When the pasha of Egypt sends his friend the king of France a magnificent giraffe, accompanied by its loving keeper, the people of France are awed and impressed, never having seen such a creature before.
Although generous Giraffe discovers with dismay that she has given away all but one of the seeds she bought to plant flowers for her mother for Mother's Day, she receives satisfaction in the end.
The other jungle animals make Memily the giraffe self-conscious about her size, until a meeting with another giraffe convinces her that she is just right for the kind of animal she is.
