It was a beautiful morning with a soft wind blowing. Jina the giraffe was walking on the grass. A group of zebras ran ______. Jina looked at them and thought, “Zebras take such ______ leaps. How easily they run! Look at my ______ -it is so strange-looking.
Then she saw an elephant by the lake. “The elephant takes water in her long nose and sprays (喷洒)it everywhere. She has so much fun. ______ I had a long nose, I would become happy like her. “ Jina thought.
Just then a crow came and sat on Jina’s head. “Why are you so ______?”
Jina stood there with a sad face and said, “They all look so good, but I am so ______.” “Jina, why do you think so? You ______ your own strengths, don’t you”, said the crow.
At that moment, a ______ came and said to Jina, “Jina, I need your ______! My kid has climbed up a tree. Will you bring him down?”
“Of course!” Jina stretched her long neck up and ______ brought the young lion down from the tree.
“So much joy in helping! Did you ______ helping someone, Jina?” asked the crow.
“It really feels very nice. Now I have understood how ______ it is to have legs like long sticks and a long neck. I shouldn’t consider them as my weaknesses. Instead I can ______ them into my strengths.”
“Yes, instead of feeling sad by comparing ______ to others, you should make the most of what you have and be happy. In this way, we can ______ a happy and meaningful life.” said the crow.
Jina the giraffe nodded and walked away with the crow happily.
