Gerald was a tall giraffe whose legs were long and slim, but his knees were awfully bandy and his neck was rather thin. Gerald was not a good dancer. Every year he dreaded the great Jungle Dance. But what Gerald discovers one beautiful moonlit night is that when we're different, sometimes all we need is a different song to dance to.
