What is Why Giraffe Has a Long Neck about?

Once upon a time, Giraffe had a short neck and loved eating mangoes. One day, she got her head stuck in a tree while trying to fetch some honey. As the seasons passed, the tree grew taller, stretching Giraffe's neck. When she finally freed herself, she discovered her long neck was perfect for reaching the juiciest leaves atop the trees.
