The next day, the two boys took the little star to the zoo.
They went up to Fanny, the most graceful giraffe they knew, her large head looming over the top of a tree.
- Hey kids, what's the hurry?
- Fanny, we need your help!
Julian told the whole story -the ball game, the shooting star, the cloud crash, whooops ...! How her family was expecting her back, up there in the sky; then he took Gluck out of his coat pocket.
- Oh, how sweet! exclaimed the giraffe.
Gluck started giggling as soon as she saw the spots on the giraffe and the horns on her head.
- Ha! Ha! Ha! You don't know how glad I am I fell on Earth! You guys are just too funny! she giggled. |
