Gemma the giraffe was invited to a tea party inside the jungle clubhouse with all her animal friends.
She was so excited that she wore her favorite flower necklace and brought a basket of sweet leaves to share.
But when she tried to walk through the clubhouse door, her long neck bumped the top—bonk!
She tried to duck, twist, and even crawl, but nothing worked—she was just too tall!
Her friends peeked out and giggled kindly, saying, “Let’s have the party outside instead!”
So they set up cushions and teacups under a big tree, where Gemma could stretch her neck to the sky.
She smiled brightly and poured tea with her mouth, feeling happy and included.
That day, Gemma learned being different made the party even more fun!
