1 minute stories: “Gerald lost”

Once upon a time, there was a giraffe named Gerald. Gerald was different from all the other giraffes in the savannah because he had a terrible sense of direction. He would often get lost while wandering around, much to the amusement of the other animals.

One day, Gerald decided that he wanted to go on an adventure. He set off early in the morning with a backpack filled with snacks and a map. The other giraffes wished him luck and warned him to be careful, but he just laughed it off and said, “I’ll be back before you know it!”

As soon as Gerald left the herd, he got lost. He had forgotten his map at home and didn’t know which way to go. He wandered around for hours, trying to find his way back. He passed a group of zebras who were laughing and pointing at him, but he didn’t pay them any attention. He was determined to find his way home.

Finally, after wandering for most of the day, Gerald stumbled upon a group of lions. The lions were very friendly and offered to help him find his way home. Gerald was relieved and gratefully accepted their offer.

The lions led Gerald back to his part of the savannah, and he was greeted by the other giraffes who had been worried sick about him. They were all very happy to see him and relieved that he was safe.

From that day on, Gerald decided to stick to the savannah and never went on any more adventures. He was content to live his life with the herd and enjoy the simple things in life, like eating leaves and napping in the sun.
