He piles them on top of each other.

One chair, o ne table. One chair, one table.

He starts to climb up.

Higher and higher he goes...

...until he reaches the sun!

Amazing! The sun looks just like an orange.

Baby Giraffe has an idea. He opens his mouth wide.

Oh no.

What happened?

Mother Giraffe and Mr. Bear cannot seeanything.

No one can see anything!

The owls are overjoyed. Owls love thedark.

But where is the light?

Baby Giraffe has eaten the sun.

His stomach is on fire. He bursts intotears.

Uncle Bear hears him crying and runs over.

Baby Giraffe tells him everything.

Uncle Bear says, “Don’t worry. I will helpyou.”

Together, they bake a huge loaf of bread.

Uncle Bear tells Baby Giraffe to use the fire in hisstomach to bake the bread.

Baby Giraffe blows. Whoosh! Now he feels muchbetter.

The baked bread floats higher and higher.

Where is it going?

Baby Giraffe is still sad. Mother Giraffe will still be hot.

Mr. Bear gives him an umbrella as a giftfor Mother Giraffe.

Hooray! Mother Giraffe won't be so hot anymore.

But what about the bread?

Well, if you lookclosely, you might notice that the sun looks just like a loaf of bread.
