[…] Race day was soon set. The leopard, sure he was going to win, _________________ all the animals in the forest to see him defeat the big one. The animals flocked to have fun and cheer for the giraffe's defeat.
As soon as the start was made, the two went side by side, but soon the leopard took the lead. It ran so much that it ended up crashing into a tree and had to abandon the competition.
The animal was very disappointed to see the giraffe become champion. After the victory, she became even more talkative.
Nobody had the patience to put up with that endless blah blah blah anymore. Until the monkey, smart as he is, decided to do something about it.
He took a piece of resin from a tree and mixed it in the branches that the giraffe usually chews. Then he hid, waiting for the loudmouth to arrive to eat.
The leaves clung to the giraffe's long neck, and as much as she coughed and spit, they stuck to her throat, shutting her up forever. Thereafter, his descendants were born without a voice.
