Zuzu put her head under the pillow in order not get out of the bed. School time was approaching, her mother was trying do wake Zuzu up but Zuzu doesn’t want to go school.
Zuzu: Mom! I don’t want to go school!
Zuzu’s mother: Zuzu if you don’t go to school, you will be bored here. You are playing with your friends there.
Zuzu: No, I am not having any fun. All my friends are kidding me. Whatever Zuzu did, she couldn’t persuade her mother and she changed her clothes very sadly. While having breakfast, Zuzu didn’t eat anything because she was still very upset. When she went to her school, she immediately sat on her chair. Zuzu was a giraffe going to the kindergarten and everyone was kidding her about her height. When the bell rang everyone entered the class. Everyone was looking at Zuzu and laughing and Zuzu became very unhappy. The animal who was kidding Zuzu the most in the classroom was rabbit Hophop. When Zuzu got up on the board, Hophop always laughed at her and made fun. Of course, their teachers shouted at them but nobody listened to the teacher. When Zuzu went to the board, she fell down and everyone started the mock her.
Hophop: You are too tall, but you can’t walk on a straight road.
All class: HA HA HAAA!
Zuzu couldn’t stop this time. She took her bag and left the classroom with crying.
Zuzu(crying): I wish I hadn’t been this tall and nobody would make fun of me then.
When Zuzu went home, Zuzu’s mother became very upset as she saw Zuzu crying and she went near Zuzu and hugged her and she said: Why are you crying Zuzu?
Zuzu: They mocked me again. I told you mom I won’t be happy there.
Mom: When I was at the same age, my friends were always mocking me too and I was crying just like you. Then one day my father came near me and he said: “Don’t cry. They will beg you when they need you one day and they will understand how you feel. Being tall isn’t a bad thing. Don’t cry about this”. Then Zuzu’s mom left the room. Zuzu felt a bit happy but she was still very sad. Zuzu cried in her bed and fell asleep when her mother woke her up she said:
- Zuzu there is a fire in your school and one of your friends stayed in the school. First Zuzu didn’t want to go because they always make fun of Zuzu but then she got up and they went to the school. When they arrived at the school, the school was in flames “help!” sounds were coming from inside. Zuzu understood that the animal inside was the rabbit Hophop. Zuzu immediately went inside to rescue the Hophop without thinking. She could easily see everywhere because she is very tall. She followed the voices and immediately went near Hophop. Hophop was stuck somewhere. Zuzu took the Hophop out without having difficulty. Then they immediately went outside. When they went outside everybody clapped Zuzu.
Hophop: Thank you for saving me and sorry for mocking you.
After that, everyone apologized Zuzu and no one made fun of Zuzu about her height and Zuzu said herself: “Being tall isn’t bad☻”
