The youngest giraffe had been running and playing all morning.
He was hot and thirsty.He looked around for his mother.He saw her going down to the waterhole.
The other giraffes were thirsty, too.They were all going down to the water hole.The youngest Giraffe RAN along beside them.
The giraffe looked around carefully for lions.They saw some zebras drinking water from the water hole.There were no lions today to be seen.It was safe for giraffes to stand and drink at the Waterhole.
The youngest giraffe wanted to be like big giraffes and zebras.He wanted to drink from the water hole Just like others.He had never done this before.
The youngest giraffe put his legs out wide.Then he put his leg down.He put his head down.But he could not get his mouth into the water.
The youngest giraffe tried again.He put his legs out a little bit more.Then he put his neck down.He put his head down.But he still could not get his mouth into the water.
The youngest giraffe had one more try.He pushed his legs out as wide as they could do.
And this time, When he put his head down,His mouth went right into the water.
And so he drank and drank until he was not thirsty anymore.
