Giraffes Can't Dance

Product Information

If you don’t have the original blue covered book this is a gorgeous story of finding yourself and embracing your own magic and interests even if people laugh at you. The big-game hunter must be endowed with great powers of endurance, self-denial, forbearance, and tact when dealing with the natives, and he must be able to act with great bravery, often at a moment’s notice. The scene then cuts to Gerald's parents, in which Peppa says to them that they're taller than the sky, and Mummy Giraffe says that due to her species, and Gerald says this due to their really old age, which makes everyone laugh as the episode ends.

After getting introduced to the others, Peppa says that he's taller and older, but Madame Gazelle says that he's the same age like the others (excluding the toddlers).

In his Popular Guide To Exhibition Of Big-game Trophies he wrote: “My advice to young men is, get out of these dirty, narrow-minded towns with their many temptations, and get into the clean country, where a man worries less, for he uses his body more and his brain less, with the inevitable result that he feels well and strong, and can see and appreciate around him the beautiful works – not of man, but of God.
