• How the Giraffe Got His Long Neck Aug 22, 2025

  

  Listen well, children, to the tale of Ɔkɔkɔ, the giraffe, and how his gentle patience earned him the greatest gift of all the forest creatures. This is a story of humility rewarded, of quiet strength recognized, and of how sometimes the greatest blessings come to those who serve others without seeking recognition.

  In the time when all animals were the same height and the acacia trees grew tall and proud with the sweetest leaves at their very tops, there lived a gentle creature named Ɔkɔkɔ. While other animals competed and quarreled over the easily reached food, Ɔkɔkɔ would quietly help the smaller animals reach whatever they needed, never complaining about his own hunger.
