A Boy Giraffe Named Rocco

This is a story about a boy giraffe named Rocco, who was nice and liked to play with people.  One day he was taking a walk with Sophia when he found a big giraffe, who was king of all the giraffes, who was really mean.  Rocco used his power to scare the mean giraffe away. He turned his neck around and bent over and the king got scared and ran away. 

Sophia watched Rocco scare the king away. She rode on the boy giraffe’s long neck all the way to Alaska where they saw a mean polar bear who was the king of all polar bears. Rocco was brave. Sophia was not brave, she was scared. She held on tight to the boy giraffe, who threw his foot around and tried to smash the polar bear but the polar bear did not get smashed. Then the polar bear kept running.  Then a rhino killed the polar bear with the horn on his nose.

Sophia was so happy and she said “Thank you, Rhino!”  Then the rhino went back home and Sophia found her Daddy in Alaska and her Mommy and her sister. Once the family was all together, they all picked pretty red leaves for the giraffe to eat.

And Rocco said, “Thank you!”
