George was a giant, the scruffiest giant in town.
He always wore the same pair of old brown sandals and the same old patched-up gown.
“I wish I wasn’t the scruffiest giant in town,” he said sadly.
But one day, George noticed a new shop. It was full of smart clothes. So he bought..
A smart shirt,
A smart pair of trousers,
A smart belt,
A smart stripy tie,
Some smart socks with diamonds up the sides, and a pair of smart shiny shoes.
“Now I’m the smartest giant in town,” he said proudly.
George left his old clothes behind in the shop.
He was about to go home when he heard a sound.
On the pavement stood a giraffe who was shiffing sadly.
“What’s the matter?” asked George.
“It’s my neck,” said the giraffe. “It’s so very long and so very cold. I wish I had a long, warm scarf!”
“Cheer up!” said George, and he took off his stripy tie.
“It didn’t match my socks anyway,” he said, as he wound it round and round the giraffe’s neck.
It made a wonderful scarf.
“Thank you!” said the giraffe.
