blue giraffe

Something I came up with while brushing my daughters teeth

There was a baby giraffe born. He was blue in colour with dark blue patches  So different from the rest 
The others were the usual shades of brown
Mum thought he was cold and tried to warm him up but he stayed blue
Sis asked him to rub against barks of trees and get their brown on him but he stayed blue.  
Then all the other giraffes laughed at him .he is blue blue blue
So the giraffe started crying boo hoo hoo
His tears fell fast and furious, giant tear drops and he started flooding the place. The other giraffes screamed in fright and asked him to stop he just cried harder and harder 
Soon all the giraffe were chest deep in tear water 
Along came a giant bird of paradise. With beautiful long feathers in every colour of the rainbow 
He said ah theres a lake here let me take a drink. He perches on a branch and takes a big gulp only to splutter in disbelief. The water was salty
Then he heard a wailing and a boo hooing. 
Asked giraffe what was the matter 
Told him he knew a place with many coloured giraffes 
Baby giraffe happy said please take me 
Didnt even say bye to mummy and sister 
But very slow for the bird
Bird tried to carry him couldnt
Nearly gave up 
Then a whole host of birds turned up. They lifted him up and he lay on the wings like a purple magic carpet 
Flew to the place with colourful giraffes 
Very happy 

Possible ending one
Missed his mum. Sends a letter home that he safe with his kind 

Possible ending two 
The birds are not kind. Sinister. They eat colourful giraffes to get their feathers in their colours
