The Giraffe's Short Friend

On a bright savanna, Tallulah the giraffe towers over the other animals, her long neck reaching the highest leaves, while Pip, a tiny dik-dik with soft reddish-brown fur, big round eyes and a little blue bead necklace, lives down in the short grass. Meeting by a thorn tree, the two laugh at how different they are, since Tallulah can reach the very top branches and Pip can slip through tiny spaces. Their differences soon make them best friends, and each day together becomes an adventure of high views and low, secret places.

Then a strange humming sound starts coming from the old baobab tree, and none of the savanna animals can tell where it comes from. Tallulah stretches her neck high but sees nothing, and Pip scurries under roots and behind rocks without finding it either. The elephants, monkeys and birds all try and fail. Written by Ebru Mina TOMURCUK, this gentle tale about friendship, curiosity and teamwork can be read on Onlinemasal Com.Tr, and it shows young readers how sharing what each of us can see helps solve problems no one could solve alone.
