Story #26

Accurate Giraffe was in the know. "The sky is blue," the young girl said. "No," said Accurate Giraffe, "The atmosphere simply scatters blue light more than any other color." The girl ran home crying. A boy walked by, counting his chore money. "I'm rich!" he said. "Actually," said Accurate Giraffe, "That paper tender is worthless. It is only a promise from the government that it's worth the printed amount in gold or silver." The boy ran home crying. Accurate Giraffe was feeling quite proud of his work when a poacher happened by and shot him down. Nobody cried when Accurate Giraffe passed on.
