Hello children, my name is Fernanda and I'm Claudia's mom. 00:00:00
I'm here to give you a surprise, because today is Claudia's birthday, look, do you know this? 00:00:10
Do you know who is this? 00:00:24
Yes, this is Tufa, yes, it's a beautiful giraffe, and Tufa has knees, legs, and she has a tall, well, he has a long and thin neck. 00:00:27
Ok, well, I'm going to tell you a story about this giraffe, but my story is in English. 00:00:50
And in this book the giraffe is not Tufa, here in this book it is Gerald. 00:01:00
Would you like to hear the story? Yes? Let's go! 00:01:10
Giraffes can't dance. 00:01:15
Gerald was a tall giraffe, whose neck was long and slim, but his knees were awfully bandy, and his legs were rather thin. 00:01:22
He was very good at standing still and munching shoots of trees, but when he tried to run around, he buckled at the knees. 00:01:47
Every year in Africa they hold the Jungle Dance, where every single animal turns up to skip and dance. 00:02:09
And this year, when the day arrived, poor Gerald felt so sad, because when it came to dancing, he was really very bad. 00:02:33
The warthogs started waltzing, and the rhinos rock and rolled. 00:02:47
The lions danced a tango, which was elegant and bold. 00:03:07
The chimps did a ta-ta-ta with a very Latin feel, and eight baboons teamed up for a splendid Scottish reel. 00:03:21
Gerald swallowed bravely as he walked towards the floor, but the lions saw him coming and they soon began to roar. 00:03:41
Look at the lions here laughing. 00:03:55
Hey, look at clumsy Gerald, the animals all laughed. 00:03:59
Giraffes can't dance, you silly fool. Oh, Gerald, don't be daft. 00:04:05
Gerald simply froze up. He was rude to the spot. They are right, he thought, I'm useless. Oh, I feel such a clot. 00:04:19
So he crept off from the dance floor, and he started walking home. 00:04:34
He'd never felt so sad before, so sad and so alone. 00:04:43
Then he found a little clearing, and he looked up at the sky. 00:04:54
The moon can be so beautiful, he whispered with a sigh. 00:05:02
Excuse me, coughed a cricket. 00:05:08
Who'd seen Gerald earlier on? But sometimes, when you are different, you just need a different song. 00:05:13
Here is the cricket. 00:05:29
Listen to the swaying grass, and listen to the trees. 00:05:32
To me, the sweetest music is those branches in the breeze. 00:05:38
So imagine that the lovely moon is playing just for you. 00:05:46
Everything makes music if you really want it to. 00:05:53
With that, the cricket smiled and picked up his violin. 00:06:03
Then Gerald felt his body do the most amazing thing. 00:06:10
His hooves had started shuffling, making circles on the ground. 00:06:17
His neck was gently swaying, and his tail was swishing round. 00:06:24
He threw his arms out sideways, and he swung them everywhere. 00:06:37
Then he did a backwards somersault, and leapt up in the air. 00:06:45
Gerald felt so wonderful, his mouth was open wide. 00:06:58
I am dancing! Yes, I am dancing! I am dancing! 00:07:06
Gerald cried. 00:07:14
Then, one by one, each animal who'd been there at the dance arrived. 00:07:22
While Gerald boogied on, and watched him quiet entranced. 00:07:30
They shouted, It's a miracle! 00:07:38
We must be in a dream! 00:07:42
Gerald's the best dancer that we've ever, ever seen! 00:07:45
How is it you can dance like that? 00:07:56
Please Gerald, tell us now! 00:07:59
But Gerald simply twizzled round and finished with a bow. 00:08:03
Then he raised his head and looked up at the moon and the stars above. 00:08:17
We all can dance, he said, when we find music that we love. 00:08:26
Ok, and that's the story. I hope you like it very much. 00:08:36
I send you lots of kisses and a big hug. 00:08:42
See you! 00:08:47
