Little Giraffe and the Different Spots

Once upon a time, there was a little giraffe named Grace. Grace had a long neck and loved to eat leaves from tall trees. She lived with her family in a beautiful savannah surrounded by colorful flowers and tall grass.

All the other giraffes in Grace's herd had spots with the same pattern, but Grace was different. Her spots were bigger and shaped like hearts. Grace felt sad because she didn't look like the other giraffes.

One day, a wise old turtle named Timothy saw Grace looking sad. He slowly walked up to her and said, 'Little giraffe, your spots are unique and beautiful. It's okay to be different. Embrace your uniqueness, and you will shine even brighter.'
