SICK GIRAFFE.

Nov the Giraffe had been grumbling
all day long," commenced Daddy, "and
the other Animals in the Zoo were all
getting very, very tired of hearing him
complain.
..And not one of you has asked me
what Is the trouble whined the Gil
raffe. I think you're all very heart
less. IL you We're sick, yes, any one
of you, I'd be SO sorry I'd weep. And
when I'm sick 1t makes no difference
to any Of you And the Giraffe locked
very mournful.
"'Why, Mr.. and Mrs. Lion even took
a nap this afternoon he continued.
I'D have thought they would have been
too worried for that. But no, they
slept and slept and didn't wake up I'M
til they thought 1t was Supper time.
And the Tiger over there-he was so
very rude-he roared and walked up
and down his Cage because he was an
CRY. As If anger was anything com
pared to feeling sick. And he was an
CRY about little Boy who had called
him Leopard by mistaket Such a
silly thing to be angry about
SWELL said the Tiger who had been
listening, as had all the Animals, even
though the Giraffe hadn't been talking
straight to any of them-but had just
been talking aloud about them all, ]
think that's very mean of you, Gil
raffe. OF course, no one could make
a mistake about you. I can't imagine
anyone calling you an Elephant or a
Rhinoceros or Kangaroo or Mon
key. Because Giraffe looks just like
a Giraffe and nothing else. So, Of
course, you would never have your
feeling hurt that way
"Well, very sensible 1t is of me to
look like myself and not like any other
Animal. But just the same I'm sick
and no one cares, and it's cruel-that's
what 1t is
How perfectly absurd to say It Is
cruel said Mrs. Lion In a very roaring
voice, for she was angry that the Gil
raffe had talked about the nap she and
Mr.. Lion had been taking. 1T would
be cruel of you to expect us to take
an interest In your sickness. We all
know you have Sore Throat again--and
then you'll tell us how much worse 1t
is than any other Animals Sore Throat
could ever be because you have such a
great, long neck. 1t would give us the
Sore Throat to look up at your neck
and to see if we thought 1t was in such
terrible condition. You shouldn't ex-
pect so much of your Friends
"'That's where you're wrong, Mrs.
Lion said the Giraffe. I haven't
the Sore Throat at ALL
Sat that all the Animals looked up in
surprise, for to hear that the Giraffe
was i'll without a Sore Throat was the
strangest thing they had ever heard of.
What is the matterT they all
shouted. And you should have heard
the roars that came from the Zoo
house, as they asked that question.
"'Oh, now you take an interest, do
your said the Giraffe who was get
