Giraffes are (0) the tallest animals in the world. They live in hot, dry places in Africa and they walk for a long time every day to food. Because giraffes are so tall, they easily reach leaves at the top of high trees. A giraffe uses its strong mouth to help pull leaves from the trees.
Giraffes usually eat special leaves, are very sweet and have lots of water inside. They do not need to drink water every day they get water from their food. When a giraffe goes to a river, it must open its long legs. The giraffe cannot easily run away, so giraffes stay near and watch carefully.
Giraffes sleep for only a few hours every day, and they stand up when they sleep! Mother giraffes stay together in groups to keep young babies safe from lions. If a lion comes near a baby giraffe, its mother kicks the lion to make it go . Giraffes are quiet animals, but they make soft sounds to talk to other.

Harry was feeling very happy because his summer holidays had just started, and he had two weeks to play and have fun by the sea.

Then he saw an old man who was wearing a striped shirt. The man was looking carefully next to some large rocks and looked very worried.

'Thank you so much!' said the old man. As Harry started walking away, the man shouted, 'Wait a minute!' He took some money from his wallet and gave it to Harry, together with two funfair tickets.
