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
A bored pelican that sounds just like me thought GiraRe Maybe if I write a letter I’ll feel less bored And if I use the new delivery service Pelican will feel less bored too Yes that’s what 12
I’ll do I’ll write a letter That night GiraRe fell asleep feeling much happier than usual as he thought about all the things he wanted to say The next day he wrote his very Srst letter and took it straight to Pelican Pelican was a little nervous After all this was his Srst customer Welcome to the Pelican Delivery Service Where shall I take your letter GiraRe was a little nervous too Give it to the Srst animal you meet on the other side of the horizon he said The horizon Er You mean that place over there Pelican pointed to the border between the bright blue sky and the green savanna That’s right GiraRe was beginning to feel excited And please bring back a reply 13
