Once upon a time, there lived a hunter, his wife and they had one son. They had spent many days without having food.

He went into the forest to find food for his family, but his traps did not catch any animal. Except for one that had caught an animal.

The hunter was filled with joy at the sight of the catch a big giraffe. This will feed his family for weeks, thought the hunter.

He thought of a method he would use to kill the giraffe from a safe distance. He decided on using his spear to stab the animal in the heart.

He was too excited and when he threw the spear he missed the giraffe and instead cut the rope freeing it. Oh no! What had he done.

He quickly ran to pick up his spear to take another shot. The giraffe however broke into a run, almost trampling him.

In a dramatic twist, the hunter tried clinging onto the giraffe's tail but he could not hold on tightly and the giraffe escaped.

He was disheartened and regretted the stupid thing he had done and wondered how he was going to face his hungry family.
