I feel relieved now!
Chinese A lvls are finally over! :DD
which means its holidays already, but monday will be the last lap, OP! (another A lvl thing)

I feel like sharing a story with your..
its entitled 'The Little Giraffe'

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, a little giraffe lived in East Africa.
This little giraffe was the first giraffe in the world. He would roam the plains...
...with the zebras, the elephants & the antelopes - though he didn't get too close to the lions.
But his best friend in the whole world was Rhino.
Every day, they would tell each other dreams & secrets.
And, every day, they would look for food, in the dusty red sands of the scorching plains.
But the sun blazed down...
...cracking the earth & withering any plants that tried to grew.
im hungry.
Often, there was no food to be found anywhere.
One morning, Rhino's belly rumbled like a herd of stampeding elephants.
"I'm so hungry." he moaned.
"Perhaps the wise man in the village can help us," suggested the little giraffe.
They trekked all the way to the willage & called for the wise man.
Leaning on a stick, he came out of his hut to see what the noise was about.
We're always hungry. Please can you help?
"Hmm," said the wise manm going back inside his hut to check a potion.
"If you come here again tomorrow, I'll see what I can do."
The next day, the little giraffe visited the wise man on his own.
There was no sign of Rhino. The little giraffe hadn't been able to find him anywhere.
"I've made you a magic drink," said the wise man.
"But where's your friend?" The little giraffe had no idea.
"Oh well," said the wise man, "would you like to try it anyway?"
The little giraffe began to drink. First, his legs grew longer.
Then, his neck s - t - r - e - t - c - h - e - d up higher... & higher...
"It worked!" cried the wise man.
"Now you can reach the leaves of the top-most branches of trees."
Meanwhile, where was Rhino?
Well, he had forgotten all about going to see the wise man, because he had found a tasty patch of dry grass.
He munched away, feeling very pleased with himself.
"There you are," said the not-so-little giraffe, coming up behind him.
"Hey! What happened to you?" asked Rhino, with his mouth full.
You've been stretched!
"The wise man made an amazing drink," replied the not-so-little- giraffe.
"And I grew... & grew... & grew!"
"I wonder what will happen to me?" said Rhino excitedly.
But there was no drink left. Rhino was furious.
"You could have saved me some," he snorted.
He glared at the giraffe, who turned away to eat some leaves from a tree.
"I'm going to be stuck with dry grass forever," he grumbled.
And that is why giraffes are tall and rhinos are so grumpy today.
