Once upon a time, there was a giraffe named Jefferey. Jefferey loved the leaves from the top of the trees, but he only got a chance to eat them when the birds brought them down for him.
The birds were nice, but when someone was rude to them, they didn't do any favors. One day, all the animals ran to the trees to eat the leaves. The giraffe was slower than the rest of the animals, so we he got there, all the leaves from the area he could reach were gone! The birds felt bad for the giraffe and brought him some leaves for the top. The birds continued to do this for a month, and the giraffe was very grateful.
One day, the birds were a little late for their meeting at the trees. Jefferey did not like this, so he yelled at the birds. "You birds have to bring me leaves! I've been waiting forever. Who do you think you are?" Jefferey yelled. The birds did not need to be treated like this, so they left.
Jefferey did not know what to do after he lost the help of the birds.
This made Jefferey think about what he did. He should have been grateful for the birds.
After days and days of not eating, he panicked. After trying to reach the leaves and failing, Jefferey decided he would have to apologize. Not only was that a problem, but he would also have to figure out what he would do when the birds went south for the winter. After traveling for miles and miles, he finally found the birds. After deeply apologizing and saying how grateful he was for the birds, the birds finally decided to forgive him. They also used their magic and gave him a long neck! The birds decided that he learned his lesson. Jefferey would never be ungrateful again. He also decided that he would use his neck to help all the other giraffes because he was so grateful. They all lived happily ever after!
