How the giraffe got there spots & there long neck.

How the giraffe got there spots & there long neck.


Many many years ago giraffes didn't have spots and they didn’t have long necks infact they just looked like a yellow sun bleached horse.

One sparkly night the giraffe named Jewel couldn't sleep so she put on her warmest, fluffiest, spotted onesie, that always made her go to sleep. But later that night she felt something funny in her onesie and it was stuck to her so she pulled and stretched. Infact she stretched so much that her neck became longer, longer and longer. It had stretched so much that it was twice the size of its body. But the onesie wouldn't come off so she sat on her bed and cried.

While she was crying something magical happened, Stumble the sleeping god had just woken up from a deep sleep and watched Jewel cry. This is when he decided he had had enough so he flew down and said, “Abra Cadabra, make the onesie come off in a tick. “ There was a clatter and a bang and with that the onesie dissolved. The giraffe stopped crying but the spots from the onesie were still stained on Jewel’s skin.

 So that is how giraffes got their spots and their long neck.
So when you see a giraffe in the zoo with spots and a long neck you know what really happened.
