1
00:00:02,740 --> 00:00:10,740
Gerald was a tall giraffe, whose neck was long and thin, but his knees were awfully crooked, and his legs were rather thin.

2
00:00:11,740 --> 00:00:29,129
He was very good at standing still and matching shoots of trees, but when he tried to run around, he buckled at the knees.

3
00:00:30,129 --> 00:00:47,929
Now, every year in Africa, they hold the Jungle Dance, where every single animal turns up to skip and prance.

4
00:00:48,929 --> 00:01:02,590
And this year, when the day arrived, poor Gerald felt so sad because when it came to dancing, he was really very bad.

5
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:14,019
The warthogs started waltzing, and the rhinos rock and rolled.

6
00:01:15,019 --> 00:01:21,829
The lions danced a tango that was elegant and bold.

7
00:01:22,829 --> 00:01:33,260
The chimps added a cha-cha with a very Latin feel, and Igua was dancing out for a skinny, scooty run.

8
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:51,329
Gerald swallowed Griffey and he walked towards the plot, but the lions saw him coming and they soon began to roar.

9
00:01:51,329 --> 00:01:58,689
Hey, look at Clumsy Gerald! The animals all sneered.

10
00:01:58,689 --> 00:02:02,689
You just can't dance, you silly fool! Oh, Gerald, you're so weird!

11
00:02:02,689 --> 00:02:16,229
Gerald simply froze up. He was rooted to the spot.

12
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:21,210
They're right, he thought, I'm useless, oh, I feel like such a glut.

13
00:02:25,460 --> 00:02:30,400
So he crept up from the dance floor, and he started walking home.

14
00:02:30,719 --> 00:02:34,580
He'd never felt so sad before, so sad and so alone.

15
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,960
Then he found a little queenie, and he looked up at the sky.

16
00:02:51,300 --> 00:02:55,080
The moon can be so beautiful, he whispered with a sigh.

17
00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:11,830
Excuse me, cock the cricket. Put syndrome early on. But sometimes, when you are different, you just need a different sound.

18
00:03:12,830 --> 00:03:25,409
Listen to the swing grass and listen to the trees. To me, the cutest music is those branches in the breeze.

19
00:03:25,409 --> 00:03:34,849
degrees. So, imagine that the lovely moon is playing just for you. Everything makes

20
00:03:34,849 --> 00:03:44,770
music if you really want it to. With that, the cricket smiled and picked up his violin.

21
00:03:52,590 --> 00:04:01,409
Then, Gerard felt his body do the most amazing thing. His horse has started shuffling, making

22
00:04:01,409 --> 00:04:13,090
circles on the ground his neck gently swinging and his tail swinging around he threw his legs

23
00:04:13,090 --> 00:04:21,569
out sideways and he swung them everywhere and he did a bubble somersault and left up in the earth

24
00:04:21,569 --> 00:04:29,459
Gerald felt so wonderful, his mouth was open wide.

25
00:04:29,459 --> 00:04:36,459
I am dancing, yes, I am dancing, I am dancing, yeah, right.

26
00:04:36,459 --> 00:04:49,009
Then, one by one, each animal could be there to dance, alright, while Gerald moved on and watched him get entranced.

27
00:04:49,009 --> 00:04:57,819
They should, it's a miracle, we must be in a dream.

28
00:04:57,819 --> 00:05:02,819
Gerald's the best dancer that we've ever seen.

29
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:12,240
How did you learn to dance like that? Please, Gerald, tell us how!

30
00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:18,810
But Gerald simply turned around and finished with a bow.

31
00:05:23,550 --> 00:05:27,550
Then he raised his head and looked up at the moon and the stars above.

32
00:05:31,660 --> 00:05:35,500
We all can dance, he said, when we find a music that we love.
