In Africa I heard a story about a giraffe that did not believe himself.
The giraffe's mother had left him when he was a few days old because she couldn't feed
him. For three years he lived in the warden's 看守人) house and played with the children. Then he grew
too large for the house.
The family decided that he should return to his fellows. They took him to join a herd of wild giraffes.
One look was enough for the giraffe's small brain. He could not believe that such extraordinary(特别的) animals existed. Or that he was one of them ! He turned and ran away.
The family took him back several times. In the end they gave up. Now their giraffe lives by himself near
the warden's house.
