- 2. After Herold had sat with Albert for a while it was clear that Albert couldnt hold his excite- ment any longer. They decided to give their 鍖rst magical travel adventure a try. That is just great! chuckled Albert with excite- ment! And I know just the place I want to go! Can we try? PLEEEEEEASE, he begged. Herold smiled. He was pretty sure he knew exactly where Albert wanted to go. So much so that he was ready to bet his dinner that Albert wanted to go to the kings of the ani- mal world and meet some mighty lions! Herold agreed that Albert should give it a go. Now all you have to do is imagine that we are in the place you want to go and let the Motley do the copyright tirod4fun rest. www.motlies.com
- 3. The next moment Herold couldnt believe his eyes! He wasnt sure if Albert was play- ing a joke on him or if the wish had gone totally wrong! There were no lions in sight. All he could see around him were huge hooves! What was going on? They were standing in the center of a herd of giraffes. Albert was quite scared and he felt like a mouse in front of huge dinosaurs. He build up all his courage after all he was gigantic in comparison to Herold and said, Hello, giraffes! My name is Albert and I can speak giraf鍖sh, please dont be scared, I come in peace and please, please be especially careful not to step on my friend Herold who is way down there on the 鍖oor. copyright tirod4fun www.motlies.com
- 4. Some of the giraffes needed to spread their legs in order to be able to look down and see Albert, not to mention tiny little Herold! They seemed friendly enough but before he could say any more, he was pushed over onto the 鍖oor. Albert shrieked with shock but the giraffes only laughed and said, Sorry, but obviously our young ones want to get a better look at the boy who can speak giraf鍖sh! A small giraffe came up close, Hello Albert, I am really sorry, I didnt mean to push you over but I was curious. I wanted to have a better look at you! copyright tirod4fun www.motlies.com
- 5. My name is Girlanda. But all my friends call me Gira. Albert looked up at Gira and was very aston- ished, Hello Gira he said, please tell me, is it normal that all young giraffes have a knot in their neck? Gira looked upset. Oh no, I nearly forgot about it! I was distracted by your spectacular arrival. We were all meeting because of the knot in my neck Gira started to explain how she came to have a knot in her long slender neck. I was watching a bird 鍖y in circles around my copyright tirod4fun favorite tree and instead of following its move- ment with my eyes I followed the bird with my www.motlies.com
- 6. whole head and somehow I turned it in such a strange way that I trapped myself and put a knot in my neck! Nobody has ever seen any- thing like it and now were trying to 鍖nd a solu- tion to un-knot me. Another giraffe introduced himself politely as Giras friend Roberto; I was just saying that it would be good if Gira does the same move- ments again but this time backwards. That should undo the knot. All the other giraffes agreed and encouraged Gira to go and give it a try. Gira tried and tried but she was too tense and couldnt do the movement backwards. It felt as if the knot was getting tighter and tighter with every try. Gira copyright tirod4fun got very upset. www.motlies.com
- 7. Stop! cried Albert, this isnt working but I might have an idea. Do you know of any other animal that has a long and wriggly bendy body? They all looked at Albert and tried to think of any animals that would 鍖t the description. Gira took a breath, What about a python? Everybody gasped! A python would surely 鍖t the description but it would be horribly dangerous to go near a python. A python could swallow a whole monkey, copyright tirod4fun maybe not a giraffe but probably a small hog and de鍖nitely a little hedgehog. www.motlies.com
- 8. Gira started to think out loud, Why should a python help me? I have nothing to offer to a python and everybody knows that they are not known to be the most helpful creatures. Roberto thought that he had an answer, he said, You just need to give the python some- thing it would really like. Food is always a good idea. Albert agreed, but one of the older giraffes said, Pythons dont eat regularly, they just need to feed once in a while. And if you 鍖nd a hungry python it will be very dangerous even though they are not poisonous. I wouldnt be surprised if it wouldnt try to swallow you whole! Albert felt very brave. Since I can speak with all copyright tirod4fun creatures Im sure I will be able to talk my way www.motlies.com
- 9. out of any tight spot. What danger could a python really be? Nobody was convinced that it would be a good idea for Albert or Herold to go with Gira. The giraffes tried to talk them out of the idea. Roberto looked at Albert and said, I am Giras friend and I will stand by her as she has done for me in the past. Also, I really think Gira and I are too big to be swal- lowed. We might get strangled but not eaten! And I know where we can 鍖nd a python. Gira agreed and told Albert that he had been already very helpful since he had come up with copyright tirod4fun the idea of talking to a python in the 鍖rst place. www.motlies.com
- 10. They promised to be back soon and to tell them all about what happened with the python. The other giraffes didnt want to let Gira and Roberto go alone and said that they were de- termined to go as a herd. Herold and Albert had to promise to go back home and only come back to meet them later. The herd didnt feel at ease having Herold and Albert around. They would certainly be in too much danger. After a lot of moaning, Albert 鍖nally agreed and said that they would be returning later that eve- ning. The herd moved towards a line of trees, their spotted coloring making them disappear copyright tirod4fun among the trunks, the branches and the leaves. www.motlies.com
- 11. Albert blinked and then Herold and he were back in the Motley. Albert felt dazed, had this just really happened? Herold smiled and said: You did well, lets just hope that your idea will help little Gira. She did look very uncomfortable and she was starting to turn a slightly worrying shade of blue since she couldnt breathe properly. Albert was in deep thought. He still couldnt believe that he had been in Africa just a few seconds ago! Albert and Herold went home for a snack and agreed to meet up later so that they could go copyright tirod4fun www.motlies.com
- 12. back to meet up with the giraffes and 鍖nd out if Alberts idea had worked out after all. More soon will they meet Gira again and will she still have a knot in her neck? copyright tirod4fun www.motlies.com
