But, of course, the giraffe could not come in.

Cub Bear said to him, "We are going to try to build a house big enough

for all the animals, so if they come to see us we will have a place for

them to stay. Can you help us?"

And the giraffe said, "I would be very glad to help you if I could,

because your brother was very good to me when we were in the circus."
