It was a beautiful morning with a soft wind blowing. Jina the giraffe was walking on the grass. A group of zebras ran 1 . Jina looked at them and thought, "Zebras take such 2 leaps(跳跃). How easily they run!

Look at my 3 —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. 4 I had a long nose, I would become happy like her. Jina thought.

Just then a crow came and sat on Jinas head. "Why are you s 5 ?"

Jina stood there with a sad face and said. "They all look so good, but I am so 6 . " "Jina, why do you think so? You 7 your own strengths, don' t you said the crow.

At that moment, a 8 came and said to Jina, " Jina, I need your 9 ! My kid has climbed up a tree Will you bring him down?"

"Of course! Jina stretched her long neck up and 10 brought the young lion down from the tree.

"So much joy in helping! Did you 11 helping someone, Jina?" asked the crow.

It really feels very nice. Now I have understood how 12 it is to have legs like long sticks and a long neck. I shouldn't consider them as my weaknesses. Instead I can 13 them into my strengths. "

"Yes, instead of feeling sad by comparing 14 to others, you should make the most of what you have and be happy. In this way, we can 15 a happy and meaningful life. "said the crow.

Jina the giraffe nodded and walked away with the crow happily.
