NAME:

a long and useful neck

Giro, the giraffe, is on his way to Horacio's hippopotamus house, but before he arrives, he passes by Ivo's monkey house.
– Did I hear something? – he asks himself, paying attention.
- Again! - he says.
- Help! Help! I'm stuck! Oh, help! - he hears. The scream comes from Ivo's monkey house.
Spin goes to Ivo's door.
– Ivo, are you having a problem? – he calls.

- Yea! Please come in! I'm stuck! – yells Ivo.
Spin walks in and sees Ivo in a corner of the room. Beside him is a paintbrush and a paint can.
The floor is all painted, except where Ivo is.
– Ivo, what is this? - Giro laughs.
– I started painting the floor, but I didn't think in which direction I would work. So I was painting until I ended up in this corner. I'm stuck here until tomorrow morning when the paint dries and I can walk on it! – Ivo regrets.
'Hmmm… Maybe I can help,' says Giro.
Giro stays where he is. Slowly, he bends his long neck over the fresh paint.
“Jump on my neck so I can get you out of there,” he says.
Ivo hugs Giro's neck, and Giro carefully lifts him over the fresh paint. He's free!
- Wow! You are a genius! – exclaims Ivo. – I'm glad it was you who came, not Horacio. He doesn't have much neck, and he has the biggest paws on the Island!
