Hello, my name is Kieran, and I am an English assistant at Vicente Ferrer School.
00:00:00
Today, we are going to be reading a book called Ginger the Giraffe.
00:00:09
All right, let's get started.
00:00:16
Okay, Ginger the Giraffe.
00:00:21
Once upon a time, there was a giraffe named Ginger.
00:00:29
Ginger lived in Kenya, a country in Africa.
00:00:34
Like all giraffes, Ginger had a long neck and long legs.
00:00:42
Because she was so tall, she was able to eat food from the very tops of the trees in the savannah.
00:00:49
The savanna in Africa is an area with lots of grass and some trees.
00:00:57
Sometimes a savanna is called grasslands.
00:01:05
The other animals like zebras and antelopes could not reach where Ginger could reach.
00:01:11
But Ginger always found food.
00:01:18
She loved the leaves and the new buds of the trees.
00:01:23
One day, Ginger was busy eating her favorite leaves along with some other giraffes.
00:01:29
It was a bright and sunny day, and there was not a cloud in the sky.
00:01:36
It had not rained for a long time, so the grass was very dry.
00:01:43
She heard a noise down at the bottom of her extra long legs.
00:01:49
It was her friend, Mickey the monkey.
00:01:56
Mickey was trying to say something, but Ginger couldn't understand what he was saying.
00:02:00
He looked very tired.
00:02:09
What's wrong? asked Ginger.
00:02:13
Ginger was a very kind giraffe and wanted to help everyone.
00:02:17
Just then, Mickey fell over.
00:02:22
Ginger was also a smart giraffe.
00:02:29
She knew what was wrong.
00:02:32
Mickey couldn't find anything to eat, and he was very hungry.
00:02:35
Ginger nibbled some fresh tender leaves and buds from the tops of the trees where she was eating.
00:02:41
She dropped some of the leaves and buds to the ground near where Mickey was.
00:02:48
Then she nudged him a little with the hoof at the bottom of one of her very long legs.
00:02:55
Wake up, Mickey, said Ginger.
00:03:03
I've found something for you to eat.
00:03:07
Slowly, Mickey sat up and ate a little.
00:03:11
Thank you, Ginger, said Mickey.
00:03:15
After a while, when Mickey was feeling better, Ginger asked him,
00:03:19
What happened, Mickey? Why are you so hungry?
00:03:26
Why can't you find anything to eat?
00:03:31
Mickey said, It hasn't rained for so long, and now there's no more food.
00:03:36
that's not good said ginger what's happening with the other animals
00:03:44
no one knows what to do answered mickey all the zebras and the antelopes and the elephants
00:03:50
are getting worried about the dry grass some of them are thinking about leaving the savannah
00:03:59
and trying to reach the jungle.
00:04:08
That's a long trip, said Ginger.
00:04:12
Are you going to go with them?
00:04:16
I don't know, answered Mickey.
00:04:22
What do you think we should do?
00:04:25
Ginger thought for a while and then suddenly she had a good idea.
00:04:29
We should go talk to Leo the lion.
00:04:35
He's the smartest animal in the savannah.
00:04:39
Mickey was too tired to walk, so Ginger invited him to ride on her back.
00:04:43
Hold on tight to my neck, said Ginger.
00:04:51
There's a lot to hold on to, joked Mickey.
00:04:56
Ginger laughed.
00:05:01
You're right. I've got the longest neck in Africa.
00:05:03
So they started their journey across the other side of the savannah to look for Leo.
00:05:08
Ginger and Mickey were in luck.
00:05:19
Leo was sitting up on a rock and he was really easy to see as they both walked through the grass.
00:05:23
Hi, Leo, they both shouted.
00:05:34
Leo has been napping and was a little grumpy when they woke him up but he was polite and said
00:05:37
hello Ginger and Mickey why did you walk the whole way across the savannah just to wake me up
00:05:47
But he was joking. He had a smile on his face.
00:05:57
Mickey says that there is no food left on the savannah because it's been so dry, said Ginger.
00:06:05
Do you have any ideas?
00:06:15
Leo thought for a while. He said,
00:06:19
There's nothing we can do about the rain.
00:06:23
it will come soon but we can't be sure when it will arrive when the rain comes
00:06:27
all the plants will grow again and there will be lots of food for everybody he thought a little
00:06:37
longer the only thing i can think of is everyone to move closer to the forest
00:06:46
he continued there will be more things to eat there but i know it's a long trip
00:06:56
and it will not be very easy it might take a few days to get there ginger and mickey
00:07:04
looked at each other and looked back at leo thank you leo said ginger
00:07:15
it's probably best if they all try to get closer to the jungle
00:07:22
they said goodbye and then walked back across the savannah now they needed to gather all the
00:07:28
animals together and start the long journey ginger didn't need to go along because she had
00:07:38
plenty of food in her high trees. But she was a good friend and wanted to help as much as she
00:07:47
could. They walked towards her favorite trees. And guess what Mickey saw? All of the animals were
00:07:57
already gathered there and waiting for Ginger and Mickey. Why are you all here? asked Ginger.
00:08:11
Eddie the eagle told us that you're taking us to the edge of the jungle, said one of the zebras.
00:08:21
How did he know? asked Mickey.
00:08:29
He heard you talking to Leo, said one of the antelopes.
00:08:32
So you've all decided to try to walk together to the jungle? asked Ginger.
00:08:37
Yes, they all answered.
00:08:45
If you'll help us get there, added one of the elephants.
00:08:47
Of course I'll help, said Ginger.
00:08:53
I'm your friend.
00:08:56
So, they started on their big journey across the savannah to the jungle.
00:09:01
The sun was so hot,
00:09:08
and there was no food and no place to get a drink of water.
00:09:11
And then they heard it.
00:09:18
It was thunder.
00:09:25
Boom, boom.
00:09:28
Thunder, they all shouted.
00:09:30
Thunder was very scary to the animals of the savannah.
00:09:34
Can you guess why?
00:09:40
Fire.
00:09:43
Fire.
00:09:44
Sometimes the lightning hits the dry grass.
00:09:46
and the whole savannah catches fire then everyone has to run and that's exactly what happened
00:09:51
fire they shouted they could smell it and now they could see it the fire was coming towards them
00:10:02
Ginger had to think fast because she was so tall she could see farther than any of the
00:10:18
other animals.
00:10:30
She stretched her long neck up as far as she could.
00:10:33
Now she could see a place where there was no fire.
00:10:40
Quick, she said to everyone, run this way.
00:10:45
All of the animals followed her and ran as fast as they could.
00:10:52
Soon, they were out of danger.
00:10:59
They stopped and gathered together one more time.
00:11:02
Is everyone okay here? Ginger asked.
00:11:07
She wanted to make sure they were all safe.
00:11:11
all the animals looked around they were all there and then the most wonderful thing happened
00:11:14
i felt a drop said zebra me too said the antelope it was rain finally everyone was very happy
00:11:27
It started to rain a little more and then a little more.
00:11:39
The rain put out the fire so they didn't have to run.
00:11:46
And the rain filled their watering holes and made the plants grow again.
00:11:52
So they didn't have to make that long trip to the edge of the jungle.
00:11:58
Everyone would soon have enough food and water
00:12:03
So Ginger the giraffe went back to her favorite tree
00:12:09
And continued to munch on the leaves and buds
00:12:16
All right
00:12:24
All right
00:12:26
That is the end of our book
00:12:29
Ginger the giraffe
00:12:32
Um, I hope that you enjoyed it. Um, happy World Book Day to everyone at Vicente Ferrer,
00:12:34
and I hope to see you soon. Stay safe!
