How the Giraffe Got Its Spots

by Alexis, Brittaney, Logan

 

          Many years ago a man named Scott was walking in the forest. He saw a giraffe that he called Sunny. He named him Sunny because he was bright. The giraffe was so bright the forest ranger ran into a tree. Then he put on his sunglasses. "We have to do something about this brightness!" he said to his men.

           Scott got so tired of seeing Sunny’s bright color he decided to get brown paint and paint Sunny with brown spots. He wanted to cool down his color so he can hide from animals. Sunny will no longer hurt Scott’s eyes.

           Now all the giraffes got in line to get painted, but he ran out of his paint. There was only enough for two because they were so big. For each giraffe it took twenty spots, for both that would make 40 spots. 

From that day on that’s why giraffes have their spots.
