! -
they yelled
happily
embracing her.
