Jilly the giraffe lived at the Morgan Zoo. She liked the zoo and was friends with all the other giraffes. There was just one problem. Jilly was too tall. When she walked slowly around the zoo, she had to bend down (俯身) to get past some of the trees. The other giraffes just walked along without any problem. “Why can't I be like them? I get so tired of bending down to get past some of the trees!” she thought.
One day Jilly was eating leaves when she saw one of her friends, Granite, struggling (努力) to reach some leaves on the other trees. Jilly went up to him and asked, “What's wrong?” The giraffe said, “I'm having trouble reaching the leaves of these trees. I wish I were as tall as you so I wouldn't have any trouble getting my food. 揧ou want to be as tall as I am? asked Jilly. I always wanted to be shorter so I wouldn't have to bend down to get past all these trees. With that, Jilly pulled down the leaves for Granite. Suddenly two more giraffes came along and asked if Jilly could get them some leaves. Sure, said Jilly. 揑 would be glad to help you.
After all the giraffes had their food that day, Jilly started back to the other side of the zoo to rest (休息). She felt so happy and proud that she was able to help the other giraffes get their food from the tall trees. “How silly it was of me to want to be shorter like them,” she thought to herself.

Michael Morpurgo is a much-loved writer from Britain. He was born on 5th October 1943 and grew up in the south of England. French was his favourite subject at school and he studied it at university. After that, he became an officer (军官) in the army (军队), but he soon left and became a primary school teacher. This is when he found that he had a talent (天赋) for storytelling and soon began writing stories for children. “I could see there was magic in it for them, and realised (意识到) there was magic in it for me,” he said.
Michael Morpurgo gave up (放弃) teaching after 10 years and bought a farm with his wife. Together they began a charity (慈善机构) called Farms for City Children. They now have three farms where children from cities can come to spend time looking after animals.
Michael Morpurgo has written over 100 books, mostly for children. He writes about children and their relationships with older people and animals. Many of them have won prizes and several are now films or plays, including War Horse, which is now well known around the world. Another popular book is Kensuke's Kingdom. He wrote it in 1999.
