Where did Giraffe get his specks

Once upon a time in a hot yellow Africa there lived Giraffe. He often stood in the shade of trees and was sad. 


It's all because he did not have any specks. He was all sunny-yellow without even a single colorful spot. Once Giraffe stood under a large baobab
and sobbed so much that under his feet was a pool of tears. Elephant passed by him.
"Hello, Giraffe," said Elephant, why are you so sad? 
"Hello, Elephant," answered Giraffe, "you know, everyone is so beautiful: leopards have specks, tigers and zebras have stripes, but I'm not colorful at all."
"I know how to help you!" said Elephant. "Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"
Nearby lived Flamingo. He was an artist and gave Elephant a lot of paint - a whole bucket. 
"And now," said Elephant, returning to Giraffe, "I will paint you."
He began to dunk his paws in a bucket and put specks on Giraffe. He was so carried away he began to dip his trunk as well. Spots turned out very different - various shapes, colors and sizes.
 
Giraffe was so happy - he has never been so beautiful! He ran into his garden and brought the biggest and sweetest orange he could find on the tree. He gave it to Elephant happily.
"What about," Giraffe said to Elephant," if I adorn you a little too?" He painted Elephant and tied a little bow on his tail. Giraffe and Elephant were visiting their friends all over Savannah and everyone admired them. All the animals loved creativity of two young artists. They wished to be colored as well.

Since then, Elephant and Giraffe have been walking around with a bucket of paint bringing bright colors and good mood with them.

The End.
