Synopsis
Giraffe struggles with poor eyesight but refuses to wear the glasses her friends make for her, fearing she'll look silly. Instead, she dons an array of protective gear to prevent injuries from her frequent mishaps. After a series of comical incidents, her friends secretly place the glasses on her while she sleeps. Upon seeing her reflection the next morning, Giraffe realises she looks quite smart and embraces her new look.
