together. They would chase and race each other. They laughed and they were
very happy.
One day the sky looked dark like a big storm was coming. They decided that
they needed to find a safe place to stay the night. They walked for a long
time. At last they came to a big wooden house. A man was just about to
close the doors when he saw the giraffes. They told him that they needed a
safe place to sleep. The man told them that he only had enough room for two
of them inside. One of them was going to have to sleep outside in the rain.
They didn't know what to do. Then one of the little giraffes said that he
would sleep outside so that the other two could stay dry. The two other
giraffes thanked him and said that they would see him in the morning. It
rained very hard all night. The next morning when they woke up the two
giraffes couldn't see land anywhere. It rained so much that the giant house
was floating on the water. It rained a very long time. They missed their
friend and hoped that he was safe. Days and nights were filled with the
sounds of rain and thunder.
Then one day all the rain stopped. The land dried up and the house settled
on top of a huge rock. The old man let the giraffes out. The two of them
looked and looked for a long time. They never did find their friend.
Not all stories have a happy ending.
