“A Giraffe had a Short Neck”
He went to play a video game. He had a quarter in his mouth. He got the quarter, stuck it into the video game but he got his head stuck. He kept on pulling and his neck got longer. He pulled his head out and his neck stayed stretched. That is why giraffes have long necks.
