On this day, the giraffe met the elephant by chance. "Brother Elephant, can I compare your height with you?" Without waiting for the elephant to answer, the giraffe came to stand side by side with the elephant. "Hey, I am more than a head above you!" The elephant muttered in silence. ring. "Brother Elephant, look at my neck. To be honest, the reason why I am much taller than you is all because of it? Besides, with it, I can eat without any effort. Look at the young leaves on the tree -" As he said that, the giraffe stretched its neck and ate the leaves with relish. The elephant remained silent. The giraffe said proudly: "Brother Elephant, it is so convenient to eat with a long neck! Even ducks, cormorants, red-crowned cranes and other little brothers and sisters know this. But why are you so long? With such a short neck, you are the biggest fool in the world!"

"Hahaha..." The elephant couldn't help laughing. "Why are you laughing?" the giraffe asked in surprise. "Brother Deer," the elephant said slowly, "do you think it is good for me to have a long neck like you? But it turns out that it is good for me to have a short neck, but it will be bad if I have a long neck."

"Oh, Brother Elephant, please speak some truth!" "Okay, listen to me..." After hearing what the elephant said, the giraffe suddenly understood.

Smart little readers, do you know why elephants say it is good to have a short neck and bad to have a long neck? Answer: Because the elephant’s head is very heavy, weighing more than a hundred kilograms at least. If the neck is long and thin, it cannot support the head and makes life difficult.
