Almost everyone have ever been collecting something - stamps, candles, phone cards, cds, lucky lottery tickets and a mass of other pretties. As for me, I can hardly imagine our house without giraffes! Toys, paintings on walls, plates and cups, pillows, crystal and wooden statuette, even the floor-covering with giraffe figures in the bathroom - they are everywhere around!!! Thus and so our house looks like a real zoo! These gorgeous animals are the craze in our house due to my mom. She was the very first to start collecting them from scratch and now almost thousand of giraffes live together with us under the same roof. My dad calls them pesky little creatures... Hehe... Nevertheless there’s a whole bunch of positive sides - for instance, our friends do not need to puzzle their heads over what they’re going to present us on holidays. =) Giraffes are always welcomed in our house!
Here’s s a sweet poem about giraffes:
Giraffes are lucky they're so tall;
They make us humans feel so small.
They simply look down on us all.
Those elegant giraffes.
