A Bored GiraRe Writes His First Letter This is the African savanna home to one bored giraRe On this day like every other day the sky was clear and blue Cream puR clouds drifted slowly by a gentle breeze crossed the plain and there was an endless supply of acacia leaves which GiraRe loved to eat Sounds perfect you say You’re quite right 8
GiraRe had everything he needed But in fact there was one thing he was missing an extra special friend He had no one to share his feelings with And so alas he was a very bored giraRe And one more boring day was coming to an end 9
Today was just the same as ever Nothing happened as usual And I am just the same as ever Bored as usual GiraRe watched the sun slip slowly out of sight The horizon was mirrored in his big round eyes Suddenly he blinked 10
I wonder what’s on the other side he thought And what sort of animals live there He stretched his long neck as far as it would go But he couldn’t see beyond the savanna Wait I know I’ll write a letter Where did he get that idea Well when he was munching on leaves that afternoon he had happened to see this sign hanging from a tree 11
