Ginger had to think fast. Because she was so tall she could see farther than any of the other animals.
She stretched her long neck up as far
as she could. Now she could see a place where there was no fire. “Quick!” she said. “Everyone run this way.”
All of the animals followed her
and ran as fast as they could. Soon, they were
out of danger. They stopped and gathered together one more time. “Is everyone here?” Ginger asked. She wanted to make sure they were all safe.
All the animals looked around; they were all there.
And then the most wonderful thing happened. “I felt a drop,” said a zebra. “Me too,” said an antelope. It was rain! Finally! Everyone was very happy. It started to rain a little more and then a little more. The rain put out the fire so they didn’t have to run. And the rain filled their watering holes and made the plants grow again,
so they didn’t have to make that long trip to the edge of the jungle. Everyone would soon have enough food and water. So Ginger, the Giraffe went back to her favorite tree and continued to munch on the leaves and buds
The end❤️
