Long time ago, giraffe's neck used to be short. One day, some animals of the jungle decided to play hide and seek. Monkey said that he would seek all the animals.
All the animals ran to hide themselves but giraffe couldn't find a proper place to hide. He saw a hollow in a tree and tried to get inside. But his neck got struck in there. He tried hard to free himself but all went in vain. The giraffe started screaming.
On hearing the cries, all the animals came out of their hideouts. They pulled the giraffe out by his neck and it got elongated. Since then giraffe's neck is long.
